In MLA format write an essay about any one of the following poems using a critical approach from the Literary and Cultural Theory textbook: “How Beastly the Bourgeoisie is”, “Variations on the word love”, “Siren song”, “On the Seventh Day.” Remember to include a topic sentence and thesis statement near the beginning of your paper and provide ample support for your assertions. Also be sure to properly introduce and reference your quotations and sources and include a “Works Cited” page at the end of your essay.
You should reference both the poem you are analyzing and the theory text at least once each.
1) Analyze “Variations on the word love”, “How Beastly the Bourgeoisie Is,” “Long-Legged Fly,” or “The Second Coming” using Marxist literary analysis.
2) Analyze “Siren song,” “On the Seventh Day,” or “Leda and the Swan” using Feminist Analysis.
Remember that theoretical approaches simply provide us lenses through which we can view the texts. They are not definitive interpretations of the world. Research the theory from the text that interests you the most, then analyze the poem of your choice from that perspective, making specific references to some of the points made by Hall.
–For this assignment you should quote from the poem and theory textbook at least once each, and the quotations must conform to MLA standards: the quotations should be introduced properly and grammatically correct with proper documentation in a “Works Cited” page at the end of the essay. If you choose to use secondary material, it must also be quoted properly with proper documentation. Failure to do so constitutes plagiarism, a very serious offence. Copying sources from the internet and not citing them is plagiarism; paraphrasing without acknowledging the source is plagiarism.
