I would like you to take a close l

Please answer both following parts:
Part one:
I would like you to take a close look at the song “The Queen and the Solider” by Suzanne Vega, whose lyrics are in the form of a poem.
Once you have carefully read the lyrics and listened to the song, please tell us what type of poem it is? Is it lyric, narrative, or dramatic. Explain why.
Next, I would like you to tell me who the two personas in the poem are. Once you have done that, please characterize the personas. How do you know how what type of person each is? Use quotes (line numbers as citations)to prove this. (Some questions you may consider here: is the queen a good person? Is the soldier overstepping his role by going to the palace? What does he want out of life? Do you think there is a backstory here between the two?)
By no means are you limited to just the questions I asked above. Those were just to get you thinking. I hope you have plenty to say about the main personas and their actions in the song!
Part two:
Compare the poem “Richard Corey” to the song “Eleanor Rigby” by The Beatles using this format:
THESIS: By using theme, characterization and tone, the poet and the songwriter achieve the same point: that growing up is far from easy.
I. Poem
Theme (brief explanation of theme of poem here)
Characterization (brief explanation of character(s) of poem here)
Tone (brief explanation of tone of poem here)
II. Song
Theme (brief explanation of how the theme varies from the poem or is the same)
Characterization (same as above)
Tone
You can choose to add as much detail as you wish to your outline. I have just given you a skeleton outline above, you would have to fill in all the details. I have found that the most successful essay writers usually compose more thorough outlines. If you plan things out carefully, writing your essay can be a breeze! Remember you can also use a point by point outline if you feel that would work better!
Remember: All you are turning in the week is an OUTLINE for your essay on a poem and a song.
Make sure you:
Include a thesis statement at the top of your outline
Indicate whether you are using block format or point by point format somewhere on the top of your page
Fill in your outline with various SPECIFIC points you are going to make in your essay. Your outline should be filled out a lot more than the one I provided to you here for formatting purposes.
Feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions!

PREVIEW: Unit 2 Poetry Analysis Thesis and Outline Assignment Instructions
Purpose
This assignment, due in Module 6, will enable you to identify a poet’s use of poetic devices and create an original thesis that analyzes their function within the text and a coordinating outline for a proposed composition.
Skills
This assignment requires careful explication of a poem and discussion of literary analysis on a surface level. You will practice:
Critical reading and thinking skills
Annotation and explication of a text
Identification and application of poetic devices and connection to a theme
Composition of literary analysis
Learning Objectives: LO1, LO3, LO4, LO5, LO10, LO13
Task
In this assignment, you will build on your previous skills and experiences explicating and annotating a poem with an end goal of an effective outline including an introduction, thesis, and the first two components of a body paragraph with topic sentences and evidence. Your outline will identify specific literary devices and their connection to an overall theme for the poem. This assignment is a continuation of the process you completed in this unit’s previous assignments and allows you to practice several aspects of the typical structure of a literary analysis essay.
Part 1
Choose one of the poems your instructor assigned for this unit. You can certainly choose a poem you have already posted about in one of the Unit 2 forums, but you don’t have to. Be sure to consider what you learned and your feedback from your Poetry Response Video Assignment and Discussion Board 2.1 when working on this assignment.
NOTE: Do not use any of the texts used in sample assignments or instructional videos in this course. If in doubt, check your selection with your professor before beginning this assignment.
Part 2
You will closely read (and reread) your chosen poem, considering its mode, patterns of figurative language, and other literary elements while annotating and explicating the text. This portion of the assignment serves as your notes or foundation to the written composition, so be mindful to genuinely engage with the text and investigate its contents.
Part 3
Next, you will use your annotations and notes to discern a connection between the devices identified and an overall theme of the poem. Refer back to the preliminary work with this type of skill with Discussion 2.1 and the Sample Literary Analysis to help guide your process. It is during this step that you will create your working thesis statement and related supporting details.
Part 4
Use this section as the framework for creating an analytical outline. Your finished outline should include the following elements:
First, an introductory paragraph that offers key background information on the poem and what you are focusing on about it. Consider using the format suggested in your Literary Criticism Assignment in Unit 1. As with any introduction, your thesis should be the final sentence. Compose a well-crafted thesis statement: One sentence that identifies the connection of literary device(s) to a theme within the text. Remember, your thesis should be specific and argumentative.
Next, compose topic sentences (Main Ideas) to begin your body paragraphs. These should focus on specific ideas and elements from the poem that provide evidence and support for your overall interpretation of the poem (thesis). Keep in mind that your topic sentences are also specific and argumentative; they are essentially the thesis for that body paragraph. (Be sure to have NO LESS THAN 3 topic sentences total.)
For each topic sentence, you will provide AT LEAST one textual example (Evidence) to support your claim. Be sure to provide the MLA citation for each example, as you must use these in an essay. You want to keep the number of examples per paragraph no more than two.
To follow each textual example, you will need to provide. Analysis or explanation of how and why the examples you selected support NOT ONLY the topic sentence argument BUT ALSO the thesis for essay overall. The analysis portion of the paragraph is the longest, most in-depth portion of the body paragraph. For the outline, you will not need to fully develop your analysis; you will simply need to provide a sentence (or two) that shows the connection between your Main idea and Evidence.
The final step of the body paragraph is the Link or transition; this sentence is the signal that informs your reader that this paragraph is finished and builds a segue to the next topic. You can use transitional words and phrases (in addition to, in contrast, although, etc.). Keep in mind that your final body paragraph will not transition to a new topic paragraph but to the conclusion; it will read a little differently than the others.
To close your outline, you will want to provide a concluding paragraph. This paragraph should echo your earlier thesis statement but not simply restate it. Your conclusion should identify the larger significance of your essay: Why is your argument or information important for others to read and consider. What should your reader do after reading your argument? So what?
**Sources for textual support should come from the poem***

“My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke Please watch this video about pattern, sou

“My Papa’s Waltz” by Theodore Roethke Please watch this video about pattern, sound, and meter in poetry. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URuMb15CWJs&t=34s ) Read this poem carefully, and consider both the story the poet is telling and the rhyme and meter he uses to tell it. Notice how it is written in Iambic tri-meter, which is the pace of a waltz. It has a bouncy, and childlike feeling to it. Notice how this affects your interpretation of the poem. ( https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/43330/my-papas-waltz ) * After reading My Papa’s Waltz BY THEODORE ROETHKE and watched the video please answer these questions: – In your view, who is the speaker of this poem and who are they talking to? How does the speaker feel about this person and what is the evidence for these feelings? AND, how does the poem make you feel, and why? *** In your discussions, please be and trust yourself. Don’t go to outside sources. Write informally and honestly.Your answer must be written in your own voice and words. All plagiarism must be avoided. *** I would like the paper to be looking like a question & answer format rather than looking like an essay. *** *** Only use the sources that I gave you *** express what you are going to write in a way that sounds like it’s coming from you and sounds more like you’re giving your personal opinion using your own words******

Write an essay, which is based on Cathy Song’s 1983 poem “Lost Sister”Begin your essay with an introduction that answers the question directly and sets up the terms of your argument.  Choose quotations that directly prove your arguments, and incorporate them correctly into your sentences. Finish your essay with a conclusion that summarizes your argument and offers any final thoughts.
Essay Question:  In “Lost Sister,” the speaker describes Chinese women’s experiences in China and in America. How do these experiences compare to each other? What are their individual advantages and disadvantages? Which experience does the speaker seem to prefer, and why?  Illustrate your answer with at least ten (10) quotations, including line number citations, and use the vocabulary terms simile, metaphor, apostrophe, symbol, and connotation at least one time each in sentences that show the terms’ meanings and how they influence the meaning of the poem.  (For example:  “The speaker uses a simile in line X” would not count.  Instead, identify the simile with quotation, and explain how it is important to the meaning of the poem, to your own argument.)  Your essay should be at least 700 words long (longer is fine; shorter is not).

CONTRASTS
“THE NEXT POEM” BY DANA GIOIA
CLAIM:
In the poem “The Next Poem,” Dana Gioia contrasts the speaker’s desire for the elusive imagined poem yet to come with the reality of the struggle of writing poetry.
EVIDENCE & INTERPRETATION:
Gioia begins the poem by musing “how much better it seems now / than when it is finally done,” the “it” he imagines is the poem yet begun. The speaker imagines the
“unforgettable” and “cunning” words and stanzas he has not yet written, harkening to the common experience of imagining
EVIDENCE & INTERPRETATION QUESTIONS:
How does the poet use CONTRAST to create meaning in the poem? What moves does the poet use to create this CONTRAST? Why does this matter? How does analyzing this skill in the poem add to the reader’s understanding of its meaning, significance, or something else?
CLAIM:
In the poem, “My Confessional Sestina,” Dana Gioia crafts a pithy and playful sestina about the form’s overuse and oversimplification to comment on the reductionist mindset of some poets in using the traditional form as an entry point into the world of poetry.
EVIDENCE & INTERPRETATION:
As a rule, Sestinas have the same six words to end the six lines of the six main stanzas. For his confession, Gioia admits the words: sestinas, workshops, students, magazines, contributors, and taste. This repetition and reordering of these words throughout the poem, while following the conventions of the sestina form, highlight the speaker’s annoyance

1. The gentle sway of trees in the breeze,
A symphony of birds and buzzing bees

1. The gentle sway of trees in the breeze,
A symphony of birds and buzzing bees.
But the modern world, with its endless need,
Ravages the land with reckless speed.
2. Mountains rise with majestic grace,
But their beauty now marred, a tragic case.
For in their heart, we dig and defile,
Fueling our greed, all the while.
3. Oceans deep, a world mysterious and vast,
Yet we despoil their depths with our toxic cast.
Creatures of wonder, now suffocating and distressed,
As our pollution inflicts upon them a cruel test.
4. The air once pure, now heavy with our waste,
Choking the earth, a bitter and toxic taste.
The sky’s once vibrant hue, now dulled and gray,
A consequence of our actions, we must now dully pay.
5. But in this darkened plight, there’s hope to be found,
For with each small change, a new path can be bound.
So let’s stand as guardians, with courage and might,
Protecting this world, ensuring it’s forever bright.
