Write a paper in which you argue for your interpretation of the following poems, in terms of imagery, metaphor, and/or themes.

• Yusef Komunyakaa, “Blackberries”

– The idea behind critical analysis of literature is to write an essay that explains how a work makes use of images, employs metaphors, or demonstrates its themes. Develop a thesis (with three major points) in which you state your interpretation of the poem, and then in the body paragraphs argue for your belief (and provide support from the poem itself). Your support for your argument should come from the poem itself—and that means you should quote often from the poem. However, quoting from the poem does NOT mean quoting entire stanzas; quotations should be sprinkled through your discussion (individual words, phrases, and occasional lines). Quote what is significant. Length: 500 words (12-point font, double-spaced, 1″ margins) Support: Quote liberally from the poem to illustrate your statements. Quoting from a poem:

 • When quoting 2-3 lines of poetry, use the slash to separate lines.

• Long quotes (4 lines or more) should be blocked (indented)—and those passages should appear just as in the text. Omit quote marks ONLY when blocking a quote. Sources: The poem you are analyzing should be your ONLY source for this paper. MLA Documentation:

• After quoting from a poem, provide a parenthetical citation (citing the line numbers).

• Additionally, provide a works cited page; see the OWL at Purdue site online. Proofread your paper carefully and correct errors in spelling, punctuation, grammar, and sentences. Make sure poem titles are always in quote marks. Also, your paper will need a title.

Review of the 500-word theme:

 I. Paragraph I—Introduction—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences)

 • Lead-in (mention the title of the work, the author’s name, and the date of composition)

• Provide a brief synopsis (2-3 sentences, with the gist of the work)

 • Thesis statement—list the points to be developed in the body of the paper (three aspects of the poem, perhaps related to meaning or images or symbols)

II. Paragraph 2—First Body Paragraph—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences)

 • Follow the topic sentence with support—and in a literary analysis, that means quotations, quotations, quotations!

III. Paragraph 3—Second Body Paragraph—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences)

 • Follow the topic sentence with support—and in a literary analysis, that means quotations, quotations, quotations!

 IV. Paragraph 4—Third Body Paragraph—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences)

• Follow the topic sentence with support—and in a literary analysis, that means quotations, quotations, quotations!

V. Paragraph 5—The Conclusion—100-125 words (or 5-12 sentences)

• Mirror the introduction—restate the thesis, restate the major points without being repetitive

• End with an important thought, a provocative idea, a quote

Thesis Statements: You are responsible for finding your own thesis statement, which is the focus of the paper. To do this, you need to read the poem several times, annotate in the margins (look for patterns, repetitions, make comments), do some thinking and prewriting in which you explore the complexities and issues in the poem, consider the writer’s intentions, and then choose your own narrowed approach. Develop a thesis statement that provides a blueprint for your paper, listing three major points you hope to illustrate—each major point to be developed in a body paragraph. Each body paragraph should have a topic sentence and several example sentences—and in a literary analysis, quotations from the work of literature are the examples.

Summarize the question you developed, and then relate how you would work through the four steps of the data, information, knowledge, wisdom continuum. Be specific.
Identify the databases and search words you would use.

Now that you have completed your report, it is time to design and present your findings. Your task is to organize and develop the three (3) parts (introduction, body, and closing) of an effective presentation, based on your Justification Report (Assignment 2.3). Chapter 12 in our text provides overall information on presentation format, content, and delivery. Please do not simply cut and paste your justification report content to the slides. Instead develop clear, concise content that enhances your presentation narration or notes. Remember that your slides are meant to be highlights and your audience should not spend a great deal of time reading from the slides but instead listening to you present the concepts.

Create an eight to ten (9-10) slide presentation in which you:

  1. Ensure that your PowerPoint presentation fulfills the appropriate length requirements and professional style requirements.
  2. Open with an engaging introduction of the topic of your report. Include one (1) title slide and one (1) introductory slide.
  3. For the body of your presentation, cover the main points of your report. Create slides that reinforce and illustrate your main ideas. Follow basic design principles for effective slide content.
  4. For your single closing slide, finish with a memorable wrap-up statement that refocuses on the purpose of your report.
  5. Use PowerPoint voice-over and / or the notes section to present your slides.

Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:

  • Include a title slide containing the title of the assignment, your name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The title slide is not included in the required slide length.
  • Format the PowerPoint presentation with headings on each slide, and two to three (2-3) relevant graphics (photographs, graphs, clip art, etc.) throughout the presentation, ensuring that the presentation is visually appealing and readable from 18 feet away. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
  • Slides should abbreviate the information in no more than five or six (5 or 6) bullet points each.
  • Slide titles should be based on the criteria being summarized (e.g., “Four Key Attributes,” “Responses to Budget Issues,” etc.).

Assignment Checklist

  • Descriptive titles on each of the slides
  • Text contains concise, precise content
  • Graphics convey the idea described by the slide text
  • Statements in bulleted lists have a parallel structure
  • The font size is easily read from a distance
  • There are no more than three (3) different font styles in the presentation
  • The color and background convey a formal business tone
  • Animation effects are used in moderation
  • There are no misspellings or typographical errors

The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:

  • Assess strengths and weaknesses in the student’s own oral communication and in the oral communication of others.
  • Use sentence variety, effective word choice, and correct grammar in oral communication.
  • Analyze verbal and nonverbal techniques that enhance oral communication within a business and / or professional context.

How do you know when to use “a” or “the” is a sentence? For example, “Are you riding a bus?” or “Are you riding the bus?”

A, An, The are articles.

Use “a” or “an” with a singular count noun when you mean “one of many,” “any,” “in general.” Ex: John is a boy. Use “the” with any noun when the meaning is specific; for example, when the noun names the only one (or one) of a kind. Ex: I live on the Earth.
