POE POEMS: GROUP ANALYSIS

In your groups, you will each need to participate in analyzing your assigned poem from this list:

  • The City in the Sea" (744-745)
  • "The Sleeper" (745-746)
  • "Ulalume" (757-759)
  • "Alone" (812)
  • "The Conqueror Worm" (814-815).

Your group will need to present the poem to the class. Your presentation should do the following:

  • Present a thesis that argues a specific interpretation of the poem's overall point
  • Provides interpretations of at least three major images or sections of the poem to show how the poem sets up a mood or concept and then ultimately makes its point
  • Offer specific quotes to help prove the group's claim

Everyone in the group should be prepared to participate in the discussion.
