Consider the title “May Day”. Who is having what kind of May Day and why?

Story “May Day” – F Scott Fitzgerald Use of secondary sources, on-line or printed for ideas/argument/evidence/summary are NOT PERMITTED. Your essay must be entirely your analysis, your writing. The essay must have quotes and close readings (extensive requirement). Essay should have introductory paragaraph, a clear thesis statement, and at least 5 analytical paragraph. Each analytical paragraph should have a claim statement which answers the thesis statement

write an essay that compares one 19th century poet (Whitman or Dickinson) with one 20th century poet (Frost, Hughes, Eliot, Lowell, Plath, Sexton, Ginsburg). You might focus on some shared, common or kindred aspects of their poetics, or you might explore a central contrast or difference between them.

There are many ways to compare any two poets, and an “A”/excellent paper will focus on one specific thesis/idea about the poets, use quotes and examples from the poem, and explain how those quotes and examples support the thesis. Some areas on which you might focus: –What sort of first person persona (“I”) does each author create in their work, and to what effect? –Who does each of these poets speak to/for? –How do each of these poets view the relationship between the individual self and the world? –Although quite different, how might both of these poets be challenging poetic and social conventions? –How does the style of these poems differ, in tone, structure, word choice, scope, use of rhythm and rhyme? Do any similarities exist? Sample thesis statements (for a comparison that will not be allowed in Essay Two): Basic/C-level thesis: “Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson are very different poets” Good/B-level thesis: “Walt Whitman is a social poet, while Emily Dickinson focuses on the anti-social in her work.” Excellent/A-level thesis: “Although Walt Whitman is a social poet, while Emily Dickinson writes from a more anti-social perspective, both poets argue against societal limits on individual freedom.” When quoting poetry, use the line number, not the page number. “I celebrate myself”(Whitman line 1). The title of the poem should be clear from the context of your writing.

Upon first proposal at the Constitutional Convention the Bill of Rights were unanimously defeated. Some believed that the federal government did not have the power to infringe upon their basic liberties in the first place, and they had concerns over the possibility of forgetting to include something important. If they did create a list it could possibly restrain them from claiming any rights not included. Others pointed out that state constitutions already provided these protections, and argued that they were redundant and unnecessary. In your opinion was the Bill of Rights a necessary addition to the Constitution? Can you identify any rights that are not included that you believe should have been? Defend your answer.
