I would like to do an analytical essay for my first assignment. Doing an analytical essay will demonstrate a deep analysis of the poem I’ll be choosing because I’ll be mentioning what’s my favorite part / line of the poem and describing what it means. Also, I would want to summarize what the writer is addressing about the poem to the audience/ viewers. To whom is addressing to, the setting , the audience reaction / youtube comments. When I’ll do the analytical essay on whichever spoken word poem I’ll chose, analytical essay will teach me on what I will need to analyze in the poem. It’ll also teach me on how I want my analytical essay to flow on explaining the pattern and interpreting it so that the reader will understand the poem. Since I really want to work on organizing my essay, I feel like that should be my goal in the essay besides going in depth about the writer poem. I’m mostly concern on how the essay will turn out because I still haven’t decided what poem I want to interpret plus I’m not so good at understanding poems. However, the discussion we had in class on monday was very helpful for me because it made me understand my peers point of view toward the two poems. In addition, it made me realize that not only you need to interpret what the writer is talking about but to observe / hear the audience reaction. Both poems spoke about language and history, in which I want to analyze the lines that caught my attention about those two topics. I want to analyze the lines where the writer spoke strongly by raising their tone, observing their facial expressions. I believe doing observation would help me analyze and understand the poet feelings and the audience emotion throughout the video.
