Hi
I was wondering if someone could help me with an essay i need to write for ENG 4U A.
The assignment is: Write an essay in which you analyze the following poem " to an athlete dying young. by A.E Housman. Do this as fully as you can, meaning that you should look at the poem as a whole, and at how the details within the poem (the languae, rhythm, imagery, form and sound) contribute the overall effect. You should also register the emotional impact of the poem (again as a whole and in parts) on you.
Following your analysism write a one-or-two sentence statement that you think Housman would have made about Gatsby's death and explain why, in light of the poem, he would have made it.
I have been brainstorming all day and cann't figure out how this essay should be formatted. And what my topics shoud be. If anyone has any suggestions they would be grealy apperiated.
Thanks
