Compare and contrast two poems or songs focusing on sound and rhythm
Good evening :)
You could begin by comparing/contrasting two works by the same author, two pieces from the same writing style, or two pieces with the same theme, subject, or topic. As with songs; you can choose two by the same singer/band, the same genre, or different genres for that matter. The choices are pretty much endless here, so do something you enjoy!

Hi Danielle,
I'm not really sure about the format that you should be following for such an assignment, but I could suggest a few things that could help you with the project:
1. Compare the theme used by the poets: Descriptive? Emotional? Panegyric?
2. Contrast the characters: Outgoing? Pleasant? Introvert?
3. Distinguish between the styles used: Rhyme Schemes, patterns followed, etc.
4. Also, try to focus a little on the conditions in which the poem was written by the poet so as to portray its effects on the poem. (Like times of war -- its effects on the poem. eg: In the poem Survivors by Siegfried Sassoon / poverty, etc.)
Good Luck :)
