Topic Prompt: Wordsworth’s purpose in his “Preface” to Lyrical Ballads is to explain and defend his approach to poetry. Using “Michael,” explain and analyze Wordsworth’s stance in Lyrical Ballads.
Example: In his “Preface,” Wordsworth makes a statement about the language of poetry. If you planned to quote and then address that as your theme/central idea, you would ask yourself: How is Wordsworth commenting on the language of poetry in “Michael”? Your answer would be your thesis statement for this analysis.
You must quote from “Preface” at least once
you must quote from “Michael” at least once
You must quote from this article by Joshua Ware at least twice.
Because space is limited, you must quickly assert your thesis and then be highly selective in the passages you choose to support your points; direct textual evidence must be included and cited to prove your observations and assertions. Your response should indicate not only that you read the material, but also that you comprehended and appreciated the author’s greater message.
for work cited page All three entries should be alphabetized and in MLA formatting.
This should not be a summary of the work, but rather an in-depth response to and analysis of one or several of the text’s relevant aspects.
