Write an analytic response to a favorite piece of literature. Analyze a poem, a play, or a story.
Are you needing help with writing one, or coming up with one?
i have one “I Am Offering This Poem” by Jimmy Santiago Baca I am offering this poem to you, since I have nothing else to give. Keep it like a warm coat when winter comes to cover you, or like a pair of thick socks the cold cannot bite through, I love you, I have nothing else to give you, so it is a pot full of yellow corn to warm your belly in winter, it is a scarf for your head, to wear over your hair, to tie up around your face, I love you, Keep it, treasure this as you would if you were lost, needing direction, in the wilderness life becomes when mature; and in the corner of your drawer, tucked away like a cabin or hogan in dense trees, come knocking, and I will answer, give you directions, and let you warm yourself by this fire, rest by this fire, and make you feel safe, I love you, It’s all I have to give, and all anyone needs to live, and to go on living inside, when the world outside no longer cares if you live or die; remember, I love you.
how do i Analyze it...
The basic element of an analysis is explaining the authors meaning. What do you think the authors purpose was for writing this piece?
i think he was telling her how he loves her or something like that
you are correct, but he was also explaining that despite his lack of essentials, his love was like that of the necessities of the world.
ok how can i lay it out. i mean in which format? is it like an essay or a poem
an essay would be the best way to do write it
