Below you will find 3 questions related to themes expressed in poetry this semester. For each question, you must identify three poems (see poems identified below) from the Schiff anthology which speak to, satisfy, illustrate and/or comment on the specific topic (9 different poems total). For each poem, you must write a brief analysis of at least 100 words. You can make reference to the poem in whole or in part, but any references must tie in to the relevant topic. Simply quoting a poem will not satisfy the response; without analyzing the poetry, responses will not earn full credit. Any parts of any poem referenced directly must include quotation marks and the poet’s last name.
Questions:
1. We can see how poems use different forms of IMAGERY to portray a certain scene, create a mood, or draw out a feeling from the reader that will contribute to the speaker’s overall desire for the poem. Since images can impact readers differently, you are to identify three different poems which present imagery that assist you in more fully grasping what you believe to be the speaker’s intent. Consider the use of color, sound, light, texture, etc. Be sure to explain the impact of the imagery on your overall understanding of the poem. Simply identifying that imagery is present will not satisfy the question; references must be analyzed.
-Poems to be analyzed for imagery:
1. “Never Shall I Forget” by Ellie Wiesel
2. “Treblinka” by Michael Hamburger
3. “Farewell to Maria” by Tadeusz Borowski
2. Several examples of poems reference the dynamic among PARENTS AND CHILDREN. Sometimes they present from the parents’ point of view and sometimes from the children’s point of you. As these circumstances are portrayed, readers will have different feelings about the poem and the events experienced. Identify three different poems which present family dynamics and explain the impact on you as a reader. Be sure to include why or how you feel the way you do with regard to the presence of these role players within a family. Whether you select poems which reference adults or children (or both), you must justify the use of these references and analyze their impact on your overall understanding of the poem.
-Poems to be analyzed for parents and children:
1. “Both Your Mothers” by Jerzy Ficowski
2. “I Was Not There” by Karen Gershon
3. ‘Magda Goebbels” by W.D. Snodgrass
3.Among the most compelling issues present is the guilt portrayed by survivors, simply because they survived. Select three poems which present elements of SURVIVOR GUILT. Then explain the impact of such guilt, including shame, embarrassment, or failure of some duty or responsibility. Be sure to analyze how these portrayals form your opinions of the poet, the topics expressed, and the experiences that led to these feelings.
-Poems to be analyzed for survivor’s guilt:
1. “I Did Not Manage to Save” by Jerzy Ficowski
2. “History and Reality” by Stephen Spender
3. “I, the Survivor” by Bertolt Brecht
