Please answer both following parts:
Part One:
After reading the sample explication of Phillip Larkin’s poem “A Study of Reading Habits,” answer the following questions:
What kind of poem did the author of the essay expect after reading the title of the poem? What kind of poem did he get? (The answer can be found in the first paragraph, where the essay’s author sets up the major discrepancy of the poem. The rest of the explication will illustrate how the author accomplishes this.)
How did the author of the essay organize the paragraphs of their explication? Give a brief explanation.
Part Two:
Write a 2 paper in which you explicate the poem “Harlem” according to the guidelines below.
Writing an explication essay really isn’t that difficult once you have the main objectives in mind.
As with any essay, you have to sit down to write with a plan in mind. For an explication, your main objective is to come up with a few lines describing what the poem is about, and then use the rest of the essay to prove how the author uses literary elements to make their point.
In the explication example on page 341 of our text, in the first paragraph the author sets up what the poem is about. They talk about the “ironic discrepancy” between the formal language of the title and the “slangy, even vulgar” language of the poem itself. The paper’s author even goes on to say the subject is not the man’s reading habits as is implied by the title, but rather “the revelation of the character” they provide. Now he must use the rest of his paper to prove his statements true. The same is true for you. Decide what the main idea of Harlem is, and state it in your first paragraph.
In the second paragraph the author speaks about the structure of the poem; how the poem is organized and presented. You may do this for the poem “Harlem” as well. I don’t expect you to know about rhyme and meter yet, but you may try to identify the physical structure of the poem. The spaces between lines are there for a reason. What do you think those reasons might be?
If you choose to skip over structure, you can go right into your first literary element. You might want to talk about the metaphors in the poems, or the similes. Show how each one lends itself to the overall meaning of the poem. Use the ideas you and your classmates generated last week in the discussion to help you with this!
Next, you might decide to talk about the diction of the poem. What words does Langston Hughes use to help further the cause of his poem?
For the final paragraph, you might try to look up some information on the life of Langston Hughes and see if you can draw any parallels to the poem. This is the ONLY place you may use outside research if you choose. (Make sure to use a Works Cited page if you use outside research.) If you choose not to use outside research simply write a paragraph in which you sum up some of points you made and make sure you reiterate the main purpose of the poem.
Therefore you should make sure:
Your paper has a title – which could simply be the title of the poem
Your first paragraph paraphrases the main idea(s) of the poem and what it is about
Your body paragraphs each deal with a particular literary element and how that element helps the poet get his point across
The “concluding” paragraph can deal with the poet’s relationship to the speaker in the poem (Which requires a bit of outside research) or simply sum up what the author’s main point was and how effective you think the author was in making his poin
