Module 5: Poetry Reflective Essay Topics Instructions: Choose one of the 6 poems you have studied and, using one of the topics below, write a two-page essay. Address every point in the directions and use textual evidence from the literature to support your points. In poetry, that means quoting phrases or words from within lines and citing the lines correctly. Before planning and drafting your essay, refer to the reflective essay instructions and grading criteria on pages 5-7 of our syllabus. Also, remember you may not write this essay as a text-submission (i.e. you may not type your response into this box). You must type your essay as a Word document, use Save As, browse your computer (below), and attach the document for submission. Choice 1: Write a Poetry Explication (for poems 10 lines or shorter) Start your introduction by naming the title and author of the poem and by talking about the subject of the poem. Perhaps you could briefly discuss the title and identify the speaker and/or tone. (You don’t need a thesis statement.) Then begin the body of the paper which should be a line by line analysis. Don’t simply summarize what each line “says”; discuss the techniques the poet is using and what ideas and feelings these techniques help the poet convey. You will be talking about things like imagery, denotations and connotations of words, figures of speech (such as similes, metaphors, personification or hyperbole), symbols, irony or humor (if they exist), and sound effects. For each point, you make, refer to and quote individual words or phrases within the lines of the poem to help you illustrate and explain your idea. In conclusion, summarize points and give an explanation of the theme of the poem. Choice 2: Write a Poetry Analysis (for poems longer than 10 lines) Start your introduction by naming the title and author of the poem and by talking about the subject of the poem. Perhaps you could also briefly analyze the title, the speaker, and the tone. Also, include a thesis statement that forecasts the aspect(s) of the poem you are analyzing. (imagery? symbolism? figures of speech? sound effects? irony?) The body paragraphs of the essay will support the thesis. Your paragraphs can be organized in several different ways. For instance, you could have a paragraph on figures of speech, a paragraph on visual imagery, and a paragraph on denotation and connotation of words. Or, if your poem has several stanzas, you could organize the body of the essay on a stanza by stanza basis. Regardless of how you organize, remember, you are not merely talking about what each line “says”; you’re explaining what techniques the poet is using and what meanings and feelings these techniques help to convey. For each point, you make, refer to, and quote individual words and phrases within the lines of the poem to help you illustrate and explain your ideas. In conclusion summarize your points and give an explanation of the theme of the poem

Explain the “faith before reason” paradigm for addressing the relationship between faith and reason (Provide a definition and an advocate of the paradigm.) B. List two objections to the “faith before reason” paradigm. C. Explain the “reason before faith” paradigm for addressing the relationship between faith and reason (Provide a definition and an advocate of the paradigm). D. List two objections to the “reason before faith” paradigm. E. Explain the “faith alone” paradigm for addressing the relationship between faith and reason (Provide a definition and an advocate of the paradigm). F. How does a discussion of the relationship of faith and reason reflect the “mythos/Logos” paradigm? (Define “mythos” worldview; Define the “logos” worldview; explain the extent to which these are reflected in the discussion of and tension between faith and reason). Utilize the Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy article cited in this weeks reading in responding to the following material: G. Cite one objection/problem which those affirming the notion that “God is unbounded by the temporal sequence” will inevitably encounter and how might this problem be countered by the “faith before reason” paradigm? H. Imagine there is a God who knows the future free action of human beings. If God does know you will freely do some act X, then it is true that you will indeed do X. But if you are free, would you not be free to avoid doing X? Given that it is foreknown you will do X, it appears you would not be free to refrain from the act. Questions: 1. In what manner does the above scenario constitute a dilemma/paradox? 2. Can the above paradox be resolved? If so, how? If not, why not? 3. How might this problem reflect both the “faith before reason” and the “reason before faith” paradigms?
