2.1.10 Practice: Complete Your Assignment Write an essay that compares and contrasts a Whitman poem with a Dickinson poem. You'll decide how the poets' attitudes or perspectives are alike and different, based on how they use poetic devices such as rhyme and figurative language.
Think about how you might sum up your whole analysis in a single claim. Then think about how you might support your claim with evidence — particularly quotes from the two poems. Finally, consider what commentary you can give that will help readers understand how your evidence supports your claim.
Your essay should include the following elements:

A claim that compares poetic devices in the two poems and explains how they show each poet's outlook
An introduction with a claim, a summary of the poems, and a prediction of the topics you'll cover
Body paragraphs with topic sentences, evidence from the poems, and commentary about your evidence
A conclusion that reviews your main points and makes a final statement for readers to carry away
Transitions that ease readers from one topic to the next and show connections between ideas

Hello. This question requires a personal answer as it requires you to show your interpretation of two poems and it requires you to show how you can perceive the literary resources used by the authors and how the poem is developed by them. In that case, I can't write an essay for you, but I can show you how to write one.

First, you must choose the poems that will be analyzed so that you can write your essay. I would recommend for you the poems "Lucy's Song" by Charles Dickens and "Sometimes with One I Love" by Walt Whitman, as they are short poems, easy to understand and are popular poems with many analyzes spread around the internet which you can read and use of inspiration for writing your essay.

Once you have read the two poems, you should note what your perception of them is, how the authors develop them, what literary techniques they use and how the poems differ and resemble. After that, you can write your essay as follows:

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
