What is the ‘role’ of poetry in the world?
WRITING PROMPT: What is the ‘role’ of poetry in the world?: Imagine you are writing an article for the MDC Herald about LITERARY CULTURE IN SOUTH FLORIDA. The writing prompt is broad, but I would like you to answer this question in the context of Wislawa Szymborska’s Nobel lLecture and 3 poems we discussed this semester: “Dear White America,” “Mango Poem” and “Alabanza: In Praise of the Local 100” and make it relevant to what is going on today in our community. Your essay should discuss these three poems. REQ: -Intro with thesis -2 body paragraphs with direct citations from at least 3 of the above mentioned texts. -Conclusion that answer the “so what?” question that shows the reader why what you’ve just written ‘matters’, which is, in many ways, the whole point of Szymborska’s Nobel Lecture. -500 – 650 words -MLA FORMAT
I am attaching my essay (C. Rodriguez) and other from a classmate so you can have an idea of what I need
I need it to be more local (I live in Miami) and fix some errors.
