Poetry Essay Thesis and Annotated Bibliography Instructions: You will select one of the poems to write about and compose a close reading research essay utilizing at least 2 academic articles. A close reading entails going through the poem or story line by line in order to explain and analyze it. Often, in order to understand the wider significance of a work of literature, you must do some research about it. An annotated bibliography is one way in which you can organize your research. An annotated bibliography is just simply a lengthier, more descriptive works cited page and it takes the place of the works cited page so only the one annotated bibliography is needed. The annotated bibliography not only lists each book/article/website or other source but also describes what type of information each contains and how that information could be used in the particular essay you will be writing. First write the citation for each source you are using. Then, underneath each citation you will write at least three sentences describing what information is contained within that source and how it may be useful to your essay. You will need at least two academic sources compiled in an annotated bibliography for this assignment and for all of your essays.    See the examples on the next page for information on how to format your annotated bibliography and how to format your assignments in MLA format.

Boston: Wadsworth Cengage, 2009. 52-72. PDF. Dobie creates chapters for each of the literary theories detailing the history of that theory, listing important terminology used in that theory, and even giving examples of how to write an essay using that theory. Dobie even shows how each of the literary theories has been expanded to include new uses of critical theories. For example Dobie shows how male and female scholars used feminism to help develop queer theory and how the two were combined to bring into question larger topics of gender studies and identity formation.
