Write a paper on Wilfred Owen's "Futility" theme and Identify a number of key images in the poem
The essay assignment to compose a paper of at least 750 words in which you offer your interpretation of a key theme in one of the assigned poems. You may choose any poem from the reading list except for "The Chimney Sweeper." If you wish, you may base your paper on the analysis you began in this week's discussion question. If you get "stuck," read your chosen poem again with a pen in hand so you can make notes. Do not hesitate to share your initial ideas with your classmates and the instructor.
You should open your essay with an introductory paragraph that presents your poem as well as its author. Information about the poet and the social context surrounding the writing of the poem can be found in your textbook. End your introduction with a thesis statement that identifies and interprets a key theme of the poem.
Each paragraph following the introduction should present specific aspects of the poem that help to illustrate and support your thesis. Make sure to quote and analyze specific lines that support your argument.
Include a concluding paragraph at the end that summarizes the main points of the paper and explains the significance of the thesis.
