Using specific details from the poem, in a well-developed paragraph, show how the author uses that element or technique to develop the passage.

1) Obvious use of a literary element.  Underline it.

2) Define your literary element-- (if you are writing about theme, be sure to explain what a theme is in general)

3) Use of a direct quote from the poem.  Put quotes around it if you haven't already.

4) Explanation of how and why the literary element is used in the text.  If you have not done this, do it now.
