I need someone to answer “Map of your essay” questions(You are not going to write the essay, just mapping it):
Do a close-reading of Langston Hughes’ “Harlem.” Your essay should have a thesis at the end of the first paragraph. Your thesis must logically result from a careful consideration of the poem. Your thesis should tell us something complex that you realize about the poem based upon your analysis.
The body of your essay should explain and develop your thesis through analysis of how the poem works. Each paragraph of your essay should direct our attention not only to what the poet says, but also to the way in which he says it. As you draw our attention to specific literary elements—including such elements as imagery, metaphors, similes, rhyme, sounds, allusions, punctuation, etc.—make sure to explain how those elements connect to your thesis. In other words, tell us how an analysis of those elements provides you with deeper insight into your idea.
Finally, your essay should have a conclusion that both ties together your analysis and gives us something new to think about.
Throughout your essay, when you include references from the poem, include the line numbers in parentheses. When you include a quotation that includes two or more lines, use a slash to demonstrate line breaks.
“Harlem” by Langston Hughes
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore –
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over –
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode
