  1. Format for Composition Professional approach

  2. Building your Topic Sentence Ex. When the author.... Ex. In Sylvia Plath’s “Mirror”, Plath uses many examples of personification. If you introduce your author and then the name of your poem, you will have established a formal tone. • If you jump right into your analysis, you will miss an opportunity to formally introduce your topic

  3. When you use an example from the poem.... Ex. By and by ..bam “...” (28). Plath reveals the emotion the woman attaches to ageing. For example she states “....” (28). Take a minute to introduce your quotes. The line number goes in parenthesis, followed by a period. • If you don’t pause to introduce your quote, it will be an awkward fit

  4. Discuss means... • To examine or consider...explore in conversation. • To personify means to give human qualities to inanimate objects. In an extended personification something non-human becomes human. That object is given emotion, insight and depth, all in order to show something. • We see through the personified object’s perspective. Your composition should include, what is being personified? How? And Why?

  5. Make sure you have a concluding sentence, which sums up your analysis
