Taking a Deeper Look at "Introduction to Poetry"


I looked deeper into Billy Collin's poem "Introduction to Poetry". I wrote the poem out by hand and annotated it with thoughts, insights, and questions I had well analyzing the poem more thoroughly. I found that the author is really trying to send a message that it is becoming more and more difficult for students to be able to look at a piece of poetry and see it as a human being with a personality, background, and meaning.


Thesis/Claim Practice:
  1. Policy - Introduction to Poetry should be read and taught to students in high school and college. 
  2. Definition - The author is making a statement about poetry in this poem.
  3. Comparison - The different ways the author suggests to analyze a poem is like activities students would do daily.
  4. Evaluation - Introduction to Poetry is good for students to read because of the message it holds.
  5. Causal - The dramatic words the author uses at the end of the poem causes an impact to be made on the reader.
