does anyone know the best structure for elliot essays is?. I was gonna do paras for each poem but then my teacher suggested it is more sophisticated to have paras by theme where u incorporate 2-3 poems per para. she said we dont have to compare them but idk this structure better or nah?
i did that for mod a cos i did poems (treated keats' poetry as one text and each quote was a different poem so i ended up using 6 out of the 7 poems for my essay) and it depends on your marker but if you do it right it can be more effective than writing just one poem per paragraph, especially since a collection of poems is meant to be considered as one text while one poem per paragraph gives off the vibe you're viewing them as 3 separate texts which is not the vibe you should be aiming for. remember textual integrity, the most important part of mod b - different aspects of a text come together to create a cohesive whole that shapes meaning - all the 5 poems bring to the table something that comes together to deliver a unified meaning.I feel like that would be confusing asf since you’re bouncing between poems so much
there's no need to 'compare' the poems you just pretend as if the poetic collection is just one novel. so something like 'eliot evokes the modernist disillusion with societal blah blah, as shown through Poem A... [progress from ur first point to ur second] This sentiment is further highlighted in Poem B, where ...'. in my school pretty sure it was the essays that did multiple poems per paragraph (which my teachers recommended) that got the higher marks
