Choose two poems (any written of Sylvia Plath, Sharon Olds, Ginger Andrews, or Catherine Tufariello) and do the established three-part poetic interpretation (literal meaning, figurative meaning & your opinion) of each.  3. Interpret Theodore Roethke’s “My Papa’s Waltz” – what imagery/message is happening here? 4. What is the message James Merrill makes in “Casual Wear”?  5. Comment on “Rape” and “Child Beater” – what purpose might we guess these poems have for expressing reality?  6. What do you think of “Maybe Dats Your Pwoblem Too”? Can you explain its attempt to express the reality of the “identity” one is born with? What does the use of the image SPIDERMAN represent, do you think?  7.
