Clear Language and Simple Images
Analyze how clear language and simple images are used to convey the challenges, triumphs, hope, and disappointments of everyday American life. For example, you could look at the couple’s argument in “Two in August” as the husband steps outside into the night air after an argument with his wife. What does he hear? What is Ransom trying to say here? Whatever poem you choose, be sure and quote from the text. Check for grammar and spelling.
