For this answer you should provide two very specific pieces of evidence in the form of quotations. Be specific in your discussion and analysis of the text. When using quotation, provide line numbers for poetry and volume/chapters for novels, page numbers for short story.
Your evidence should come from different places in the text to show that you read the whole thing and to demonstrate that your argument applies to the whole text and not just one small part.
You should follow your evidence with explanation that clearly shows why that evidence proves your point.
Question
1. Compare the strategies that Blake and Hood use to describe the plights of the poor and enslaved. Consider their word choice, images, point of views used in the poem, rhyme scheme, rhythm, logical argument, emotional arguments, etc. After summarizing the different strategies, choose one single moment from a poem that most stuck with you and discuss why you found it so compelling (and therefore effective).
Required reading
