Evening Hawk -__-
If I had the oppurtunity to redo the timed write for “Evening Hawk” the first thing I would do is re-read the poem so I could pick up on all the things I missed the first time. Intensely looking over the poem in class definetely opened my eyes to new aspects and understanding of the poem, and I would include them in my timed write. Something I really need to work on is relating my commentary to the theme more. My essay relies on paraphrase and I didn’t go as analytically in depth as I should have to score better than a 5. I think the conrete details I used were relevant, but I needed to emphasize more on “end of time” theme. When the promt was handed out, I didn’t understand the poem at all, so I pretty much just tried to sell it as best as I could. Having a chance to redo this would be a productive experience, but it would be agonizing, horrible, excruciating, and make me suffer to the max times 1 million + the infinite limit as X approaches negative infinity.
