American Literature

Week 2 Creative Writing Assignment:

This week’s creative assignment is “Who is the speaker?” Pick  one of the three poems (“homage to my hips,” “The Woman Thing,” or “Wild nights – Wild nights!”) and create a 400-word description of the poem’s speaker.  This will require you to use your imagination and develop the character outside of the poem.

Assignment Requirements:

Your submission must:
include a minimum of 400 words, written in paragraph form.
use Times New Roman 12-point font and be double spaced. A title page, running head, and abstract are not required.
be submitted as a Microsoft Word attachment on the submission page (click title above). Assignments not submitted in this way may be returned to you ungraded.
