3. Use the feedback given to your paragraph to improve it, and consider the feedback you just gave as you continue writing your essay.

Dickinson 3
Read poems 107, 187, 45, and 498. Poem 498 is long and challenging, and this poem will be the focus of your blog post. Your blog post should use one of the other poems to help figure out poem 498, and it should reference a previous post. I'm looking for half an hour of serious engagement.
107: “The nearest Dream recedes – unrealized”
187: “Except the Heaven had come so near
45: “Did the Harebell loose her girdle”
498: “What mystery pervades a well!”

Blog 2
First, read and annotate the following poems:
# 95: “The Soul selects her own Society”
# 558: “There is a solitude of space”
# 246: “The Battle fought between the Soul”
# 282: “The Soul unto itself”
Take half an hour to analyze one of these poems. Your post should, like the last one, examine what you understand as well as what confuses you so that you can help the class understand the poem.
In this post, you need to also reference another post. Do you agree or disagree? How did that post help you understand the poem or see it in a new way? This means that the first person in each section to post catches a break!
Put the poem number at the top to make it easier for others.
I also encourage you to post your comment as a comment on the post you’re referencing, so that you make a thread.

Dickinson #1
In this first post, simply free-write for 20-30 minutes on one of the following poems you read tonight: 142, 327, 374, 54. Start your post with the number of the poem you've chosen.
Your post should touch on three things: something specific you understand, something specific you do not understand, and an idea about the poem as a whole.
I'm grading these only on the seriousness and effort you apply to them.
Due before the start of class Thursday.
