You are to write a literary analysis of Elena by Pat Mora. Explicate the poem. Use the explication guidelines handout and the poetry terms we have discussed to provide a close reading of the poem. Discuss the meaning of the poem as well as the elements at work. You may organize by stanza or by device/element. This should be very in-depth.
You are expected to present an analysis of the text. Thus, you should have an overarching claim or argument about the text which you will present in your thesis statement and prove through evidence from the text itself. Support your claim in a well-organized, focused essay. You may use 3-5 secondary sources. A minimum of 3 scholarly sources is required. Be sure your claim is your own, from your understanding of the text, and not from a source.
