Question:
From the following instructions, what [i]exactly[/i] are you being asked to write?
[i]Carefully read the following excerpt from Ogden Nash's grocery list and two of his poems. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze some of the ways in which Ogden Nash's eating habits may affect his poetry. You might consider such devices as diction, rhetoric, imagery, and calories.[/i]
Answer:
You are supposed to write an analytical essay relating the grocery list to the poems. In particular, you are supposed to support the thesis that Ogden Nash's eating habits affect his poetry in some way. Logically, you are also expected to explain what that way is, and how the eating habits may affect it. You are [i]encouraged[/i] to examine the diction, rhetoric, imagery, and calories involved, but you are not required to do so.
