Prepare by reading the poems, �My Life Had Stood - a Loaded Gun,� by Emily Dickinson, and �The Lonely Wife,� by Amy Lowell, both of which we have read and had the opportunity to discuss.
�
I suggest that you read the poems a number of times, choose one, and consider how, during this test, you will compose a literary analysis drawing from your knowledge of the literary devices/techniques (consider the list above) that writers use to convey theme. For your essay, you will write and support a thesis statement about the theme, and you should surely arrive to class on the day of the test already knowing your thesis.
