Directions: In three paragraphs, write a comparative analysis of which poem does a better job of including

the elements of Romanticism, "The Thorn" or "Casabianca"? Remember, I am not assessing if you get the
"right" poem. I am assessing how you identify and analyze the elements of Romanticism to argue and
defend your choice. Make sure you quote from both poems and include the elements of Romanticism that
you are focusing on. Your thesis is your position or which poem does it better.
Structure: First para: Introduce Romanticism and the poems. In the last statement include your thesis
statement (which poem does it better)
Second para: Analyze the language in the poems and argue the Romantic elements that the
poems display
Third para: Defend the poem of your choice and why. Ex: "The Thorn by William Wordsworth
demonstrates the elements of Romanticism
more effectively by..."
Use this as a guide:
Elements of Romanticism:
Idealism over Realism (or Dreams over Reality)
