Is the same this as last time.
In your Unit 6 readings you had the opportunity to read several different Middle Eastern poets from different eras and cultures. In this discussion you will follow the same instructions from your Unit 5 discussion. You must use your Poetic Analysis Handout to do a critical study of three poets from your readings. They must also be from different backgrounds, as in Unit 5. You must also use quotes from the poems to back up your analysis, in text citations and a works cited. In this discussion YOU WILL WRITE A MINIMUM OF 300 WORDS.
