Persona Poem Part 1: Research

 

In this assignment, you will take on the voice of someone other than yourself: someone fictional (from a novel, fairy-tale, myth, etc.) or someone historical. Whomever you choose, you must first study them. And so, this part of the assignment will not involve writing a poem, but simply gathering information. Fill out the chart and answer the questions that follow.

 

 

  1. You should be able to answer these questions by implying, possibly through images, rather than explicitly stating. Fill out the following chart as best you can.

  1. What kind of language might this person use? (Think: tone, class, mental state, intelligence, vocabulary.)
