national government. They were persuaded that there was a need for a bill of
rights to curtail such power. The instructor will assign you to a team that
will take an assigned side in what was a raucous debate.
Establish your team’s position as Federalist or anti-Federalist

and startling imagery that come through compressed statements. Select one

form and daring subject matter. Why do you find this particular poem so
interesting?
ENG 350 Week 8 Assignment Response Paper 6 Literary Worth Essay
Details:
Develop three criteria for identifying literary worth. For this
assignment, you will presume to make decisions about what determinations should
be used to decide who will be read in the classrooms of college English
students. You might develop your ideas for inclusion around considerations of
who the literature would represent. Or maybe you will decide that established
literary tradition should be part of your formula for deciding who is “in” and
who is to be left out.
Apply your three criteria to the poetry of Emily
Dickinson. In your response, discuss how her poetry is characteristic of
the literary break found in traditional 19th century
poetry. Note some of the similarities and differences between Dickinson’s
and Whitman’s poetic style.
In an essay (750-1,000 words), define your criteria and evaluate
Dickinson’s poetry.
