The poem "On the Amtrak from Boston to New York City" by Sherman Alexie describes a train ride where an elderly white woman points out historical sites to a younger Native American man. The poem shows the narrow perspective of American history from the white woman, only going back to European settlement. It contrasts the white woman's limited understanding with the deeper historical knowledge and connections to the land that the Native American man has from his ancestors that date back thousands of years.

KIM ADDONIZIO
I want a red dress.
I want it flimsy and cheap,
I want it too tight, I want to wear it
until someone tears it off me.
I want it sleeveless and backless,
this dress, so no one has to guess
what’s underneath. I want to walk down
the street past Thrifty’s and the hardware store
with all those keys glittering in the window,
past Mr. and Mrs. Wong selling day-old
donuts in their café, past the Guerra brothers
slinging pigs from the truck and onto the dolly,
hoisting the slick snouts over their shoulders.
I want to walk like I’m the only
woman on earth and I can have my pick.
I want that red dress bad.
I want it to confirm
your worst fears about me,
to show you how little I care about you
or anything except what
I want. When I find it, I’ll pull that garment
from its hanger like I’m choosing a body
to carry me into this world, through
the birth-cries and the love-cries too,
and I’ll wear it like bones, like skin,
it’ll be the goddamned
dress they bury me in.

write in typical standard English prose.
Figurative Meaning
Write in paragraph form the figurative meaning you see in a poem such that you
sum up the central figurative idea of the poem,
support that interpretation of the figurative idea of the poem with quotations from the poem to support your ideas,
use quotation marks and cites the quotation and, if necessary, uses the forward slash between lines of poetry, and
write in standard English prose paragraphs.
Requirements for Draft 2A

The document discusses two biblical parables from the book of Mark: the parable of the growing seed and the parable of the mustard seed. It summarizes that the parables build upon an earlier parable of different soils to explain the human and divine roles in growing God's kingdom. The parables depict the inevitable harvest and abundant growth of God's kingdom. The growing seed parable illustrates the human responsibility of sowing seeds, while God is responsible for the growth, with no mention of divine intervention during the growing process.

How to quote poetry
- 1. How to quote poetry?
- 2. Why quote? To provide evidences to support your answers. To enable you to be accurate and specific.
- 3. Do this… Give short quotes Always explain your quote: - What it shows - What it means - Why it matters
- 4. 3 ways of quoting poetry: If your quote is 2 lines or shorter, you can put it at the end of your sentence and before it write a formal ‘intro’ e.g. In stanza 2 Thrilling evokes the powerful bond between the girl and her home when she uses the personification: ‘Shadows clung / to her clothes at the door’.
- 5. 2) If the quote is not at the end of the sentence, punctuate it with a comma before the quote, and a comma after the quote, instead of a colon. e.g. When Thrilling says, ‘Shadows clung / to her clothes at the door’, she evokes the way that the girl’s home is like a loving person who does not want her to go. This is because the act of clinging has connotations of intense love and unwillingness to let go of something.
- 6. 3) Sometimes it is better to ‘weave’ the quote smoothly into your sentence, without needing to add any punctuation. e.g. The description of how ‘Shadows clung / to her clothes at the door’ vividly evokes the way that the girl’s home is like a loving person who does not want her to go. Note: Make sure your sentence is grammatical and it makes sense!
- 7. Example from My Country and My People In stanza 3, the poet subtly expresses irony by choosing to use quotation marks when describing herself as a ‘daughter of a better age’. Contrary to actually being "better" than Singapore's pre-independence period, the poet was living in a fairly unstable and unsafe time then. The authorities were busy ‘quelling riots’ caused by communists and clashing racial groups. It was thus no consolation that Singapore was actually ‘better’ because independence was since achieved, or that the patriarchal society was more open to the education of girls. After all, its people could hardly enjoy independence or education when the streets were considered unsafe.
- 8. Punctuating Quotes Always open and close the quote with inverted commas (quotation marks). These should be single inverted commas, so that if anyone speaks in the poem you can show this speech with double inverted commas, or when the word means something else. Use a slash (/) to indicate whenever a new line starts in the poem.
- 9. DO NOT… Define poetic terms Ask the examiner a question Quote huge chunks Misquote
