Prose is a type of written work that does not follow a formal structure like poetry. It uses ordinary language structured in paragraphs rather than lines and stanzas. Prose differs from poetry in that it does not rely on devices like rhythm, rhyme, or meter and instead focuses on expressing facts or ideas. A good piece of prose is accurate, brief, and clear while maintaining a logical structure with a proper beginning and ending, developed through paragraphs rather than abrupt changes in thought. It should also be neatly presented in good handwriting.

Literature can be categorized into two main classifications based on the structure of language.
These two categories are known as prose and poetry. Prose is the language in its original and natural form, i.e., the language that is found in newspapers, textbooks, novels.
Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language to evoke meaning.
The main difference between prose and poetry is that prose is written naturally whereas poetry is written in a metrical structure.
Prose is a major form of literature; both fiction and nonfiction are included in prose. Novels, novellas, short stories, biographies, autobiographies, memoirs, essays, travel books, academic essays, thesauruses, textbooks, etc. are all written in prose.
The language is grammatical in nature and consists of a natural flow of speech, instead of metrical structure. It is composed of full grammatical sentences, and these sentences are then grouped in paragraphs. The language used in nonfiction such as newspaper, textbooks, travel books, etc. are devoid of figures of speech, and other decorations and ideas are expressed in a direct and straightforward manner. The spoken language can also be classified as prose.
Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language to evoke meaning. Factors such as rhyme, rhythm, metric syllables, etc. are taken into account to create poetry. Poetry is normally used to express something in an artistic and aesthetic way.
However, the language of poetry is not as natural or free as prose.
Poetic language tends to be more decorative and creative than the language used in prose; attention is especially paid to sound and rhythm.
A poem is composed of lines; a line can be very long or as short as one word. A stanza is made up of several stanzas.
Poems can be classified into different types depending on the structure of the stanzas. Free verse, blank verse, cinquain, diamante poems are some examples of these structures.
As mentioned above, poets use a limited number of words to express their ideas in poetry. This is why one line can be as short as one word. Sometimes it is difficult to understand the meaning of the poem by reading it only once or twice. An in-depth reading and analysis may be required to decipher the complete meaning.

You do
NOT
need to address all of the following questions.
What does the title contribute to the reader's understanding of the poem?
Who is the speaker? Where is the speaker when the poem is happening?

Poetry Explication
World Literature Poetry Explication Assignment
Due: 12/02/16 (end-of-day)
The Assignment:
Write a four-page explication of two short poems from our assigned texts in Week 5 (research optional). Choose two poems that you think will work well together, but offer contrast on some levels (either in form or in content). Poems covered deeply in class discussion are not eligible for this assignment. Pick poems we did not cover in depth.
About Explication:
Explication is the unraveling of a poem (or story or play), analyzing the poem word-by-word, line-by-line, or stanza-by-stanza. In unfolding the poem, address any literary devices you see: simile and metaphor, allusion, rhyme, rhythm, repetition, onomatopoeia, form, and other techniques (see Poetry.org). How do these all contribute to the overall message of the poem?
An explication is a way for you to slow down and focus on the detail. Often, a poem that you find confusing will make sense once you take some time to examine it piece by piece.
Cite all sources according to MLA and include a Works Cited page.
Introduction: Include title (in quotation marks), author, dates, brief background of the author if necessary and relevant, a brief summary of the plot (situation), or literal level of the poem, and your thesis, which is an interpretation (argument) of the meaning you see.
Body Paragraphs: Systematically go through the poem showing the techniques stated in your thesis and showing how they relate to the poet’s argument. Brief quotes should be incorporated into your sentences to clarify your point. Do not, under any circumstance, quote the entire poem within the paper. If you quote three or fewer lines, an inline quote, you should introduce the quote with a signal phrase, and then quote the section of the poem, indicating line breaks with a “/” and stanza breaks with a “//”.
Author writes, “quoted line/quoted next line” (871).
To quote more than three lines, use a block quote. In either case, follow the quote with a parenthetical reference of the line number(s). And then, make sure that you follow the quote with a close analysis/unpacking of the meaning. If you quote there must be a reason, and it is your job to “unpack” what is inside the quote—don’t expect readers to see your points only based on the quote.
Conclusion: Here you pull the paper together and reaffirm your thesis. You could discuss how the poem relates to real life and/or use this paragraph to disagree with the poet’s argument if you wish. Avoid, “I think…” or “I feel…” language. Be specific with word choice and avoid vague words like unique, interesting, amazing, etc.
Style: Keep your sentences focused on the poem itself. Include transitions where appropriate to avoid jumping quickly from one topic to the next.
Additional Style Tips: While the explication tends to be a chronological progression, consider the organization of the paper. How can you group your observations? This, as any other formal paper, shoul.

Tips for Writing a Poetry Analysis Essay A Master’s Guide.pptxTutors India
Discover the secrets to crafting powerful poetry analysis essays. Dive into poetic nuances, explore literary elements, and sharpen your analytical prowess with expert guidance.
Review the title page for errors and missing elements.In the r.docxashane2
Review the title page for errors and missing elements.
In the running head, give a short version of the title (not the whole thing), and give the page number.
Do not use bold font.
Double space.
For the title of the poem mentioned in the essay, use quotation marks.
The introduction should have an opening sentence that engages the reader and introduces the general topic.
The last sentence of the introduction should be your thesis statement (or main point) for writing the essay. The thesis statement is your opinion about some literary element in the poem (such as imagery, theme, or symbolism) and why the author used it or what the author accomplished with it. The thesis cannot be a fact because it is a statement of opinion.
Expand the essay to five paragraphs. Support the main point with short quotations and examples as evidence. Analyze the poem by looking deeply at words and phrases. Do not generalize and talk about people and society; talk about the poem's language.
You must give in-text citations for every quotation. Give the author, date, and line number in parentheses.
Left align the reference. Use a hanging indent. Fix errors in the end reference.
2. You immediately had me hooked with your introduction speaking about secrecy of the human life. I really enjoyed when you tied the introduction to the modern world and your poem. The more connections throughout the poem the better. I like the direction of your poem and your explanation of symbolism. I would remember the APA citations and cite the quotations from the poem.
3. You chose a good poem! I do think your introduction needs to be stronger. I would have liked to see a more eye opening introduction as I didn't really know the meaning of the poem based off the title alone. I was looking forward to an interesting explanation that would grab my attention. Also be careful with grammar and spelling. Use spell check as often as needed. The title needs to be in title case throughout the essay, making sure to include quotations around the title

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

3. After going through this unit you will be able
to:
Explain the literary writing prose
Differentiate between prose and poetry
Use code switching understand short story
Appreciate standard English prose
OBJECTIVES
4. The word “prose” comes from the Latin word “prosa”, meaning
“straightforward”.
Prose is a type of literature that does not follow any particular
formal structure and is considered as the ordinary form of
spoken or written language.
Prose is the type of writing that is usually used or adopted for
the description of facts or the discussion of ideas.
Prose is written without a formal pattern of verse; rhyme or
meter often found in poetry and is usually grouped into
paragraphs.
Although some works of prose contain traces of poetic devices
such as meter, rhyme etc. but that kind of a conscious blend of
poetic devices and ordinary language is known as “prose poetry”.
WHAT IS PROSE?
5. PROSE VS POETRY
Prose Poetry
Prose is written without a formal
pattern of verse, rhyme or meter.
Poetry on the other hand, aims to convey ideas
and emotional experiences through the use of
meter, rhyme, imagery in a carefully
constructed metrical structure based on
rhythmic patterns.
Prose is structured into sentences
and paragraphs.
Lines and stanzas tend to be associated with
poetry.
Prose is the language of everyday
speech. It is a regular kind of
writing which employs more
words to express ideas, facts, and
information in great detail.
Poetry is more of an art form which tends to
express the thoughts and images in fewer
words.
Prose writing most often follows
standard rules in grammar,
punctuation, capitalisation, and
sentence structure.
Poetry usually follows a set pattern, rhyme
scheme and meter. It is an art form in which
human language is used for its aesthetic
qualities. Poetry often doesn't follow rules for
expressive reasons, and every word,
punctuation mark, etc. is carefully chosen to
say the most using the least words.
6.
7.
8. UNDERSTANDING GENRE OF PROSE IN
LITERATURE
Words may be used in a metaphorical sense.
Irony may be used.
Symbols may be used.
The narrative may not be the same as the
author.
The narrative may not be logical or may not be
in sequence.
CODE SWITCHING
mixing of two languages
9. The tense used should be correct
The use of preposition should be correct
The use of idiom should be correct
The word used should be apt
Brevity
It is more difficult to be brief and concise than write
at length. A compressed but worded passage would
be beautiful as well as expressive let us look at this
Clarity
A good piece of prose should make the meaning
clear and not add to confusion
ACCURACY
10. Abruptly plunging into the topic and leaving it as
abruptly does not make it a good piece. There should
be proper sequencing and logical development of
thought. Each idea has to be put into a separate
paragraph. Good handwriting beautifies a
composition, makes it worth reading and enhances
its charm. Hence,it should be given due attention as
well.
To sum up, a literary prose will be written poorly if
there is a lack of relevant material, poverty of
thought, and scarcity of proper arrangement of
ideas. Composition can improve if these defects are
avoided.
A GOOD PIECE OF COMPOSITION SHOULD
HAVE PROPER BEGINNING AND PROPER
ENDING
11. It is accurate using appropriate and
correct words.
It is brief.
It is clear.
It begins and ends properly.
It is logical.
It is written in good hand writing.
