Question:

I desperatly need help! im gonna fail!?

I need major help! I'm doing an analysis on a poem called Night by Louise Bogan and I just do not get this poem at all. Can you please do a line by line analysis for me? I just need what each line means not all the literary devices used. I desperately need this help. Here is how it goes.

heres some extra info its like the background info. You should read this before you analyze poem.

Thanks Again!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

line by line analysis of what? You are desperate but you don't even give enough info to help you. Are you supposed to compare it to something? Decide what it means? Draw parallels to something else you read?

It's not like you have to decipher The Wasteland by TS Eliott for crying out loud...I think you can figure it out if you just apply yourself and stop expecting someone else to do it for you.
