Essay Instructions: Must write an interpretive commentary with a thesis on the poem "The Voice" by Thomas Hardy of 1250-1500 words (5 pages). You must include as an integral part of the argument a detailed explanation of at least a 4-6 line passage. Do not work through the poem beginning to end. Find some other way to organize a commentary that accounts for important details throughout the poem by projecting a strong thesis and argument. Within your interpretation, try to account for some aspect of form (stanza, verse line, rhythm, rhyme, figurative language, sentence structure, punctuation).

Reprint the quotes exactly as they appear on the page, or with quotation marks and slash marks to indicate where the lines end.

Please make sure you:
- identify the speaker''s situation and attitudes, including how they change (if they do).
-describe and interpret significant features of the poem''s sound or other significant aspects of its language (sentence structure, diction, punctuation, and the like).
-identify and interpret vivid details, ones that can make the poem''s interest and meaning clearer to someone else.

The paper must have a clearly and tactfully articulated thesis, must be vividly written, and draw a pecific conclusion that is notjust a restatement of the thesis but that may include a more specifically framed and developed statement of that thesis.
