In the order they are posted/assigned, upload your individual annotations for the second AND third poetry folder.  Please upload them as one upload (not as separate files).  You can put them as a MS Word file or a PDF.  

These may be annotated by hand or digitally, but they should be on/next to the poems themselves (review assigned annotation lesson in the textbook).   Use a scanner or scanner app to include the textbook annotations.  

While a scanner app is preferred, please remember that you can take high-quality pictures and include them as a PDF or in a MS Word file. 

the second poem

Sylvia PlathMirrorI am silver and exact. I have no preconceptions.Whatever I see, I swallow immediately.Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislikeI am not cruel, only truthful –The eye of a little god, four-cornered.Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so longI think it is a part of my heart. But it flickers.Faces and darkness separate us over and over.Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me.Searching my reaches for what she really is.Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.I see her back, and reflect it faithfullyShe rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.I am important to her. She comes and goes.Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old womanRises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish.
