Basic ways to organize and develop a literature paper include using chronological order or order of importance. If no clear logical order can be found, the writer can just list the literary devices to be covered and use clear transitions. Whatever method is chosen, a literature paper should make arguable overall claims about the chosen reading(s) and support the claims with evidence from the reading.
As it pertains specifically to this assignment, certain literary devices for Poetry could be covered for the paper, such as: figurative language, imagery, irony, plot, narration and point of view, personification, metaphor, allusion, setting, symbolism, theme, and tone.
