Cool game I made up. Here is the prompt:

Write a well developed essay that anyalzes the tone of this piece. Make sure to talk about the diction.

Travel
by Robert Louis Stevenson

I should like to rise and go
Where the golden apples grow;-
Where below another sky
Parrot islands anchored lie,
And, watched by cockatoos and goats,
Lonely Crusoes building boats;-
Where in sunshine reaching out
Eastern cities, miles about,
Are with mosque and minaret
Among sandy gardens set,
And the rich goods from near and far
Hang for sale in the bazaar;-
Where the Great Wall round China goes,
And on one side the desert blows,
And with the voice and bell and drum,
Cities on the other hum;-
Where are forests hot as fire,
Wide as England, tall as a spire,
Full of apes and cocoa-nuts
And the negro hunters' huts;-
Where the knotty crocodile
Lies and blinks in the Nile,
And the red flamingo flies
Hunting fish before his eyes;-
Where in jungles near and far,
Man-devouring tigers are,
Lying close and giving ear
Lest the hunt be drawing near,
Or a comer-by be seen
Swinging in the palanquin;-
Where among the desert sands
Some deserted city stands,
All its children, sweep and prince,
Grown to manhood ages since,
Not a foot in street or house,
Not a stir of child or mouse,
And when kindly falls the night,
In all the town no spark of light.
There I'll come when I'm a man
With a camel caravan;
Light a fire in the gloom
Of some dusty dining room;
See the pictures on the walls,
Heroes, fights and festivals;
And in a corner find the toys
Of the old Egyptian boys.

This is your chance for glory, guys. Write your best.

Cool game sounds like someone can't be bothered doing their english assignment........

[iamtrentreznor.]

I'm not going to prove that I can write your essay just because you're a moron who slept through that period in 8th grade English.

Please identify the tone as formal informal or neutral
And if its slang, colloquial, or whatever

Interpret the title
And connotations and denotations

Thanks
THis really is just a game
It's not for school

[forklift]

[NIUNIU_SAN]

Dude, that's what Spark Notes and Cliffs Notes are for. I would help, but I suck at analyzing poetry. Now if you want a real challenge, analyze some of T.S. Elliot's poetry. Emily Dickinson is pretty tough too.

No way doood - Wilfred Owen would kick TS Elliot's ass in a fight

I see a spate of 'authors vs Bruce Lee' polls........

[Fatty MacButter]

Essay-less analysis- That guy, Robert Lewis Stevenson, must have been on crack.

[iamtrentreznor.]

I've decided to give you a sample of my abilities.

He wants to stick his penis into an apple lineage.

Where below another sky
Parrot islands anchored lie,
And, watched by cockatoos and goats,

He once dreamed of an island governed by parrots and goats, but total chaos broke out. Freedom and tranquility was once again restored and all was well in the age of the cockatoo.


That's all you got for free. The rest of my analyzation is going to cost you premium bill.
