Claim Data Warrant Power Paragraph

Step 1 Claim – For a single paragraph, a claim acts as your thesis and topic sentence. For any literature that is being analyzed, always include the title and author in your claim. Since these paragraphs are for poetry, how should we punctuate the title?

Additionally, our analysis is going to focus on how poetry tools are used to create theme. This, too, will be stated in the first sentence (claim).

Furthermore, after theme is discovered, you need to state it in the claim with strong word choice. Remember theme is the author’s observation about life and human nature, and should not be just “anger” or “separation, ” but how does anger or separation affect people.

Sentence 1 1. Title and author 2. Poetry tools 3. Theme

Claim In the poem “Mending wall, ” Robert Frost uses metaphor and personification to create theme of building walls, literal or figurative, that separate people from each other.

Sentences 2 -4 Data (quote line numbers) Lines 1 – 4 Personification Lines 16 and 17 Metaphor Warrant: Explanation With example Warrant: Your analysis (why is it important) and connection to theme

Quote Integration: Embed the quote into a meaningful sentence that supports the claim and provide analysis of the data. Nature is personified in the first four lines showing its resistance to confinement. The illustration shows S# 2 -4 “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, /That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it / And spills the upper boulders in the sun, / And makes gaps even two can pass abreast” (1 - 4). Frost exemplifies, “To each the boulders that have fallen to each. / And some are loaves and some so nearly balls” (16 -17). The desire of the speaker is for the boulders to remain fallen, especially since they do not want to be there themselves. S# 5 -7

Quote Integration: Embed the quote into a meaningful sentence that supports the claim and provide analysis of the data. The illustration shows S# 2 -4 “Something there is that doesn’t love a wall, /That sends the frozen-ground-swell under it / And spills the upper boulders in the sun, / And makes gaps even two can pass abreast” (1 - 4). Frost exemplifies, “To each the boulders that have fallen to each. / And some are loaves and some so nearly balls” (16 -17). S# 5 -7 Additionally, line 24 gives a tone of sarcasm stating “He is all pine and I am apple orchard” (24). This line of metaphor joined with the personification of the trees, show the speakers frustration with the ridiculousness of the situation: “My apple trees will never get across / And eat the cones under his pines, I tell him” (25 – 26). However, the neighbor will not be convinced because of tradition: “He will not go behind his father’s saying” (43).

Write a concluding sentence that ties back to the claim [sentence #8]: Clearly, with personification and metaphor, Frost creates a theme that shows many walls are not necessary, and should be removed. The tone of this poem gives the reader insight into how many people’s ideas or traditions create needless barriers.

Now you are ready to write the entire paragraph. You will need to add your warrants as you write after your data. Your paragraph may be more than 8 sentences, but not less.
