i need help with this paper it is due wednesday and i can pay no more then 20. if you can do please let me know. also please read all info because this is all the info that i have nothing more. no plagiarism two parts second part must be 600 words or more.

The Creative Assignment is in two parts:

(1)A “pastiche,” or a stylistic imitation of another text. You will choose a work by one of the poets we are reading, and then identify one or more elements of the work to transform in some way; write your own poem, modelled after the original text. Your imitation, or pastiche, need not be longer than a page or two. Also, notice that in a sense you will “copy” the original, but since you are changing content and overall form, it is not at all “plagiarism.” You will have broad creative latitude in the design and direction of your pastiche.

(2) I will not directly grade the Pastiche (imitation) itself (though it must be “sincerely attempted”). Instead, I will grade the accompanying Defense: a description of the process you followed, and of the outcome. Use these bullet points in developing your Defense (perhaps one paragraph per bullet point):

·A detailed explanation of your choice for the primary text you have imitated

·A definition of the particular elements you tried to imitate

·A description of the creative process you followed

·An account of the challenges you encountered, and how you dealt with them

·Your own opinion of the resulting imitation

·A summary of the resulting insights regarding the primary work, and creative effort in

general

·Put a page break after your Pastiche, then start the Defense on a new page. Put both in the same file. The Defense should be around 600 words, minimum.

Take a look at the sample Pastiche & Defense assignments I have provided. They are on the Lectures and Announcements forum.

Essentially, this is an exercise in analysis but from a different angle. You need to identify specific formal and thematic characteristics of a text. But then, you will attempt to transfer a fewof them to a text of your own creation.

Take a look at how Raleigh responds to Marlowe –see “A Passionate Shepherd to His Love”and “The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd.

 Then, look at a poem like “Those Winter Sundays” by Robert Hayden. Among many other characteristics, it presents a male speaker who tells of a father, somewhat strict and disciplined, with whom  the speaker, now probably an adult and the father perhaps dead, had a troubled, uncommunicative relationship. You can create a poem that will also remember back to a recurring, that is, a habitual, experience with your father or mother, or a grandparent, or some other authority figure (you can vary the basic elements); you will perhaps try as well to capture the split consciousness: the earlier lack of appreciation, the present tone of regret; and you might also carry over some of the other, more formal devices: the use of sounds to capture some psychological aspect of the person or situation (notice the “k” sounds in the Hayden poem), or the concluding question (“What did I know, what did I know?”) that also includes some key word of double significance (“office,” that is partly religious and partly about the disciplined,dutifu l matters the son remembers of his father. Everything else in your poem will be your own,although you might perhaps borrow elements from yet another poem or story. But there is a great deal of flexibility (that is, creativity and responsibility) in the way you choose what elements to imitate. You could imitate, or even copy verbatim, a crucial (or concluding, or initiating) line or two from a text, but change almost everything else. From Hayden’s poem, you might borrow only the memory of a recurring domestic experience, and perhaps the regretful (orother emotional) rhetorical question at the end. But your speaker might be the father, or the wife,or an outside observe–that’s up to you. We don’t even need to see overt connections between your text and the primary, imitated text–although I expect you to let me know in your defense

what text you worked from. Many writers start by imitating a beloved (or a challenging, or infuriating) primary text, and end up with something no longer recognizable as a pastiche at all. All writers would most likely trace at least some aspects of their writing, and many of their works, to something they read and were struck by (positively as well as negatively). If you work with a story, most likely your piece will be fragmentary, or at least a short- short story. You might focus on a passage demonstrated dialogue, character description, climactic confliction, interior monologue, setting of scene, or something else specific. But again, the choice is yours.The grade will be based on how well your write, and on how fully and insightfully you present the description of your process in the Defense. You should submit the finished Creative Assignment as one file electronically via the “Assignments” tool on the Eagle Online web site. No late submissions will be accepted unless you communicate wi th me and receive approval. I recommend saving your work regularly as you work on the computer; print out a hard copy for yourself when you submit the project to me

Defense   
 I have imitated a poem by James Wright called “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s
Farm in Pine Island, Minnesota.”  I chose this poem because of the ending.  This man is relaxing
in a hammock looking at all of nature around him and the last line of the poem is, “I have wasted
my life.”  This poem reminded me of my trip to San Antonio where I just sat at the pool all day
lounging and watching everything around me.  At the end of the night I have pondered so much
about like I had realized I needed to turn my life around the very same way James Wright wrote a
poem about.  
 In my poem I chose to imitate the style of writing Wright used.  The first twelve lines of
the poem describe beautiful scenery and the last line is just thrown in there about what he had
been thinking about the whole time he was watching the scenery.   The poem has a very
melancholy tone.  In line three Wright used a simile, so I did too.  I described how the spider was
“blowing like a stray leaf in the wind.”  Wright’s poem also did not rhyme.  It was more
descriptive and straightforward. Before almost every noun there was a descriptive adjective in
Wright’s poem.  The last two words of the first four lines in “Lying in a Hammock” were
adjective then noun.  I also chose to do the same in my imitation.  I used adjectives like dark, EXAMPLE:

Pastiche  
Hanging Out at the Pool  in San Antonio, Texas 
To the side of me I see a dark spider,  Crawling up his masterful web,  Blowing like a stray leaf in the brief wind. Over the walkway beside the bronze casita; The children play          5 Into the sunset of dusk. To my left,  In a pool chair just to the side of me,  My boyfriend  Relaxing in the gentle breeze,         10 I relax my chair, as darkness comes upon us, A few raindrops hit the umbrella,  I have not lived my life right.
 

masterful, stray, bronze, and brief.   
 The creative process I followed was first finding a poem or short story that I enjoyed. 
When I came across Wright’s poem it really got my imagination going.  I was thinking about the
last time I have relaxed so much with nothing to do but ponder life.  I think jotted down things I
saw while I was laying by the pool because Wright’s poem is descriptive of the scenery around
him.  After jotting down some descriptive scenery, I used Wright’s poem as a guideline and put
my own together.  My imitation was the same number of lines as Wright’s poem also.  Because I
noticed the simile in line three I made my own simile.  The last line is probably the most
important to thins poem and I had to make sure it would have the same impact as the original
poem.  Because I have been pondering life lately and if I have been doing the right thing, the
ending to my poem left with the thought that I haven’t been living my life right.  
 One of the challenges I encountered when writing my imitation was the amount of
adjectives Wright used.  A few examples are “bronze butterfly, black trunk, green shadow, empty
house, two pines.” Basically before all of my nouns I had to add an adjective to my poem.  Also
because Wright used a simile in line three I had the challenge of coming up with a simile in the
same place.  The title was easy to imitate because it was what he was doing and then where.  So I
was lying by the pool in San Antonio, Texas, just like he was lying in a hammock in Pine Island,
Minnesota.  
 My imitation of “Lying in a Hammock at William Duffy’s Farm in Pine Island,
Minnesota” was effective.  By using the style Wright used and the surprise of the last line, my
poem was melancholy and life changing too.  I am not too much of a creative person.  I normally
am factual and to the point.  I’d rather write scientifically, but after writing this poem by imitating
another one I feel that I can write creatively and feel that my poem was pretty creative.    

Definition

Pastiche Definition

Pastiche is a literary piece that imitates another famous literary work of another writer. Unlike parody, its purpose is not to mock but to honor the literary piece it imitates.

This literary device is generally employed to imitate a piece of literary work light-heartedly but in a respectful manner. The term pastiche also applies to a literary work that is a wide mixture of items such as themes, concepts and characters imitated from different literary works. For instance, many of the pastiche examples are in the form of detective novels that are written in fashion of the original stories of “Sherlock Holmes”. It features either “Sherlock Holmes” or a main character like him.

 Pastiche Examples in Literature

Example #1

“Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead” is a tragicomedy written by Tom Stoppard. It is one of the best examples of pastiche. It develops upon two minor characters: “Rosencrantz” and “Guildenstern.” These characters appear for a brief moment in Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”. The title is taken from Hamlet’s Act 5, Scene 3 when a an ambassador from England announces, “Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead.” The two characters, standing behind the curtains, express their confusion on the vents of the main play “Hamlet” enacted of the stage.
