Answer:

The short story "Was It a Dream" deals with the theme of illusion against reality. When the narrator spems the night at the cementary, he sees how the dead rise from their tombs to changed the false and hypocritical engraving on their stones. The narrator's lover, whose stone said ‘She loved, was loved, and died,’ changed it for: ‘Having gone out one day, in order to deceive her lover, she caught cold in the rain and died.’”

This shows how people show themselves differently than they really are. And, at the same time, people tend to glorify or even sanctify others, specially after they died, and present to society as something they are or were not.

say you love someone dearly, and you assume the person loves you, but, you find he\she was just playing you and actually loved another. he\she could've been just playing you for your wealth or other things you might have had, so that is when a character would say (possible the following day after sleeping) "was it a dream?" 


a story could possible be having a incredible adventure. after the character awakes he\she will most likely be thinking to her\him self "was it a dream?!"

I. Intro 

<span>General statement- Say something like "there are several types of forms of poetry." However, a broad statement about the topic will do. </span>
<span>Narrowed down statement- "Two of these forms are narrative and lyric forms." </span>
<span>Thesis- "These forms are very different. Lyric form is a short poem in which a single speaker presents a state of mind or an emotional state. However, narrative poetry gives a verbal representation, in verse, of a sequence of connected events." </span>

<span>A possible intro for this essay could be... </span>

<span>There are several types of forms of poetry. Two of these forms are narrative and lyric forms. These forms are very different. Lyric form is a short poem in which a single speaker presents a state of mind or an emotional state. However, narrative poetry gives a verbal representation, in verse, of a sequence of connected events. </span>

<span>Put that down and you won't get a zero. Now, idk anything else about the topic so I really can't help you with the bodies. However, if you want an outline... </span>

<span>P1 - narrative poem... you could discuss how it goes in order and describes events that might have happened. Maybe one wants to write about something significant in their life in this form. Idk. </span>

<span>Why go to the library? You got this site here... http://www.poetrysoup.com/poems_poets/poem_detail.aspx?ID=580126 </span>

<span>Think I would get off my rear end to go to the library? This is how I did them in English class. I did this once on a paper and got a 98. </span>

<span>P2 - lyric - Discuss how it lets the poet express how he or she feels about something... in fact that would be a possible use for it. </span>

<span>http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-lyric-poetry.html </span>

<span>^There is your example. Again, you don't need the library. </span>

<span>Here is how you would write a conclusion... </span>

<span>Step 1) Write: "To sum it up, lyric and narrative are two different forms of poetry writing. Each serves a wonderful purpose." </span>

<span>Step 2) Summarize the main points in your body paragraphs in a sentence or two. One sentence for each form. You can do this with the info I gave you though, it's straight regurgitation. </span>

<span>Step 3) Write a clincher... idk something like "These forms of poetry have been the basis for many amazing poems." However, any "last thought" statement will do. </span>
