Richard Corey by Edwin Arlington Robinson

This poem is a good example of modernism. This story is about a man named Richard Corey. He was a very rich man. All of the poor people wanted to be in his place. Every day he walked by he had a smile on his face, and spoke politely. But the obviously didn't know him very well. They just knew what they saw. Richard Corey had to be a very depressed man, because one day he went home and killed himself. This is a very good example of modernism.

  1. It looks as though you are off to a good start on this poetry, but make sure that you are identifying the theme in Modernism each is addressing. You have good ideas, but they are missing this important element.
