Essay Prompt #2

In an essay based on a close-reading of “The Ghetto” by Lola Ridge, consider the significance of section V. of the poem, which opens “As I sit in my little fifth floor room.” In particular, you might want to consider the function/role of the old woman in this section, and what purpose her presence serves in the larger work.

While your argument should address this section at length, your essay should also expand upon its meaning in relation to the poem as a whole.
