Write a First Response to The Man He Killed.
Use the following writing prompts:
Which aspect of the work affected you most? Why? What is the significance of the poem?
Or free-write your own response.
Be sure to provide specific textual details and quotes from the poem to justify and/or explain your response.  Remember, a first response is not a summary -- use 2-3 quotes from the poem and discuss how it affected you.

Guidelines for first response papers are available here:

If you have any questions, send me an e-mail at english102wcc@gmail.com, and allow up to 24 hours for a response (although I will most likely get back to you much sooner than that).
