missmccalister — 2016-09-17 03:18:39 UTC

Alliteration is one of my favorite types of figurative language because it is so catching and it's fun to try to say. A good example of alliteration is
"She sells seashells by the seashore". This is aperfect example of alliteration because it is child hood favorite of mine and it also shows that the first letter of the first word set the pattern for the words behind it. Another example of alliteration is "A big black bug bit a big black dog and the big black dog bled blood." This is a good example because it also has a very good repetitive consonant that will set the mood for the rest of the sentence.

Hitting hard like
Rockets rushing in a race to the glass.
Rattling rain, rattling the window panes.
The droplets dance daintily
Until they cleverly connect in
A pool of promise for a rainbow.

Syntax and Diction are commonly related. Syntax is the study of the patterns of formation of sentences and phrases from words and diction is style of speaking or writing as dependent upon choice of words. Syntax is in the poem, " spring is in the brother of winter." For Example it says, "packs of savaged dogs , roaming the streets of truth ,spring is the pleasant." That's syntax because it has certain pattern within those lines. Diction is in the poem, " Wise words from snoopy." It says, " In other words live in the in between for this is where the pulp diction of your soul, resides.." This example here is showing diction clearly. Basically being dependent on its choice of words.

Is this your response for Week 4 Syntax and Diction or for Week 5 Alliteration? Let me know.

1st Hour, McCalister, April, Personification, Week #1

missmccalister — 2016-09-17 03:18:39 UTC

The children's book "The Giving Tree" gives several excellent examples of personification. For example, the book begins with, "Once there was a giving tree who loved a little boy." The description of the boy "loving" the tree is an example of the author giving the tree human qualities. Another example of personification is found when the tree begins to talk. ""I have no money," said the tree, "Just apples, twigs and leaves." By giving the tree the ability to talk, the author is bestowing human qualities on the tree.

I have archived everything prior to Week 5. Please refer to the directions for the correct heading format. Also, please remember your post should be a paragraph with two examples and explanations of each. Simply copying the poem or definition of the literary term will not do. Review your post and make sure it adheres to the assignment format.

Another example from this poem is in these lines, " Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten / He says the early petal-fall is past /When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers /" . The words "petal-fall" are the kenning example, these words referred to the autumn/fall season. That's why I used the poem, "The Oven Bird" for kenning examples.

In the poem "Kennings about Teenagers" by an unknown author has numerous examples of kennings. Some example are : "I-Pod-lovers" , "Risk takers", and "Thumb wizards" These kennings are basically describing teenagers dealing with electronics and a stereotype of the teens .

May I for my own self song’s truth reckon,
Journey’s jargon, how I in harsh days
Hardship endured oft.
Bitter breast-cares have I abided,
Known on my keel many a care’s hold,
And dire sea-surge, and there I oft spent.

That he on dry land loveliest liveth,
List how I, care-wretched, on ice-cold sea,
Deprived of my kinsmen;
Over the whale’s acre, would wander wide
Eager and ready, the crying lone-flyer,
Whets for the whale-path the heart irresistibly.

dralynwells — 2016-09-22 04:17:31 UTC

John Donne’s poem “Community” is a good example of parallelism

“Good we must love, and must hate ill,
For ill is ill, and good good still;
But there are things indifferent,
Which we may neither hate, nor love,
But one, and then another prove,
As we shall find our fancy bent.”

Contrasting ideas of “good” and “ill”, “love” and “hate” are placed together in parallel structures to emphasize the fact that we love good because it is always good and we hate bad because it is always bad

4th, Goff, Emily, Parallelism, week 5

2016-09-22 16:03:05 UTC

In Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Annabel Lee" there are a few examples of parallelism. One of them is when he uses "we loved with a love that was more than love" which is then paralleled by "with a love that the winged seraphs of Heaven….". The parallelism creates a deeper meaning. Another example is in the book The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien "To generalize about war is like generalizing about peace. Almost everything is true. Almost nothing is true." in this quote from the book, he compares war and peace. These are both great examples of parallelism.

2016-09-22 19:04:04 UTC

In the poem "A Tale of Two Cities", there are many examples of parallelism. One example of parallelism is "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.t was the age of foolishness," The opening of A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens contains parallelism both in the anaphoric repetition of “it was” and the antithetical statements of “best of times” versus “worst of times,” “age of wisdom” versus “age of foolishness". Another example of parallelism is in Martin Luther King " I Have A Dream Speech". For example he states, "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed".As each paragraph begins with the evocative phrase “I have a dream,” and is followed by a noun phrase and the verb “will.” The shared grammatical structure from phrase to phrase gives this speech a rhythm that makes it more powerful, inspiring, and memorable.

So the earth-stepper spoke, mindful of hardships,
Of fierce slaughter, the fall of kin:
Oft must I, alone, the hour before dawn
lament my care. Among the living
none now remains to whom I dare
my inmost thought clearly reveal.
I know it for the truth: it is in a warrior
noble strength to bind fast his spirit.
guard his wealth-chamber, think what he will.

Paralelism is used in Jesse Jackson’s 1984 DNC Address speech. "I've tried to offer leadership to the Democratic Party and the Nation. If, in my high moments, I have done some good, offered some service, shed some light, healed some wounds, rekindled some hope, or stirred someone from apathy and indifference, or in any way along the way helped somebody, then this campaign has not been in vain." He used very similar grammatical structure to show the importance of what he is saying.

In poem Beowulf author uses several number of kennings. For example in this stanza he uses famous kenning "the whale-roads" what means ocean:
There was Shield Sheafson, scourge of many tribes,
A wrecker of mead-benches, rampaging among foes.
This terror of the hall-troops had come far.
A foundling to start with, he would flourish later on
As his powers waxed and his worth was proved.
In the end each clan on the outlying coasts
Beyond the whale-road had to yield to him
And begin to pay tribute. That was one good king.

Apt aim aids art
Play primes pure part
Bloom brisk bright bard
Heart heaps health hard
Calm choice charms cheer
Feel Faith freeze fear
Dream deep dear dance
Trust tastes true trance
Each etch earns ear
Niche nude noise near
Force feed fine feast
Brine big bleak beast
Glimpse grand gain grip
Tears thrill tough trip
Hurts hurl huge hints
Toil throws true tints

In The Seafarer, Ezra Pound says "List how I, care-wretched, on ice-cold sea,
Deprived of my kinsmen;
Over the whale’s acre, would wander wide
Eager and ready, the crying lone-flyer,
Whets for the whale-path the heart irresistibly." The bold words describe the sea, in which she is using Kenning to describe its features.

Alliteration is a literacy device where two or more words in a phrase or line of poetry share the same beginning sound. In the poem "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner” alliteration is used.
“The fair breeze blew, the white foam flew,
The furrow followed free;
We were the first that ever burst
Into that silent sea.”

2016-09-23 18:31:59 UTC

A literary piece may be considered as Kenning if it used to describe an object in detail and the two parts of a compound word represent a relationship between subjects and objects that creates associations in an abstract. In the poem "The Seafarer" by Ezra Pound examples of kenning can be found. Several examples can be found in,
"Bitter breast-cares have I abided,
Over the whale’s acre, would wander wide
Eager and ready, the crying lone-flyer,
Whets for the whale-path the heart irresistibly."
This passage shows how several kennings can refer to the same thing. “Whale-path”, “whale-road” and “whale’s acre” referred to the ocean. “Breast-hoard” refers to the heart because the heart is the place in the breast where a person hoard his or her emotions.

Next, write a sentence that explains the quote. Repeat these two sentences with another quote. Please make sure your response are written in COMPLETE, THOROUGH, SOPHISTICATED paragraphs. Just two or three sentences will NOT work. You cannot simply copy from a website and expect to get full credit. If you are not writing sufficient paragraphs you will start seeing your grade suffer. After this post any responses which do not meet my expectations will receive half-credit.

4th Emmanuel Bass Week 5. Parallelism

2016-09-25 03:25:28 UTC

This method adds balance and rhythm to sentences giving ideas a smoother flow and thus can be persuasive because of the repetition it employs. For example, “Alice ran into the room, into the garden, and into our hearts.” We see the repetition of a phrase that not only gives the sentence a balance but rhythm and flow as well. This repetition can also occur in similar structured clauses e.g. “Whenever you need me, wherever you need me, I will be there for you.”
-Like father, like son.

-The escaped prisoner was wanted dead or alive.

-Easy come, easy go.

-Whether in class, at work or at home, Shasta was always busy.

-Flying is fast, comfortable, and safe.

"There is a singer everyone has heard,
Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-woodbird,
Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again.
He says that leaves are old and that for flowers
Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten.
He says the early petal-fall is past
When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
On sunny days a moment overcast….."

2016-09-28 16:27:33 UTC

A Kenning is derived from Norse and Anglo-Saxon poetry. It is a stylistic device and can be defined as a two-word phrase that describes an object through metaphors. The following example is from the poem The Seafarer by Ezra Pound.
May I for my own self song’s truth reckon,
Journey’s jargon, how I in harsh days
Hardship endured oft.
Bitter breast-cares have I abided,
Known on my keel many a care’s hold,
And dire sea-surge, and there I oft spent.
That he on dry land loveliest liveth,

List how I, care-wretched, on ice-cold sea,
Deprived of my kinsmen;
Over the whale’s acre, would wander wide
Eager and ready, the crying lone-flyer,
Whets for the whale-path the heart irresistibly.
The Seafarer is a great example of kenning poems. Pound has used a lot of kenning. Here, “whale-path”, “whale-road” and “whale’s acre” referred to the ocean. “Breast-hoard” refers to the heart.

In the short story, The Secret Sharer, the author Joseph Conrad uses an example of synecdoche; “At midnight I went on deck, and to my mate’s great surprise put the ship round on the other tack. His terrible whiskers flitted round me in silent criticism.” This specific line is an example of an synecdoche because the word "whiskers" refers to the whole face of the narrator's mate. This is why these are examples of synecdoche.

Synecdoche is a part of something represents the whole or it may use a whole to represent a part. There are many example of synecdoche in literature. One example is in The Secret Sharer by Joseph Conrad, the line reads, "At midnight I went on deck, and to my mate’s great surprise put the ship round on the other tack. His terrible whiskers flitted round me in silent criticism.” The synecdoche is the word “whiskers” it refers to the whole face of the narrator’s mate. Another example of synecdoche is used in different song lyrics. Such as this example in Beyonce's song "Single Ladies", she sings "Cause if you liked it then you should have put a ring on it, If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it, Don't be mad once you see that he want it, If you liked it then you should've put a ring on it".

There is a singer everyone has heard,
Loud, a mid-summer and a mid-wood bird,
Who makes the solid tree trunks sound again.
He says that leaves are old and that for flowers
Mid-summer is to spring as one to ten.
He says the early petal-fall is past
When pear and cherry bloom went down in showers
On sunny days a moment overcast…..

(The Oven Bird by Robert Frost)

In the given example, Frost has also employed kenning. For instance, “mid-wood” refers to a bird. And the second obvious kenning is “petal-fall” which represents autumn or the fall season.

Synecdoche are every where in literature. In my opinion the best ones are the ones not in a specific work of literature. So here are some examples of synecdoche the. One is "a new set of wheels". Which means a new car not an actually to wheels. Another one is "John Hancock. Which means signature not the actually person

Darth Vader from "Star Wars" is an epic hero because he is a man but has elevated status, both as a ruler and as "the one" destined to bring balance to The Force. He has superior skills, including his mastery over The Force, a power that certain men are able to harness.

2016-10-09 00:30:42 UTC

Synecdoche and Metonymy are very similar. Synecdoche is a part of something representing the whole. Metonymy is the word we use to describe another thing is closely linked to that particular thing, but is not necessarily a part of it. An example of Synecdoche is saying the word "Hollywood" instead of the US film industry. An example of Metonymy is saying "get your butt over here" instead of "get your whole body over here".

A kenning is derived from Norse and Anglo saxon poetry. It is stylistic device and can be defined as a two-word pharse that describes an object through metaphors. In the poem Teacher by Nicole it uses a great number of examples examples kenning. A couple of examples are Unquestionable genius and big olge. These both describe the teacher in the poem. Unquestionable genius is describing how much more knowledge a Teacher has than you. Big orge is describing big and mean strict teachers who seem like they hurt you more than hurt you.

Synechode is often used to symbolize something or someone. We often tend to use this literary device in our everyday lingo. For example, we often use the term, "bread" to refer to money. Another example of synecdoche that we use are the terms "coke" or "pops" to refer to any type of carbonated drinks. Synecdoches are actually frequently used in everyday speech so be on the lookout!

2016-10-10 03:12:47 UTC

A Kenning is derived from Norse and Anglo-Saxon poetry. It is a stylistic device and can be defined as a two-word phrase that describes an object through metaphors. A Kenning poem is also called a riddle that consists of a few lines of kennings which describe someone or something in confusing detail.

In the second stanza “I heard a Fly buzz – when I died –” by Emily Dickinson there is an exaple of a synecdoche:
The Eyes around – had wrung them dry –
And Breaths were gathering firm
For that last Onset – when the King
Be witnessed – in the Room –
The process describe in the poem is death of the main character. So the first line tells about the eyes starring at him in the meaning eyes of people. That is a perfect example of synecdoche when you tell about a part of whole object.

The serpent that did sting thy father’s life
Now wears his crown." In this excerpt from Hamlet. The synecdoche example in this excerpt is the usage of the word “ear.” The ghost refers to “the whole ear of Denmark.” This means that the whole population of Denmark has heard a particular story about his death.

Epic Hero a brave and noble character in an epic poem, admired for great achievements or affected by grand events. For Example, In Homer's "The Iliad," Achilles is the son of the nymph Thetis and the king Peleus. In keeping with the characteristics of the epic hero, his story is associated with mythology, he has exceptional bravery and strength but does not have divine powers, and he fights for a greater cause on behalf of the Greeks. Odysseus appears in another of Homer's epics, "The Odyssey," and he participates in the epic hero's journey. He faces many obstacles during his 10-year journey home that test his bravery, skill and honor. Though he appears on the verge of defeat many times a characteristic of the epic hero which he ultimately triumphs.

Synecdoche a figure of speech in which a part is made to represent the whole or vice versa. For Example, Coleridge employs synecdoche in his poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner: The “western wave” is a synecdoche as it refers to the sea by the name of one of its parts i.e. wave. Another example Shelly uses synecdoche in his poem Ozymandias: “The hand” in the above lines refers to the sculptor who carved the “lifeless things” into a grand statue. However, in metonymy, the word we use to describe another thing is closely linked to that particular thing, but is not necessarily a part of it. For example, “crown” that refers to power or authority is a metonymy used to replace the word “king” or “queen”.

A caesura is a pause in a line of poetry that is formed by the rhythms of natural speech rather than by metrics. A caesura will usually occur near the middle of a poetic line but can also occur at the beginning or the end of a line. In poetry, there are two types of caesural breaks: feminine and masculine.

A caesura is a pause in a line of poetry that is formed by the rhythms of natural speech rather than by metrics. An example of caesura is the beginning of the "Star-Spangled Banner" which is "Oh, say can you see; by the dawn's early light..." "The Star-Spangled Banner" is any example of caesura because through the song it has many pauses in between the lyrics. As you can see from my example, there is a pause between see and by in the beginning of "The Star-Spangled Banner". This is why I chose this as my example of caesura.

2016-10-11 03:23:15 UTC

Caesura a break, especially a sense pause, usually near the middle of a verse, and marked in scansion by a double vertical line.

II Be she honour-flaw'd. I have three daughters; II the eldest is eleven. Often caesura is not marked at all in the poetry, and it is just indicated by how the speaker says the lines.

In the poem "Beowulf" there are several examples of caesura. For example, in The Battle with Grendel, line 392 states " Out of the marsh, from the foot of the misty". This particular line is a great example of caesura because the comma between "the marsh" and "from" represents a pause. Another example of caesura is found when Grendel starts walking towards the castle. "Towards that gold-shining hall. He had visited Hrothgar's". The period between the "hall" and "he" represents a caesura because the period indicates a strong break.

Strengthening me in all situations,
Giving me free rides to the world of dreams,
Taking me back to my cherished memories,

And nothing shall separate them from me.

Another example is from "The Bounty" by Derek Walcott. He says, "“of reeds and stalk-crickets, || fiddling the dank air, lacing his boots with vines, || steering glazed beetles”. The stops after stalk-crickets and vines are the examples of caesura in this example.

Synecdoche is used in everyday sayings. For example, we all need "bread" in life to make it. We aren't necessarily talking about the bread you eat, this bread is referring to money. Another example is "All hands on deck". It doesn't mean literally put your hands on the deck, it means help out with something. We use synecdoche a lot, especially in Louisiana, it shortens things for us and is very useful.
