"Assent--and you are sane--Demur--you're straightaway dangerous."
This quote shows that one would be considered normal and sane if one agrees with everyone else. However, if another were to disagree with everyone else, they may be seen as insane and threatening to society and its maintenance. This is because if many were to agree on one single thing, it would now be considered normal and those who disagree would be viewed as abnormal.]]> 2023-02-14 18:27:27 UTC https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482412372 lnazari100 https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482413964 The tone of this poem is realistic because it expresses the ideas of uniqueness and how standing out from society can lead to one being bashed, disrespected, and seen as mad or dangerous. In the text, it says, "Assent-and you are sane- / Demur-you're straightway dangerous-" which illustrates that society is stuck in these standards that are considered sane and normal but might not be while those that have different ideas and actions that are actually normal can be seen as mad and insane. The tone can also be considered angry or fearful because the speaker doesn't like how unjust society is and believes that a rebellion is necessary in order to bring the truth and justice to life and to show that the insane are sane and that the sane are insane.]]> 2023-02-14 18:28:31 UTC https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482413964 aywang1031 https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482572085 2023-02-14 20:33:49 UTC https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482572085 lnazari100 https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482857176 The figure of speech used in this poem is "Demur-you're straightway dangerous-" which is a metaphor and comes to show that society follows certain stereotypes and specific ideas and never strays away from them. This demonstrates that if one discovers a new path and disagrees with society's standards, they can be viewed as dangerous people that have lost their sanity even if they could be onto something extraordinary. This also illustrates the importance of staying true to oneself instead of falling into this pattern that society has set.]]> 2023-02-15 02:39:19 UTC https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2482857176 aywang1031 https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2483721795 The importance of rhyming moves the poem as a whole to a different meaning. "Assent - and you are sane - Demur - you're straightaway dangerous - And handled with a Chain -" The rhyming of "sane" and "chain" affects the meaning. The beginning of the poem talks about the sense of madness and the majority. However, when it comes to this quote, it changes by telling us that those who agree are viewed as sane while those who disagree are viewed as dangerous and contained within the society. ]]> 2023-02-15 16:18:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2483721795 aywang1031 https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2483852391 2023-02-15 17:45:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lnazari100/9rn1lgx1qjtlu9do/wish/2483852391
