"Tell the Truth but Tell it Slant" by Emily Dickinson by Sandra Genidy (Student FVHS) https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc Sandra Genidy, Iliana Lucero en-us 2022-02-17 21:01:30 UTC 2022-02-22 15:49:09 UTC hello@padlet.com ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2055411018 2022-02-18 15:10:39 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2055411018 What is the poem’s tone? Which words reveal this tone? Is the poem ironic? ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2055412080 The tone of the poem is one of truthfulness; many words in the poem reveal this tone, but the most prominent is "truth." It's ironic that the poem is about telling the truth, but doing so in such a way that it overwhelms and confuses others. This, I believe, was done on purpose to demonstrate how powerful the truth is and how it can have a significant impact depending on how it is used.]]> 2022-02-18 15:11:15 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2055412080 What figures of speech are used? How do they contribute to the tone and meaning of the poem? ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2055446975 There is personification in this poem such as "The truth's superb surprise" and "The truth must dazzle gradually". The personification of the word "truth" makes it appear as if the truth is a far more powerful tool than we realize. Giving "truth" a heavier interpretation contributes to the poem's meaning by demonstrating how powerful the truth can be and how careful you should be with it. ]]> 2022-02-18 15:29:52 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2055446975 ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059818883 2022-02-22 04:20:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059818883 ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059820606 2022-02-22 04:21:55 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059820606 What is the theme (the central idea) of this poem? Can you state it in a single sentence? Elaborate on your idea. ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059888488 The poem's central idea is about the truth and how powerful it can be when told with kindness and sugar coating. I believe the first line of the poem, "Tell all the Truth but tell it slant," is enough to form the idea for what the rest of the poem is attempting to explain. I believe Emily Dickinson is attempting to demonstrate that if someone knows a "truth," it is within their power to spread and inform others of it in a subtle and non-harmful manner. ]]> 2022-02-22 05:23:32 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059888488 How important is the role of sound effects, such as rhyme and rhythm? How do they affect tone and meaning ssgenidy100 https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059894137 The significance of rhyme and rhythm is that they can make a poem sound more musical. Emily Dickinson uses rhyme every two lines in this poem, and each stanza has its own rhythm. This affects the tone and meaning of the poem by adding emotion to it, and the rhythm's efficiency makes the passage sound and feel swift and smooth as you read it.]]> 2022-02-22 05:29:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ssgenidy100/d7a7vqzg8i0jbjzc/wish/2059894137
