      "silent horn." Is the quote within the poem that shows an oxymoron. Due to a horn normally not being quiet, but actually quite loud. In the context of the poem, Roland is winding a silent horn meaning saying something that should have a huge impact but having an effect on nothing. 

Personification: the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman. 
       "two moons listening, Until the whole harmonious landscape rang..." this is personification due to the moons listening which is something a moon which is an object can't actually do. This is used within the poem to let the reader understand of truly alone Mr. Flood is, that the moons are the only things listening.

Alliteration: occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words. 
         "not a native near..." this is where alliteration is used within the poem. In the context of the poem this quote I'd used to show the reader that Mr. Flood was alone with no one near by.]]> 2018-04-30 02:49:19 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256385845 sabrina_734271 https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256386140 Edwin Arlington Robinson the author of the poem Mr. Flood's Party was born December 12, 1869 and died April 6, 1935.

Both talk to themselves. Eben talks to himself in the third person, almost to make him feel as if he is talking to a real person. "Well, Mr. Flood, we have not met like this in a long time...." An example of Mr. Flood talking to himself in the third person. Now Willy also talks to himself but not in this manner, he talks to himself in a way to make his buddy Charley believe he's talking to him. "Who died?" Charley's response to Willly talking to his dead brother about their late mother. Willy and Eben have many differences, for instance Eben is alone and Willy has his kids and wife Linda. Another difference is Eben seems to be content with his life and being alone, while Willy is upset most of the time due to many things in his life that he sees as wrong.]]> 2018-04-30 03:09:28 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256388383 sabrina_734271 https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256390426 Eben Flood is an old and lonely man, but in the poem he doesn't flat out say that he's lonely. All the poem say in that he's alone. "The road was his with not a native near...." The author's way of showing the reader how truly alone Eben is in his little town. Internal was Eben shows that he's alone is talking to himself in third person. "Well, Mr. Flood, since you propose it, I believe I will." Eben talks to himself as if he is two people, showing that he has no one else to talk too. External factors would be where Eben lives, "for no man else in Tilbury Town to hear:" Eben lives in a small town with most likely no one around for miles causing him to be alone.]]> 2018-04-30 03:26:10 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256390426 sabrina_734271 https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256392703 Eben Flood is an old man who was once loved by many. "Where friends of other days had honored him..." Eben was once a very liked person down in the town, but then somehow ended up alone. A quote within the poem shows how Eben feeling about most things. "Knowing that most things break..." This quote is to arouse the reader into thinking that maybe Eben's past relationships haven't worked at all and that's why he's alone.]]> 2018-04-30 03:50:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sabrina_734271/mhejf3545705/wish/256392703
