Tennyson presents the creature in 'The Kraken' to be a dangerous and powerful. In the beginning of the poem "The Kraken" is seen to be in an "ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep", the use of asyndeton in this line highlights the tranquility the creature is in while asleep. However, the creature being in an "uninvaded sleep" could foreshadow that when disturbed is extremely powerful and dangerous. The creature is described as being "ancient" which displays to the audience that it has been there long before the human race and could live on much longer than us. This suggests that the creature is extremely powerful due its age and possesses wisdom greater than our understanding. This along side the mortality of the creature present a powerful image of the creature for the audience. Additionally, towards the end of the poem "The Kraken" is "battening upon huge seaworms". The word "battening" denotes to feeding on something, which suggests that the action is aggressive or life-preserving. Also, the fact that the creature is doing this aggressive action in "his sleep" highlights to the audience that is extremely easy or natural to the creature.]]> 2018-11-14 05:28:47 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134707 Maverick https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134711 How does Tennyson present the creature in 'The Kraken"?

Tennyson presents the creature in "The Kraken" as mysterious and old. Tennyson describes the creature's sleep as "ancient" and "uninvaded". The word "ancient" has connotations of being the earliest and oldest, as well as being preserved. Tennyson uses this to suggest the creature was older than mankind and is well preserved. The use of the word "uninvaded" suggests that the creature has never been disturbed. This suggests that the creature had no interactions with mankind, which further presents the creature as mysterious. Tennyson writes this poem as a mix between a Petrarchan and Shakespearean sonnet. Tennyson uses this odd structure to elaborate on the mystery surrounding the creature as it is hardly ever used. The rhyme scheme of the poem is also used to create a sense of mystery around the creature as it is irregular. This can suggest that the creature falls between many categories of classification and that its unusual appearance in many suggests that the creature is unknown to us. This can suggest that it has existed before us, further emphasising its age. Tennyson describes the seabed as the place where "hath he lain for ages and will lie". This suggests that the creature has been around the Earth longer than mankind and will continue to live after mankind.]]> 2018-11-14 05:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134711 Krishna and Co.™©® https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134718 How does Tennyson present the creature in 'The Kraken'?

Tennyson presents the creature in 'The Kraken' as magnificent in size and thus, fear instilling. The creature makes water bodies "above him swell". This means that the Kraken is so colossal that it increases the volume of the water body itself. This could suggest that the creature has an unnatural control over its size, and cannot die due to it, and is thus royalty amongst the sea creatures, and possibly the land creatures as well. The use of the article 'The' before the creatures name, re-instates the idea that it is of a high post in the hierarchy of the sea, and rules over all the other sea creature because it is the final predator on the chain of life. It is therefore, very dangerous and strikes fear upon anything that passes by it, as even the "faintest sunlight flee" This means that light avoids the creature as well. This could suggest that the creatures potential threat is so great that even a natural occurrence such as light is petrified of it. It could also suggest that since the creature is so large and takes up majority of the water body, the light takes extra effort to evade the wrath of the Kraken. The adjective, 'faintest' suggests that even in small quantities, light evades the Kraken which show the popularity of the Krakens cataclysmic nature.

Tennyson illustrates the creature as being ferocious and dangerous. 
Tennyson indicates this by when the massive creature eats "huge sea worms in his sleep" this indicates that the creature is vicious, as it is able to destroy its environment unconsciously, making the reader ponder of what would happen to the world if he was to awake. This creating tension and suspense throughout the poem. 
Moreover, Tennyson indicates that if the unusual creature was to "rise" then what ever was on the "surface dies" suggesting that the world would come to its end if the creature were to die. This creates a depressing tone and a malchonic atmosphere, as the reader realises that the ancient, long living creature is soon to be diminished.  Tennyson  utilises the word "die" to indicate the strength and power of this ancient creature. Although Tennyson may have used this to indicate that the creature won't die, but what ever is at the surface will, this being the people, us. This creates a stressed atmosphere, and indicates that the power of the creature is unusual and has never been seen before. This suggests that it is majestic and unique. This indicating that the creature could be seen as both negative and positive. This is also evident in the change in writing of the poet through out the poem. ]]> 2018-11-14 05:28:59 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134726 Luc https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134736 Tennyson presents the creature as being large or enormous. Tennyson creates a sense that the kraken is an overpowering and mythical as presented by "Unnumbered and enormous polypi". This creates an image of a large mythcal creature as is has so many polypi that it is uncountable, this goes against the norm of the creature only having eight, which  just displays  that this isnt a creature from earth and that it has come from somewhere or from a different time. The word " enormous" displays that the creature is unlike anything they have seen before, which shows the beliefs they had at that time. "unnumbered" could suggest that there is more than one kraken and cant out a number on how many there are as they don't know  any ting about the kraken. The kraken is also "battening upon huge sea-worms in his sleep"]]> 2018-11-14 05:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134736 Nada https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134768 How does Tennyson present the creature "The Kraken"?
Tennyson presents the vicious sea-monster, 'The Kraken', as an old-soul which lives in an unusual world, separate from what we consider as 'normal'. "The Kraken" lives "far, far beneath", emphasising the distance between it and the rest of the world's population. The repetition of "far" suggests that it resides in a place that is undiscovered and unseen. It excludes itself from the world, living underwater. This may suggest that the creature does in fact need its own world, considering its vastness and viciousness. If "The Kraken" were to exist amongst the rest of the world, it may monopolise it, or even worse, completely destroy it and its habitants. Moreover, "The Kraken" is explicitly presented as a creature who has been in existence for thousands of years and is long-lasting as it has "lain for ages and will lie". The word "will" creates a sense of certainty that "The Kraken" will outlive all species and will remain in existence for however long. The power and significance of "The Kraken" is shown here as it has more abilities than what is normal. Because of the excessive power "The Kraken" has to offer, it will only take the apocalypse for it to "rise and on the surface die".

Tennyson presents the creature to be dangerous and powerful even as he sleeps. The 'Kraken' is associated with danger when Tennyson states that even the 'faintest sunlights flee''. This has a negative connotation as the sun is usually associated with joy and happiness and peace, and for the sun to 'flee' is almost like it's escaping from the dangerous and mysterious aura that the 'Kraken' has created where he sleeps. This use of personification implies an impending doom of what may happen when the 'Kraken' awakens. 'Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep' shows a look inside how violent the 'Kraken's' nature really his. The use of the word 'battening' suggest that the way he feeds upon his prey his cruel and gruesome, and the fact that he is doing this all in his sleep implies just how powerful he really is. The size of the seaworms which is describe as 'huge' also gives the reader a visual of the size of the 'Kraken' and just how large he actually is

Tennyson portrays the unusual creature to be of great magnitude and power. The hidden creature is seen to be "Battening upon huge seaworms in his sleep". This emphasises the size of 'The Kraken' as it is feeding on "huge seaworms" showing that it is bigger than them. Also, "The Kraken" is able to do that in its sleep therefore it can do so much more when awake, which presents 'The Kraken' to be very powerful. Moreover, the creature is "Far,Far" in "uninvaded sleep". The use of repetition indicates that the creature is in its own separate world. Also, "Far,Far" is linked to fairy tales which further highlights that the creature is mythical and mysterious. ]]> 2018-11-14 05:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134842 Kawthar https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134850 How does Tennyson present the creature in 'The Kraken'?
Tennyson presents the creature as powerful. He describes the creature having 'enormous polypi' This shows that the creature has a lot of tentacles and that they are huge and uncountable. It also shows that the is seem to be mythical and unbelievable for being 'enormous'. Tennyson also emphasizes the size of the Kraken since the creature feeds on 'huge seaworms in his sleep' This shows that the size of the Kraken and seaworms are being compared to show that the Kraken is very big. It also shows that the the creature is dangerous because it is destroying it's surroundings unconsciously and that the creature can cause more damage if it's awake. ]]> 2018-11-14 05:29:48 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134850 Fatima https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134851 How does Tennyson present the creature in ‘The Kraken’?

Tennyson presents the creature in ‘The Kraken’ as a mysterious and dangerous “myth” in the poem. He shows this through the magnitude, power and age of the creature, the kraken’s “ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep” suggests that he has been alive for a very long time and has been undisturbed which could suggest that people are fearful of risking their own lives to encounter it. The fact that’s he eats “huge seaworms  in his sleep” tells us how large he is as the seaworms are described as “huge” making the kraken sound enormous and more dangerous. Tennyson mentions that the kraken is “far, far”, the repetition of “far” emphasises how detached he is from the world and makes the kraken sound like a mysterious myth.

Tennyson depicts the 'kraken" as a fearsome beast from the depths of the ocean.Tennyson's constant repetition of the  'kraken' surviving for ages, several hundreds of years in his 'ancient dreamless uninvaded sleep' suggests he has existed for a long time and due to his unrestricted strength and magnitude he has not been disturbed.The creature is described as 'ancient' which portrays that the creature has existed before the influence of humans and that it is a force not be reckoned with.Tennyson also

- Tennyson portrays the creature in the poem 'The Kraken' as being mysterious yet large and scary. In the third line, the speaker describes the creature as being "ancient" giving is connotations of being really old and mysterious, as not a lot is known about it and is most probably feared. In addition the speaker describes the creature as it is "battening upon huge sea-worms in its sleep," demonstrating that, this creature "battens" or violently feeds on "huge" sea-worms in his sleep. The phrase "in his sleep" suggests that the creature does all of this with minimal effort, and is capable of much more dangerous and wild things if it tried, creating a bone chilling atmosphere as it is portrayed as being something so powerful and mysterious. Furthermore, the creature is seen as almost immortal as it can only be killed by the "latter fire [that] shall heat the deep" exemplifying its magnitude, and how it cannot be killed except by the fires of hell demonstrating how huge and powerful it is]]> 2018-11-14 05:30:43 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134936 Keira aarushi_attawar https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304134942 how does Tennyson present the creature in 'the kraken'?

Tennyson presents the creature,  the kraken, through the exploration of both age and size. this is seen through the description of the taken 
sleeping, "the kraken sleepeth" the start of this phrase is written in old English which is used in fairy tales, this represents the Krakens age, which is old and ancient, this then implies that if the kraken is old and ancient, he therefore sounds as though he was a mystical creature. however in the phrase we are given the impression that the kraken is a 'dangerous' creature, "faintest sunlights flee". sunlight represent happiness and life which has positive connotations, however flee has negative connotations, which means to escape. this showcases how when the sun escapes the sky, the kraken awakens, as well as how the 'happiness' is taken away in a flash and how the darkest is glooming over the ocean. this leaves the reader feeling unsure about the dangers of the creature due to the suspense. " the description of the krakens area is described, "far, far beneath the abysmal sea". "far far" represents the depth of the ocean, and the deeper ocean is the more undiscovered creatures there are, this highlights how the Kraken exists away from the human world therefore leaving the reader in a mysterious atmosphere,

Tennyson presents the creature, Kraken through the exploration of it's age. 
The kraken's sleep is described to be 'ancient, dreamless and uninvaded.' The word 'ancient' suggests that the Kraken has been asleep for a very long time, it also explores how the Kraken is very old. This suggests that the Kraken may be wise due to his age and also that he comes from a distant past highlights how he is far-away from humans and separate in his own world. As he has been asleep for a long time, the time for him to awaken is approaching this elicits a suspenseful atmosphere. 
Dreams have an encouraging connotation and the fact that the Kraken's sleep lacks this creates an eerie tone this is contrasted by the word 'uninvaded' which suggests that the Kraken is peaceful when asleep. However it foreshadows the catastrophe as to how violent he may be if disturbed, this contrast creates is used by tennyson to create irony and also to hint at the Kraken's disastorus nature. 
Furthermore, as 'the Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlight flee.' 
The word 'sleepeth' is the use of old english language, Tennyson utilizes this to emphasize the Kraken's age which may display his wiseness.  Sunlight is usually associated with joy and warmth both of which have positive connotations the fact that Sunlight is described to run away at sight of the Kraken. This personification illustrates an eerie tone]]> 2018-11-14 05:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/304135237 A Girl with a Brain https://padlet.com/sdonegan/yr11kraken/wish/419526445 The kraken represent a deep emotion that has lain dormant for a long time.
