https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4 Please add some literary devices and tools, that we have learned about so far this year, that help us identify and analyze "Theme" in a piece of literature. en-us 2018-09-27 06:09:11 UTC 2018-09-27 17:44:59 UTC hello@padlet.com cwarner https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286351387 Metaphor: When an author describes/compares two things in by saying one thing is a another, it shows the connectedness of the two ideas. When this is done over and over is is said to be extended...the constant repetition of this metaphor would emphasize the idea being presented. This would help a reader recognize that idea as being "thematic" for the piece.

The use of alliteration draws the reader into a section of text using rhythm and mood. This can catch the reader's eye and help them develop the theme. ]]> 2018-09-27 17:33:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286657893 https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658153 repetition supports the theme by showing the significance of the lines repeating.]]> 2018-09-27 17:33:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658153 https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658197 The author's diction helps to create a detailed picture for the reader, that helps them to understand the theme more clearly. These images all relate to the idea portrayed throughout each story. ]]> 2018-09-27 17:33:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658197 https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658297 When an author writes a poem, sometimes in the lines many beginning letters are repeated such as, "sally sells sea shells by the seashore" which many of us have heard before. When the author repeats they are trying create emphasis on certain points of a story. By repeating certain letters in a sentence it makes that line pop out at us. It makes us think about the line, and helps us see what is important to the story, and what is not. By doing this it can help reveal the theme to us and help us to understand the story further.]]> 2018-09-27 17:33:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658297 https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658799  A kenning is a tool that helps us find theme. A kenning is a word that also means something else that is often used in Anglo Saxon poems. For example in "Wife's Lament" wave tumult means ocean , wave tumult is the kenning. A kenning being repeated enough is almost just like a metaphor in "Wifes Lament" kennings are used enough to present the idea of loneliness and helps us get the idea the land they are at is near ocean.]]> 2018-09-27 17:34:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286658799 https://padlet.com/cwarner/zyfvx40qz0i4/wish/286659031 a type of metaphor usually combining words; made up words put together about a person, place, or thing. It can replace a noun.
