n the poem “green chile” by Jimmy Santiago Baca the author shows us how his culture is like our culture.

Another way that he shows language is that he visits his grandma she holds a chile package thens shows she knows baca like chile she probably makes baca chile. More ways of language is that everyone gets along with each other always hanging out with each other.

Jimmy Santiago Baca is an ex-convict turned poem writer. During his stay in prison, he developed a love for poetry and literature. This poem, “Cloudy Days” was written to show his strength in the face of adversity and hardship, both in and out of the prison. That strength is something he’s needed all his life since his abandonment from his parents and grandmother, through the U.S. prison system, and after, in getting back on his feet. Through the use of metaphors and repetition, Jimmy Santiago Baca effectively conveys this.
In the poem, “Dusting,” by Julia Alvarez, the speaker is being rebellious against her mother and wants to do different things than what her mother wants her to do. In the first stanza, the poet writes that the speaker writes her name many times on dusty furniture “each morning” while the mother followed her to dust the furniture and the mess by the girl. This is an example of the speaker rebelling her mother since this is a metaphor meaning that the girl wants to accomplish different things than her mother but her mother keeps on erasing her accomplishments and wants the girl to be just like her. Another evidence in the poem is at the end of stanza two, where the speaker says “But I refuse with every mark to be like her, anonymous.” This phrase
Another example is “By and by Man will try to get out into the sky, Sailing far beyond the air from down and here to up and there. This was an example from “Science-Fiction Cradlesong” this stanza from the poem shows how he rimes in his poem but also show repetition but the main point that the author was trying to show in its poem where mostly religion and that is what most of the poems was all
In my opinion the most key piece of repetition in this poem is the word dog being said over and over again. The way the author is using the phrase “dog” is not talking about the animal. The author is using “dog” as a thing the reader is calling their friends. I think this is the most important piece of repetition because it shows the reader the theme of friendship through the name they are calling each other.
The poet tries to make the poem a point
Repetition is a strategy used to attract a person 's thoughtfulness regarding a sure thought. Consider school. On the off chance that an instructor needs to express what is on her mind, is she going to say it once? No, she is going to repeat it various times so it starts to sink in. The same works with the repeated verses in this epic.

The poem I will be analyzing will be “Uncoiling” by Pat Mora. The theme the author is portraying is the personification of a tornado . It has a dark/fearful/grim tone as she describes the storm that is accruing. The author is using similes, and personification to convey the theme.

The creation of his poems was a grand decision to make for he chose to write epic poetry in contrast to the more common lyrical poetry seen today. Due to this decision, many commented on the amount of repeated phrases utilized in his poetry, believing it was only a tactic to “fill out lines to their required number of stresses”(Bloom 10); however, a much more logical explanation for his writing is that it is to be recited orally and the repeated phrases are to assist the
The speaker's use of repetition contributes to the overall message of the poem by highlighting important themes. For example, the speaker ends the first four stanzas with a similar line. In the first stanza, the line is “Nothing I am bears those parentheses”, the second stanza is “No one I know deserves parentheses”, the third stanza is “Nothing I am wears those parentheses”, and the fourth stanza is “Nothing we are, chained by parentheses”. By repeating this phrase or idea, the speaker calls attention to it, showing the reader that within these lines is something important. And when the reader looks closer, he can see that the parentheses are referring back to line 2, when the speaker put “born Chinese” in parentheses.
Some examples of repetitive words are “We are the.” This quote from the poem highlights that the Indigenous Australians are the First Nation of the land, and they should get the respect that they deserve. The use of repetition captures the audience’s mind because displays that Indigenous tradition is fading away as a new generation appear. The quote “we are going” in the very last line is the quote that shows the audience that the Indigenous generation is going. This is how the use of repetition is beneficial throughout the poem “We Are Going”.
One of the literary devices that Polanco uses is alliteration. For example in polanco’s poem is in line number eight, “Surface of stone”. This means doing the impossible for a change of freedom.
