In the story “So I aint no good girl” by Sharon flake, in every scene, it show how rude and mean she is. Like when she was fighting another girl. Why is she so mean to the other girls? Sharon wants nobody to talk to her “boyfriend”. She doesn’t herself a good girl because she isn’t a good girl.
Word play is a method of writing designed to retain the reader 's interest. Alliteration and the use of puns are two examples of a play on words. Scieszka uses alliteration in the phrases “group puke horror” and “puke-covered cat”. By using words that rhyme, the author keeps the reader laughing. The thematic message that is displayed throughout the story is clearly highlighted through the examples.
Dr. Jekyll and Courtney Davidson would agree with the quote “We’ve all got both light and dark inside us, What matters is the part we choose to act on.” Dr. Jekyll and Davidson both are good people and they both had a share of an evil turn. Dr. Jekyll was a brilliant scientist that did a lot for his community but a dark side took over him and he chose to act on it.. Davidson had a dark side take over her when she began hazing during summer camp. So I believe that both of the characters would agree with the quote from Sirius Black from Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
Who is Doris and why is she so important? Doris is the main character in the stray by Cynthia Rylant, and she is the one who found the stray dog. Doris is kind and likes to help animals because she brought the puppy in her home. Doris also has a kind heart toward animals because most people would just leave the stray dog outside to freeze and starve which is not very kind. In the stray Doris’s dad is starting to be giving because he let the Doris keep the stray puppy.
The two poems, “The Barred Owl” and “The History Teacher”, display different ways of soothing child fears and attempting to protect the children's innocence with their tone, rhyme scheme, and humor. Wilbur specifically uses personification with a different point of view than Collins. Collins comes from a more ironic tone in his poem and portrays the history teacher as a protector of the children’s innocence, when in reality, they have already lost it. “A Barred Owl” by Richard Wilbur is an iambic pentameter that has steady beat and a couplet rhyme scheme. This gives the poem a more childlike and comforting tone.
The elements that Cummings uses are designed specifically to help both the meaning and the rhythm of the poem. For example; the patterns of the poem are without punctuation and fast. Therefore creating a pulling effect on the reader. Forcing them to read without pause. This tells us that the poem is in the point of view of a child.
Poetry is an extraordinary form of self expression, one can follow the limitations of certain poem styles such as limerics, or let the words flow freely without common writing restrictions such as punctuation and grammar. In his poem “The Lost Dancer,” Toomer describes the
Theodore Roethke and Rita Dove used simile and alliteration, from the quote that I used. In “My Papa’s waltz,” the author used “like” to compare how hard it was for the child (and the dad was drunk) and alliteration of /s/ (still and shirt). In “Grape Sherbet,” the author used alliteration of /t/ (trying and taste) and alliteration of /s/, “swirled snow.” I think that the poem “My Papa’s waltz” has more literary devices than “Grape Sherbet,” but I also think that “Grape sherbet” have more complex theme than “My Papa’s
The first poetic device Kunitz used is alliteration, the repetition of beginning letters in words emphasizing certain points that he was trying to get across. Kunitz alliterates two lines of his poem reciting “‘Live in the layers,/
Grow up in a small town, but then moving to a big city could have been one of the main or a mixture of reasons that led to the writing of Banjo Paterson’s poem, ‘The Man from Ironbark’. This poem takes an entertaining look at how city people think about country folk. By the way the barber acts towards the man from Ironbark, it gives the reader an insight of some of Paterson’s own experiences. The invited reading of this poem is an entertaining look at a practical joke that a barber plays on his customer.
In this world of overprotective parents kids are sheltered and raised naive and sensitive. As a community, it should be our duty to expose them to the type of literature that takes them out of their comfort zones and informs them about real world issues. The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas completely fulfills this criteria, and as a result, it should be taught in the grade 9 curriculum. The book discusses many taboo topics, while at the same time relates to the real world by confronting many social issues in the book and connecting them to real life.
The author then uses onomatopoeia to compare the sounds that are made by a mockingbird and the sounds of Porter’s
Euripides, a famous writer of tragedies in Ancient Greece, stated, “Nothing has more strength than dire necessity” (“Euripides”). Annie Dillard, Pulitzer Prize recipient, shares this theme in her non-fiction narrative “Living Like Weasels.” Through the production of non-fiction narrative essays, paintings, poetry, and books, she influences her audiences to think about life and the environment. In fact, she appreciates nature and its splendor. In “Living Like Weasels,” she contrasts the behavior of humans and animals while evaluating the meaning of life, and she establishes that living by necessity leads to a more fulfilling journey than striving to achieve the American Dream.
The reader can also see the setting of the catacombs and see how dark and eerie they are. Poe also uses figures of speech to craft his story. One example of this is, “The bells upon his cap jingled as he strode” (pg. 2). This then appears again later in the story, “I thrust a torch through the remaining aperture and let it fall within. There came forth in return only a jingling of the bells” (pg. 4).
Although he uses imagery, tone and irony in ways that really pull the poem together to make it what it
