1. the poetry term that you were assigned with its definition
2. 2 different examples (from poems or songs) that display your poetry term
3. a brief explanation (3-4 sentences) expanding on how the term applies or how the
poet or songwriter used the poetry term in his/her poem/song.
You will teach the class this concept tomorrow, and we will use the blog as a visual.

Leave your initials at the end. Thank you!
1. Onomatopoeia is a word in which the sound of the word tells the meaning.
ReplyDelete2. 1. “Old Macdonald’s farm”
“Old MacDonald had a farm, eee-yi-eee-yi-oh And on this farm he had a pig, eee-yi-eee-yi-oh With an oink, oink here and an oink, oink there Here an oink, there an oink, everywhere an oink, oink Old Mac Donald had a farm, eee-yi-eee-yi-oh”
Onomatopoeia is used in this song through the animal noises. Each animal has its own sound and you can hear their sound in each verse. When you hear oink oink you know it’s a pig.
2. Cafeteria Boom!
Went the food trays.
Clap! Clap!
Goes the teacher.
Rip!
Went the plastic bag.
Munch! Munch!
Go the students.
Slurp!!!
Went the straws.
Whisper
Is what half the kids in the room are doing. Crunch! Crunch!
go the candy bars.
In this poem they use onomatopoeia in every other line. Each of the actions that the people are doing have a sound that matches. When you hear the word boom you can just imagine a tray slamming on the table.
a simile is a comparison between two different things using the words "like" or "as"
ReplyDelete1. "She's sleeping like a child" (Assassin-John Mayer) In this song, John tells how he is going to act as an "assassin" and try to steal a girl's love. He doesn't literally mean that this girl has the same mannerisms a child would have while sleeping. He is simply saying that she is unaware that he is about to try to win her over.
2. "like a river meets the sea, stronger than its ever been," (Then-Brad Paisley) In this song, Brad tells of his one true love and how perfect they are for each other. In this particular line, he is talking about how strong his love is and how well his love and he mix. It's saying when they meet, they blend and form together, just as his love and he were from the day they met.

Enjambment-is the continuation of a sentence or clause over a line-break.
ReplyDelete1) " Eating Mangoes
on a stick"
The sentence is still continuing because there is no punctuation. But when you say it there is a natural pause cause of the line break. This is often used to emphasize words.
2) " The flash
lights the wick
wax softens, melts"
The sentence is ongoing but the line break makes you focus on the words. This really paints a picture in your head because you read slowly through this stanza.

Tone is the quality of a person's voice; "he began in a conversational tone"; "he spoke in a nervous tone of voice”
ReplyDelete"Goodbye's the saddest word I'll ever hear
Goodbye's the last time I will hold you near
Someday you'll say that word and I will cry
It'll break my heart to hear you say goodbye
But the love you gave me will always live
You'll always be there every time I fall
You are to me the greatest love of all
You take my weakness and you make me strong
And I will always love you 'til forever comes”
- Celine Dion “Goodbye’s the Saddest word”
"I know I can't take one more step towards you
Cause all that's waiting is regret
And don't you know I'm not your ghost anymore
You lost the love I loved the most
I learned to live half alive
And now you want me one more time
And who do you think you are
Running 'round leaving scars
Collecting your jar of hearts
And tearing love apart
You're gonna catch a cold
From the ice inside your soul
So don't come back for me
Who do you think you are”
Christina Perry - Jar of Hearts.
Both of the Singers/songwriters wrote their songs with a tone of regret and sorrow. If the songs are not rhymed but the tone helps the listener understand the concept of the meaning of the poem. Without the tone, the poem would have a whole other meaning.
Personification:
ReplyDeleteattribution of personal qualities; especially: representation of a thing or abstraction as a person or by the human form.
"rumors of tomatoes"
Tomatoes don't have rumors!, yet Pat Mora uses it to say that there might be a possibility that the tomatoes are spread on the pizza.
"Riding red pepper cloud-currents,
cruising the seas,"
This is talking about how the flavor of the peppers on the pizza can sweep you off your feet.

Symbolism: Symbols and symbolic representations
ReplyDelete"Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
-Bob Marley "Three Little Birds"
"fire spreads
sparks a core
frees a spirit
to sing its quiet song."
-Pat Mora "Match"
In these two poems each word has a deeper or even different meaning than its literal meaning. The words can mean whatever you think. As in Three Little Birds I the birds are singing and symbolizing peace and that everything is going to be ok. In the second example the match is like a person becoming themselves coming out of their shell to live their life to the fullest.

Slant Rhyme - Rhyming two words based on the sounds of the ending instead of directly the same endings.
ReplyDelete~State of Emergency - Gabe
We've been apart for sometime
I know its crazy
Thinkin' back on the days
that you used to call me baby
~By Chance - JRA
Hi
Girl you just caught my eye
thought I should give it try
and get your name & your number
go grab some lunch & eat cucumbers
Why, did I say that?
I don't know why.
But you're smilin' & it's something' i like
on your face, yeah it suits you
girl we connect like we have bluetooth
In gabes song, he uses "crazy" to rhyme with "baby" and that isnt directly the same ending making it a slant rhyme. The two words sound similar enough to be thought its a true rhyme but the slight change makes it slant, as a straight line slightly slanted. In by chance, jra uses alot of slant rhymes like, hi, eye, try, they all end with an "i" sound, but its not actually the same spelling.
-BP
Yes. True rhyme is when the poem rhymes throughout the whole poem.
ReplyDelete1) "Won't look like rain. Won't look like snow.
Won't look like fog. Thats all we know.
We just can't tell you any more.
We've never made oobleck before."
- Dr. Seuss
2) I'm a young money millionaire, tougher than Nigerian hair
My criteria compared to your career just isn't fair

ReplyDeleteLucky in the Sky, by The Beatles
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eKXfqpg-Q-k&feature=related
Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Follow her down to a bridge by a fountain
Where rocking horse people eat marshmallow pies
Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers
That grow so incredibly high
Newspaper taxis appear on the shore
Waiting to take you away
Climb in the back with your head in the clouds
And you're gone
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Picture yourself on a train in a station
With plasticine porters with looking glass ties
Suddenly someone is there at the turnstile
The girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Aaaaaah
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds
Lucy in the sky with diamonds...

Alliteration: The comencment of two or more stressed syllables of a word group either with the same consonant sound or sound group.
ReplyDeleteDewdrops Dancing from Daisies (Paul McCann)
Ex.1 Dusk demands daylight
drewdrops dwell delicately
drawing dazzling delight
Ex.2 The Raven (Edgar allan Poe)
Once upon a midnight dreary while I wondered weak and weary
Stop line- when each phrase corresponds in length to line.
ReplyDelete. Every line ends the same in the stanza
Example: The Burning Babe by Robert Southwell
As I in hoary winter's night stood shivering in the snow,
Surprised I was with sudden heat, which made my heart to glow;
And lifting up a fearful eye to view what fire was near,
A pretty babe all burning bright did in the air appear.
Example: The Gap by Sheldon Vanauken
All else is off the point: the Flood, the Day
Of Eden, or the Virgin Birth—Have done!
The Question is, did God send us the Son
Incarnate crying Love! Love is the Way!

1. Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds.
ReplyDelete2.
“The Eagle” by Lord Alfred Tennyson
He clasps the crag with crooked hands;
Close to the sun in lonely lands,
Ring’d with azure world, he stands.
The wrinkled sea beneath him crawls;
He watches from his mountain walls,
And like a thunderbolt he falls.
“Fences” by Pat Mora
Mouths full of laughter,
the turistas come to the tall hotel
with suitcases full of dollars
Every morning my brother makes
the cool beach sand new for them.
With a wooden board he smooths
away all footprints
I peek through the cactus fence
and watch the women rub oil
sweeter that honey into their arms and legs
while their children jump waves
or sip drinks from long straws
coconut white, mango yellow.
Once my little sister
ran barefoot across the hot sand
for a taste.
My mother roared like the ocean,
“No. No. It’s their beach.
It’s their beach.”
3. Consonance is used several times in both of these poems. Consonance is used to emphasize an action or subject in a poem. For example, in “The Eagle,” consonance is used in the first line to focus on the eagle’s claws. Also, in “Fences,” the s sound in line 12 helps us focus on the drink itself.
