Alliteration

Alliterations in the fourth (Blumen blinken) and fifth verse (Waldwässerlein) highlight the beauty of the scene. The accumulation of conjunctions increases the tension and underlines the speaker’s awe. The internal rhyme “singenden, springenden”, which is composed…

admire in Henry is his ability to keep his temper, even when insulted and provoked. This is shown in the line “we are glad the Dauphin is so pleasant with us. His present and your pains we thank you for”. Here, Shakespeare’s use of sarcasm and alliteration are proof that Henry is speaking with care and thought, rather than with an emotional outburst. This makes him a much more effective and level-headed leader. Another one of Henry’s admirable qualities is the self-control and restraint he…

He is using imagery here because he is explaining how it was a great day being with his grandma with the sun shining. Johnson also uses alliteration by saying “summer sun”. This is a alliteration because summer and sun both have the same sounding…

Good morning/afternoon Mrs Vassilieff and fellow peers. In this short presentation I will be presenting three original poems concerning the social issue of racism. In the modern world racism is becoming more and more destructive. It disempowers people and destroys the cohesion in the community. I will be deconstructing the three poems using the STEPUP process and identifying and explaining the use of figurative techniques in each poem. The three formats of poetry that I have selected to write…

In his piece “The War Prayer,” Mark Twain uses a number of rhetorical devices. Three of the most prominently seen in this work are onomatopoeia, satire, and alliteration. The use of onomatopoeia is seen primarily in the first paragraph of the piece in which the anticipation for war is expressed through patriotic merriment. Examples of this include “… the toy pistols popping, the bunched firecrackers hissing and…

The processes and impact of discovery can differ with individuals. Robert Frost’s early 1910’s suite of poems, ‘Tuft of Flowers’, ‘Mending Wall’, and ‘Home Burial’ explores the progressions and influence of discovery on persona and the responder both negative and positive through the idea of humanity, isolation and solitude. The fact the discoveries can be a platform for renewed perceptions and be fresh and intensely meaningful and stimulate new ideas are represented in Roberts Frost’s ‘Tuft of…

way a poem is written? Well, many poems contain this. Once you have read a poem, you would usually go back and look through it right? Well, once you have done that a few times, you will begin to notice poetic devices such as, metaphors, similes, alliteration, repetition, imagery, and more. As you read a poem, you find all these things to make the poem better. For example, in the story The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes, the poetic devices make the biggest difference whether the poem is boring, or…

Dr. Seuss was a major success in poetry because of his various eccentric characters used in his poems. Wendy Mass states this to demonstrate the idea: “Children and adults loved the mischievous cat [from The Cat in the Hat] in the stovepipe hat who did all sorts of things that good little boys and girls weren’t supposed to do.” (61). She uses this quote to support her idea: “I will hold [the fish] up high/As I stand on a ball/With a book on one hand! /And a cup on my hat! /But that is not ALL I…

the war because it is not something heroic. Owen uses all his senses to describe the freezing atmosphere and develops a mourning and descriptive tone. Owen enhances the readers knowledge of the weather under which the soldiers anguish by using alliteration which is further emphasised by his personification of the conditions. The easterly winds are merciless and icy. The hard consonants ‘d’ and ‘t’ combined with harsh sibilance create a cutting edge to the components which ‘knife’ the men,…
