Repetition

For this first review I attended the Jazz Improvisation Ensemble concert here at the University of Redlands on Monday, November the 30th at eight in the evening in the Frederick Lowe Recital Hall. The concert featured two groups: the Eleven O’clock Jazz Improvisation Ensemble with charts that included “Sugar” by Stanley Turrentine, “Moon Alley” by Tom Harrell, and “Chicken Dog” by John Scofield; and the One O’clock Jazz Improvisation with charts that included “Joy Spring” by Clifford Brown,…

poetic device used is repetition. According to Shenandoah Literary, “[In the poem, “O Me! O Life!” Whitman employs the anaphora ‘Of’ to begin five of the eight lines in the first stanza.” Bright Hub Education states that “[In “O Captain! My Captain!”] the repetition of ‘heart’ in line 5 emphasizes the poet’s grief of the death of his captain. ‘Fallen cold and dead’ is repeated at the end of each stanza to emphasize the poet’s deep loss.” These two sources explain the repetition in the poems…

The song “Famous” by 21 Savage, and the poem, “Still I Rise” by Maya Angelou are similar because both are about the rise and empowerment about themselves, revealed through repetition, through their point of view, and similes. Could it be that a song so distinctive in its ambitions for its perspective be yet so similar to a poem of deep cultural meaning? Through all of “Famous” is a journey of a African-American man from rags to riches but yet remembering and coming back to where he came up from.…

13, Martin Luther King uses repetition by saying, was not ,example of an extremist, an extremist. He then gives a quote by that person and moves onto the next person. By giving multiple examples of extremists King solidifies his point. There is not just one fluke example, there are multiple solid examples. This many examples makes it hard to question King at this point in the letter. The clergymen have to listen to him because of how strong his evidence is. Repetition also initiates a rhythm in…

at 10 Mary Street. Also included in this poem is description of the connection Peter has with his parents. A reoccurring theme of time is present throughout the poem 10 Mary Street. This is shown with the constant repetition of the line “For nineteen years”. The use of this repetition allow us to engage as to how long Peter had stayed at the house as well as to reinforce the long period of time. Another theme present throughout the poem is that of security and stability in relation to…

help fix this issue. She says, “It is time to take action...so it becomes the last time that we see a child deprived of education” (“Malala”). Yousafzai uses rhetorical techniques, including logos, ethos, pathos, figurative language, syntax, and repetition, to persuade the audience to help give children the opportunity to be educated. Yousafzai uses logos, ethos, and pathos for persuasion. First, an appeal to logos is illustrated when she says, “I am those 66 million girls who…

Political moments can provide for the best, and the worst speeches throughout history. For example, many thought Barack Obama had nearly no chance to win presidential elections, but he turned it around with a single phrase. When Obama said that “Yes, We Can” his rhetorical device of pathos inspired a nation. But as an opposing example we see a single metaphor spoken by Donald Trump relating women and cows enraged a legion. Throughout history the world’s greatest and worst speakers have all used…

Munden &Myhre (2015) wrote a list of twelve principles for language learning, and I found it interesting. I have read the list before, but after I reflected about the learning spiral, how to “learn English through English” and “learning combines repetition and progression over a period of time” (p.38), it became more understandable for me. One of my main goal this year was that I should teach English through English. To take over a class who learned English through Norwegian earlier could be a…

“Carpe Diem” both reflect a vaguely different style and moral of the poem. Despite conveying an entirely different message beneath the unique stories, Robert Frost manages to use the same figurative languages for both poems, such as personification, repetition, and natural imagery. Each one of these figurative language used has their own significant within the poem, whether it is for delivering the message or reiterating the life lesson Frost is trying to say. In both poems “The Road Not Taken”…

to the title; both of these poems use this term to refer to a certain life after death, although each interpretation is influenced by entirely different mythologies. The similarities of the poems extend to the use of the imagery, metaphors, the repetition of specific lines, and symbolism. Despite these commonalities, there still remain differences between the two poems in the overall atmosphere produced by the literary techniques, the ending of the poems, and which religion influenced the work.…
