itself as terrifying, he casually says “I could pull the steering wheel,” which is an allusion to suicide, as though the actual act of dying is not a big deal, and can happen at any time(Tyler 25). Along with this, they both are freeform, without a rhyme scheme or defined rhythmic pattern. Also, they both use alliteration and juxtaposition. An example of juxtaposition in “If I Should Die” is, “If I should die, / And you should live,” (Dickinson 1-2). The premise of two people, one alive, one…

as an ekphrastic piece. In mostly all poems, the writer utilizes various poetic devices to help a reader further understand and develop a deeper meaning to the poem. In this poem Kennedy effectively used the poetic devices of assonance, simile, and rhyme to both portray the significance of a nude woman, such as the one depicted in the artwork, descending a staircase, and to offer insight into the aspects of the painting that are not explicitly observed. The author uses assonance in the first…

any little rhyme in any little time that runs in my head”. In the following lines, Graves uses simile comparing the rhymes of traditional poetry to “Prussian soldiers on parade that march, stiff as starch, foot to foot, boot to boot, blade to blade, button to button”.

“The Rose that Grew from Concrete,” is written by Tupac Amaru Shakur. The poem is short, and is an autobiographical dramatic monologue in which the speaker addresses aspects of the poet’s life. The idea that the poem is a dramatic monologue is demonstrated by the one sided question the speaker asks the reader: “Did you hear about the rose that grew from a crack in the concrete?” The poem is dramatic as it is spoken in a moment of deep emotion, as the speaker passionately discusses the subject,…

There is no comments in a biography, letters, or…
