This means that the end of time is pushed forward by the bells. Also, in stanza three, Poe mentions that “the ear distinctly tells.” The line before says that danger is always moving, and that the people know this. This…

friendship by sending each other letters in the mail. The first two stanzas are dedicated to the narrator who describes him sending the letter. The narrator decides to place the letter in their mailbox on an ominous, wet night, creating a feeling of optimism and hopefulness. The poet uses the phrase, "I have walked coatless from the house"(2), as a symbol to illustrate the vulnerability and anxiety the narrator had. From the first to second stanza, the tone gently rises from melancholy to…

this stanza is very happy and calm overall. It is informing the reader of what is happening in the poem and how blackberries play a part in this story and basically setting up the scene of what this story is. “I come to one bush of berries so ripe it is a bush of flies, Hanging their blue-green bellies and their wing panes in a Chinese screen.” These lines are read in a slight melancholy manner, very quiet and disgusted as well. These are the tones of these lines because in this stanza the…

example, in the second stanza, “District Six.” is a use of a short direct sound, the short and sudden pause helps to emphasize the importance of it. It also provides the reader with context by representing the racism at the time the poet wrote this poem, “District Six” was designed for racial segregation.

in every stanza but the first and last stanza. In those stanzas two lines rhyme with each other using the words, “gold” and “cold.” Some words words are used more than once to rhyme with another word like “McGee,” “blow,” and remains.” Then throughout the whole lines of the poem it rhymes. Rhyming in this poem I think helps it flow together better. Repetition- Repetition is when you say something more than one time. Usually it just one word but, in this poem it repeats the first stanza at the…

and the amount of lines and stanzas. In the poem "A Tale Of Fire and Ice" the set up was in two parts. One part is labeled "Part 1: Ice" (Dietrich 1) and the other "Part 2: Fire" (Dietrich 18).
