  32. Literary Terms: Cataloguing • Creating long lists for poetic effect • Walt Whitman’s Song of Myself excerpt The pure contralto sings in the organ loft,The carpenter dresses his plank, the tongue of his foreplane whistles its wild ascending lisp,The married and unmarried children ride home to their Thanksgiving dinner,The pilot seizes the king-pin, he heaves down with a strong arm,The mate stands braced in the whale-boat, lance and harpoon are ready,The duck-shooter walks by silent and cautious stretches,The deacons are ordained with crossed hands at the altar,The spinning-girl retreats and advances to the hum of the big wheel,The farmer stops by the bars as he walks on a First-day loaf and looks at the oats and rye,The lunatic is carried at last to the asylum a confirmed case.... [etc.]

  33. Literary Terms: Free Verse • Poetry based on the natural rhythms of phrases and normal pauses rather than meter • Some lines might have a certain meter, but no meter is maintained throughout • I shall goUp and down,In my gown.Gorgeously arrayed,Boned and stayed.And the softness of my body will be guarded from embraceBy every button, hook, and lace.For the man who should loose me is dead,Fighting with the Duke in Flanders,In a pattern called a war.Christ! What are patterns for?

  34. Literary Terms: Cadence • The melodic pattern just before the end of a sentence or phrase • The natural rhythm of language depending on the position of stressed and unstressed syllables

  35. Literary Terms: Parallelism • When a writer or speaker expresses ideas of equal worth with the same grammatical form • "Veni, vidi, vici," (I came, I saw, I conquered) -Julius Caesar

  36. Literary Terms: Imagery • The "mental pictures" that readers experience with a passage • The sensory perceptions referred to in a poem, whether by literal description, allusion, simile, or metaphor • Imagery is not limited to visual imagery, but can be any of the senses that the author awakens with his words

  37. Literary Terms: Theme • The author's way of communicating and sharing ideas, perceptions, and feelings with readers • Can be directly stated or implied • Can be briefly stated or a complicated view of life
