  1. Poet and Didn’t Know It Prompt 1 • “And when she started becoming a “young lady,” and no one was allowed to look at her because she thought she was fat. And how she really wasn’t fat. And how she was actually very pretty. And how different her face looked when she realized boys thought she was pretty. And how different her face looked the first time she really liked a boy who was not on a poster on her wall. And how her face looked when she realized she was in love with that boy. I wondered how her face would look when she came out from behind those doors.” – Perks of Being A Wallflower

  4. English Language Arts Poetry

  5. Alliteration • the repetition of the same first sound in a group of words • Ex: Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?

  6. Assonance • the repetition of similar vowel sounds in words close by each other • Ex: “cat” and “laugh” “fight” and “try”

  7. Consonance • the repetition of similar consonant sounds within words • Ex: • “cat” and “bit” “link” and “rank”

  8. Allusion • Making an indirect reference to something known to society • The Trojan horse; Achilles’ heel

  9. Hyperbole • an extreme exaggeration • Ex: “He was so hungry he could have eaten a horse.”

  10. Imagery • a technique that poets use to describe and appeal to the senses, words that create pictures in the mind • Ex: “Yellow matted custard dripping from a dead dog’s eye” (John Lennon)

  11. Irony • When the outcome is different from what was expected. I.e. “Richard Cory” “Whenever Richard Cory went down town, We people on the pavement looked at him; He was a gentleman from sole to crown, Clean favoured, and imperially slim. And he was always quietly arrayed, And he was always human when he talked; But still he fluttered pulses when he said, “Good-morning,” and he glittered when he walked. And he was rich—yes, richer than a king— And admirably schooled in every grace: In fine, we thought that he was everything To make us wish that we were in his place. So on we worked, and waited for the light, And went without the meat, and cursed the bread; And Richard Cory, one calm summer night, Went home and put a bullet through his head.”

  12. Metaphor • a comparison between two things, saying something is something else • Ex: • “My love is a red rose.”

  13. Metonymy • One word or phrase is substituted for another with which it is closely associated. • i.e. “Washington” for “the United States government” Or i.e. “pigskin” for “a football”

  14. Personification • when non-human things (animals, objects or ideas) are described as if they were human • Ex: “The leavesdanced in the courtyard.”

  15. Simile • a comparison using like or as • i.e. “Her teeth were like kernels of corn.”

  16. Symbol • Using something to represent an idea (symbolism = using symbols) • i.e. maple leaf = Canada Heart = love Dove = peace Cross = God, church, religion

  17. Synecdoche • A part is used for the whole (as “hand” for “sailor”), the whole for a part (as “the law” for “police officer”), the specific for the general (as “cutthroat” for “assassin”), the general for the specific (as “thief” for “pickpocket”), or the material for the thing made from it (as “steel” for “sword”).

  18. Paradox • A statement or situation which contains elements that apparently contradict or are incompatible. • Shocks the reader and is effective because of its shock value • “One hot summer day in winter…”

  19. Euphony • smooth, pleasant sounding choice and arrangement of sounds • Letter arrangements that include “s”, “l”, “m” tend to have a more euphonious sound • Often used in love poetry • “Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?”

  20. Exit Slips! • 1. What is the difference between a simile and a metaphor?  • 2. Create a sentence that illustrates hyperbole. • 3. Which sound device or form of figurative language is the most challenging for you?
