  2. Definitions: • Figures of Speech – An expression that uses language in a non-literal way, or in a structured or unusual way, or that employs sounds to achieve a rhetorical effect. • Metaphor – A figure of speech in which a term or phrase is applied to something to which it is not literally applicable in order to suggest a resemblance. • Symbolism – The practice of representing things by symbols, or of investing things with a symbolic meaning or character. • Rhythm – Movement or procedure with uniform or patterned recurrence of a beat, accent, or the like. • Rhyme – Verse or poetry having correspondence in the terminal sounds of the lines. • Meter - Poetic measure; arrangement or words in regularly measured, patterned, or rhythmic lines or verses. • Alliteration – The commencement or two or stressed syllables of a word group either with the same consonant sound or sound group, or with a vowel sound that may differ from syllable to syllable. • Onomatopoeia – The formation of a word by imitation of sound made by or associated with it’s referent. • Assonance - Resemblance of sounds. • Consonance - Correspondence of sounds; harmony

  3. Figures Of Speech • Oliver Wendell Holmes: “A thought is often original, though you have uttered it a hundred times.” Holmes is using the Figure of Speech called exaggeration.

  4. Metaphor Ralph Waldo Emerson: “The goats are dry,” in his poemAlphonso of Castile.

  5. Symbolism In the book Walden by Henry David Thoreau, Thoreau writes “When the ponds were firmly frozen,…” He is trying to give you a visualization, so that you see what he saw.

  6. Rhythm Edgar Allen Poe “It was many and many a year ago, In a kingdom by the sea, That a maiden there lived whom you may know By the name of ANNABEL LEE; And this maiden she lived with no other thought Than to love and be loved by me.”

  7. Rhyme In youth I have known one with whom the Earth In secret communing held - as he with it, In daylight, and in beauty, from his birth: Whose fervid, flickering torch of life was lit From the sun and stars, whence he had drawn forth A passionate light - such for his spirit was fit – And yet that spirit knew - not in the hour Of its own fervour - what had o'er it power.

  8. William Cullen Bryant Meter I gazed upon the glorious sky And the green mountains round, And thought that when I came to lie At rest within the ground

  9. Alliteration “Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared to dream to dream before;” Edgar Allen Poe’s The Raven.

  10. Onomatopoeia “With wind-flowers frail and fair,” William Cullen Bryant's’ The Arctic Lover

  11. Assonance In the ancient town of Bruges, In the quaint old Flemish city, As the evening shades descended, Low and loud and sweetly blended, Low at times and loud at times, And changing like a poet's rhymes, Rang the beautiful wild chimes From the Belfry in….. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

  12. Consonance Consonance “By wintry hills his hermit-mound..” by Herman Melville.

  13. I would say that Ralph Waldo Emerson was a newer generation of his time. I think a lot of people had not yet experienced nor thought of the things he was proposing. He started out as a preacher/minister but ended up resigning because he did not have the same values and beliefs of the traditional preacher minister. He decided “that he was not interested” in the rite of communion. Harvard criticized him for his ideas, but I would say he brought on a new view of life!

  14. Determine: • In our school books today we are still reading about writers, such as Edgar Allen Poe, Nathaniel Hawthorne, et cetra, these people have made such impacts on society over the years that teachers feel that we should use there work in our text books. Herman Melville’s Moby Dick was not popular when he was alive, but many teenagers use it to write book reports on, because it is overall a good piece of work. Edgar Allen Poe’s poem The Raven is use through out High School English courses to show students the different types of writing styles in poems.
