  1. Pride By: Dahlia Ravikovitch Ashley & Mallorree

  2. Pride I tell you, even rocks crack,and not because of age.For years they lie on their backsin the heat and the cold,so many years,it seems peaceful. They don’t move, so the cracks stay hidden.A kind of pride.Years pass over them, waiting there.Whoever is going to shatter them hasn't come yet.And so the moss flourishes, the seaweed whips around,the sea pushes through and rolls back---the rocks seem motionless.And suddenly the rock has an open wound.I told you, when rocks break, it happens by surprise.And people, too

  3. Form • Form: What is Form? • The way a poem looks • Free Verse • A type of poetic style in which lines are organized in a loose conversational way • Why? • It’s not put into groups of lines

  4. Types of rhyme • Internal 1. Rhyme within a line Ex: They don’t move, so the cracks stay hidden (line 7) • End 2. Rhyme at the end of a line Ex: I tell you, even rocks crack, and not because of age. For years they lie on their backs (line 1-3)

  5. Imagery • Figurative description or illustration • What do you picture when you read the poem? • Rocks cracking • Waves in a sea • Seaweed flowing • A little seal scratching it’s back on a rock

  6. Alliteration • Repetition of sounds in the beginning of words • Ex: So the cracks stay hidden (line 7) Till a little seal comes to run against them (line 16 )

  7. Assonance • Repetition of similar vowel sounds • Examples: • Whoever is going to shatter them • A kind of pride.

  8. Onomatopoeia • Use of words whose sound suggest their meaning • Ex: I tell you, even rocks crack ( line 1 ) • And so the moss flourishes, the seaweed whips around (line 12 & 13) • Whoever is going to shatter them ( line 10 )

  9. Personification • Giving human qualities to non-living objects • Ex: • For years they lie on their backs ( line 3 ) • And suddenly the rock has an open wound ( line 18 )

  10. Metaphor • Comparing two items without using “like” or “as” • Examples • I told you, when rocks break, it happens by surprise. And people, too. ( line 19-20 )

  11. Repetition • Repeating of sounds or words • Ex: • Rocks cracking

  12. Symbolism • An object used by an author to represent something else • Ex: • The rocks symbolize a person’s emotions and how other’s reactions effect someone.

  13. Speaker • The voice the reader hears relating the ideas of a poem, not necessarily the poet. • Being wise

  14. Identify/Analyze/Explain • A person can only endorse so much criticism and distress until they finally break down. • Why? • The poem says that rocks can take only so much pressure just like people. • Hurtful words can leave a huge impact on a person’s life.
