  2. Figure Of Speech • A word or phrase that describes one thing in terms of something else and that is not meant to be taken literally. • Figures of speech almost always involve a comparison of two things that are basically very dissimilar. • My Examples: “She is a tower of strength” • And “ he is a pain in the neck” or “Sharp as a marble” or “dumber than a hoe handle”.

  3. Ralph Waldo Emerson- Self Reliance *Figure of Speech* • Emerson said he was “born a poet” who sang “for the most part in prose” • Emerson often compares abstract ideas to ordinary things and events-”Society is a joint stock company”. • Emerson compares society to a business where the shareholders or owners are held personally liable.

  4. Metaphor • A figure of speech that makes a comparison between two unlike things without the use of such a specific words of comparison as like, as, than or resembles. • There are three kinds of metaphors: • A Directly Stated Metaphor • An Implied Metaphor • An Extended Metaphor • A Dead Metaphor • A Mixed Metaphor

  5. Directly Stated Metaphor • States the comparison explicitly • Emily Dickinson- “ Fame is a bee”

  6. Implied Metaphor • Does not state explicitly the two terms of the comparison • “ I like to see it lap the miles” by Emily Dickinson . • Contains an implied metaphor in which the verb lap implies a comparison between it, which is a train, and some animal that laps up water. • - talked about • trains

  7. Extended Metaphor • Is a metaphor that is extended or developed over a number of lines or with several examples. • Dickinson’s poem beginning “ Fame is a bee” is an extended metaphor , the comparison of fame to a bee is extended for four lines

  8. Dead Metaphor • Is a metaphor that has been used so often that the comparison is no longer vivid. • “The head of the house” • “The seat of government” • “Knotty problem”- are all dead metaphors • This skull is a emblem of death • or dead

  9. Mixed Metaphor • Is a metaphor that fails to make a logical comparison because its mixed terms are visually and imaginative incompatible. • “The president is a lame duck who is running out of gas” • The president is not a lame duck, and the duck doesn’t run out of gas because they don’t hold gas. -George W. Bush, talks about the president.

  10. Oliver Wendell Holmes- *Metaphor* • In the poem “ The Chambered Nautilus” there is a metaphor in stanza 3-the poet was comparing the nautilus to a person who changes homes. • “Chambered Nautilus”

  11. Symbolism- Edgar Allen Poe • A literary movement that originated in late nineteenth century France, in which writers rearranged the world of appearances in order to reveal a more truthful version of reality. • The French symbolists were influenced by the poetry and critical writings of the American writer Edgar Allen Poe. • Symbolic meaning the white whale has in Moby Dick is “is that wall…Sometimes I think there’s naught beyond”. -Heart is a symbol of LOVE

  12. Rhythm • The alternation of stressed and unstressed syllables in language.

  13. Rhyme • The repetition of vowel sounds in accented syllables and all succeeding syllables. –listen, glisten or chime , sublime • Internal Rhyme: when words within the same line of poetry have repeated sounds. • End Rhyme: refers to rhyming words at the end of lines. • The pattern of rhymes in a poem is called rhyme scheme. • Rhyme scheme: is commonly indicated with letters of the alphabet, each rhyming sound represented by a different letter of the alphabet.

  14. Rhyme- Edgar Allen Poe- Eldorado • “had journeyed long, sing a song” • “But he grew old, this night so bold” • “fell as he found, no spot of ground” • “and, as his strength, failed him at length” • “shadow, said he, where can it be” • Those are some lines out of the poem Eldorado by Edgar Allen Poe

  15. Meter • A pattern of stressed or unstressed syllables in poetry. • The meter of a poem is commonly indicated by using the symbol (‘) for stressed syllables and the symbol (`’) for unstressed syllables. • This is called scanning the poem.

  16. Alliteration- Henry Longfellow • The repetition of the same or similar consonants sounds in words that are close together. • Alliteration is used to create musical effects and to establish mood. • “The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow • - But the sea, the sea in darkness calls, repetition of the s sound

  17. Onomatopoeia • The use of word whose sound imitates or suggest its meaning. • The word buzz is onomatopoeic because it imitates the sound it names

  18. Assonance-Henry Longfellow • The repetition of similar vowel sounds followed by different consonant sounds, especially in words close together. • Notice the repeated sounds of I in these lines from “The Tide Rises, Tide Falls” by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.

  19. Consonance • The repetition of the same or similar final consonant sounds on accented syllables or in important words. • The words tick tock and singsong contains examples of consonance.

  20. Henry David Thoreau • My belief about this author that he is a romance about nature. • Wants his readers to be creative, rethink things and ask questions. • Cares about how others think • To look to nature for a great intensity and a meaning in life. • Henry David Thoreau is a loving and caring person!!

  21. Moby Dick- Herman Melville • Moby Dick is important for today's life because it’s a legend. This story is still popular today because it was wrote a long time ago. Moby Dick is a true story. • Moby Dick was a horror story and Melville wrote romantically about nature. The nature I’m referring to is ocean and ocean creatures.

  22. Edgar Allen Poe- The Raven • One of the most famous poems ever written • Narrative poem with a story line that leads the reader from curiosity to horror. • Poem explores one aspect of the dark side of human nature • “that species of despair which delights in self-torture”.

  23. Henry David Thoreau-Life in Woods • You can imagine yourself in the woods near a pond. • It gives people more excitement because they can compare themselves to the life they have now and the life of the story. • You can relate to this story somehow, you could love nature just like Henry David Thoreau does.
