“The Chambered Nautilus”by: Oliver Wendell Holmes English III CHS C. Edge
metaphor—a figure of speech that compares two unlike things without using the words “like” or “as” • extended metaphor—develops a metaphor over a number of lines and with several examples • The life span of the nautilus is compared to the progress of the human soul
main idea — the principal message, theme, or insight—the point the poet is trying to make • spiritual growth • Look for examples in the poem that support this as the main idea. • apostrophe – a direct address to someone or something that is not present
allusion – a reference to someone or something from history, literature, religion, politics, science, or some other branch of culture • allusion to Triton • Triton is a mythological Greek god, the messenger of the sea. He is the son of Poseidon, god of the sea, and Amphitrite, goddess of the sea, whose herald he is. He is usually represented as a merman, having the upper body of a human and the tail of a fish, "sea-hued", according to Ovid[1] "his shoulders barnacled with sea-shells".
The golden ratio, also known as the divine proportion, golden mean, or golden section is a essentially a rectangle formed from the approximate ratio of 1:1.618... = (√5+1)/2. It has instrumental ties to architecture, engineering, and arts. The ratio formed from the rectangles is pleasing to the eye and can be seen in everyday life. This is also encountered when taking ratios of distances in simple geometric figures, such as the pentagram, decagon, and dodecagon.
