Add the following notes about metaphor, simile,
personification, alliteration, internal/external rhyme, repetition,
onomatopoeia to R16 Cnotes. Raven packet distributed. R17-R18 Due.
Alliteration:
Repeated consonant sounds
occurring at the beginning of words (within or at the end of words is called consonance)
Alliteration signifies
importance, makes words memorable
Example: She was wide-eyed and wondering
while she waited for Walter to waken.
Proper
alliteration is NOT a repetition of letters; it is a repetition of sound.
For example, never and
knight alliterate because they begin with the same consonant sound.
Conversely, even though tin and thank
begin with the same letter, they do not alliterate because they don’t begin
with the same consonant sound.
Onomatopoeia: Words that
mimic or sound like what they describe
Example: “woosh”, “beep”,“click”, “slither”
External Rhyme: a repetition
of identical or similar sounds in two or more different words at the end of a
line of poetry
Example:
Makes the phrase or line more
memorable The sun did not
shine. It was too wet to play.
So we sat in the house all
that cold, cold, wet day.
Internal Rhyme: A repetition
of identical or similar sounds in two or more words within a line of poetry
Example: “Once upon a
midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak, and weary.”
Repetition: Repeating words
or phrases
Used for emphasis; can unify a poem
Example:
Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn....
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn....
Emphasizes how he does not
have hope
Refrain: Repeating words or
phrases
Used for emphasis; can unify a poem
Example:
Because I do not hope to turn again
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn....
Because I do not hope
Because I do not hope to turn....
Emphasizes how he does not
have hope
Simile: A comparison of
unlike things using “like” or “as”
Example: His feet were like
boats.
Metaphor: A comparison of
unlike things without using like or as; implied through to be verbs or words
that don’t typically go together
Example: His feet were boat
Personification: giving human
characteristics to things, animals, or ideas.
Example: The wind threw me
across the playground.
From MORD: …there came
from the brazen lungs of the clock so musical a sound which was clear and loud
and deep and exceedingly musical…
