Which of the following sound devices do you see in your poem You .docxphilipnelson29183
Which of the following sound devices do you see in your poem? You may not see them all, but if your poem doesn’t at least have two, you need to pick a different poem.
Example from Poem
Explanation of the Meaning the Author is Trying to Convey
Alliteration –repetition of consonant letter at the beginning of adjacent or nearby words
Example:Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers.
Example: By repeating the “p” sound, the author is attempting to remind the reader of a riddle. The repetition indicates playfulness.
Assonance – repetition of vowel sounds within adjacent or nearby words.
Example: “Soold it is that no man knows how and why the first poems came.” -Carl Sandburg, Early Moon
Example: In this line, Sandburg uses the letter “o” to emphasize the long passage of time. The “o” is a soothing sound, and so the mood is pleasant despite the fact that Sandburg also uses words with negative connotations such as “old” and “no.”
Consonance – repetition of consonant sound with adjacent or nearby words.
Example: Pitter and patter/chuckle, fickle, kick
Example: In the first example, the repetition of the “t” sound reminds the reader of a constant, almost irritating sound like the tapping of raindrops on a pane of glass.
Onomatopoeia – words that imitate a natural sound
Example: “He saw nothing and heard nothing but he could feel his heart pounding and then he heard the clack on stone and the leaping, dropping clicks of a small rock falling.” For Whom the Bell Tolls by Ernest Hemingway
Example: The words “clack” and “click” have a harsh tone that creates feelings of fear and shock—particularly in relation to a pounding heart. It’s almost as if the “click” and “clack are mirroring the sound of the pounding heart.
Rhyme – words that agree with one another in sound. Internal rhyme occurs within the lines of poetry, and end rhyme occurs at the end of the line.
Example: Internal = “Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,” The Raven by Edgar Allen Poe
External = “A word is dead
When it is said,” A Word is Dead by Emily Dickinson
Example: The heavy sound of “d” in dreary coupled with the weaker sound of the whispery “w” combine to create a feeling of dread and helplessness.
