6th grade. Simile in Poetry
Basic 6th grade introductory lesson on recognizing and using similes when reading and writing poetry.
Alliteration, assonance, and consonance
Consonance is the repetition of consonant sounds within words, often at the beginning. Edgar Allan Poe used consonance effectively in "The Raven" through repeated 's' sounds and 'f' sounds. Assonance involves the repetition of vowel sounds, often found in poetry to create internal rhymes, like in Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem "Travel." Dr. Seuss employs both consonance and assonance to create rhyming couplets with repeated long 'e' sounds in "West Beast East Beast." Alliteration specifically refers to the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words, as shown in Edgar Allan Poe's example from "The Raven."
metaphor and simile
Metaphor and simile are figures of speech that create comparisons. A metaphor directly states that one thing is another, like "her laughter is a gentle song," while a simile uses "like" or "as" to draw a comparison, such as "her eyes are like jewels sparkling in the sky." Both techniques make writing more vivid and interesting by presenting things in a new light. Examples from literature, such as Shakespeare's metaphor comparing the world to a stage, demonstrate how metaphors and similes enhance creative works.

Seven Ages By William Shakespeare
This model of the seven stages of life is an important conceptual tool formulated by WIILIAM SHAKESPEARE to clarify, and so help others to similarly understand, the spiritual implications of all the individual and collective expressions of human experience and knowledge. The following paragraphs will provide a general introduction to this unique model.
Reflexive Pronouns
Reflexive pronouns are used when the subject and object of a sentence are the same person or thing. The document lists reflexive pronouns for each person and number and provides examples such as "I saw myself in the mirror" where myself reflects the subject I. Reflexive pronouns can also be used for emphasis, as in "I myself faxed the report to him." While reflexive pronouns reflect nouns, intensive pronouns like myself intensify nouns. A reflexive pronoun alone, such as herself, can mean "alone."

"My Mistress' Eyes Are Nothing Like the Sun": Hidden Lovers in Shakespeare's ...
This document analyzes themes in some of Shakespeare's sonnets related to pagan sun worship, environmental issues, and humanity's interaction with fossil fuels. It argues that sonnets like 7, 10, 15, and the famous 130 contain subtle references and allegories related to these themes. For example, sonnet 7 uses religious language to describe the sun's journey that could indicate Shakespeare's own changing religious views. Sonnet 10 echoes a line from Hamlet that refers obliquely to coal smoke pollution. The "fair young man" addressed in the sonnets represents mankind, and exhortations to procreate or reform may carry deeper messages about environmental stewardship.
