Metaphors
Metaphors are comparisons between two unlike things that help readers understand something in a new way.

These elements - exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, and resolution - make up the organized sequence of events in a story's plot from beginning to end.
Relative pronouns
Relative pronouns introduce relative clauses and include who, whom, which, that, and whose. Who is used to refer to people and sometimes pets. Whom is used as the object of a preposition. Which refers to animals and things. That can refer to people, animals, and things and is used instead of who, whom, or which. Whose indicates possession by people and animals.
Fables
Fables are an early form of storytelling that originated in India and were popularized by Aesop, a Greek slave from the 7th century BC. Fables typically feature animals, plants, or forces of nature with human qualities, teach a moral lesson, and reflect the culture in which they were created. For example, Native American fables often featured wolves, which symbolized different traits than foxes represented in European fables. One classic fable is "The Tortoise and the Hare," in which the hare's overconfidence causes him to lose a race to the tortoise who wins through slow and steady effort.

Sample thesis statements are included and analyzed for their strengths and weaknesses. Common pitfalls to avoid, such as vague, obvious, too broad or narrow theses, are also discussed.
Personification in Poetry Presentation
Personification is described as attributing human characteristics such as actions, feelings, or thoughts to non-human objects, animals, or abstract concepts. Examples are provided such as "the wind yelled" and "the necklace is a friend." Personification is used to make descriptions more vivid and imaginative. It is also commonly used in other mediums like advertising, music, art, and stories to create memorable anthropomorphic characters. The poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth is given as a famous example of personification.

Hyperboles provide insight into one's theories of knowledge and understanding of self. Puns are a form of word play that use multiple meanings of words or similar-sounding words for humorous effect, requiring an extensive vocabulary to understand in some cases. They have long been used by comedians and playwrights to create humor.

Examples are provided to illustrate proper uses of semi-colons and colons in writing.
Oxymoron
An oxymoron is a figure of speech that combines contradictory terms. It stops the reader and causes them to think, generating a new concept.

It notes that while the individual words have contradictory definitions, together they create a new meaning.
Irony
There are three main types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Verbal irony uses words to express something different than their literal meaning. Situational irony occurs when the actual outcome is opposite of what was expected. Dramatic irony is used in storytelling where the audience knows something characters do not, such as a character relying on deceitful people unknowingly.

1) Direct metaphors make a direct comparison using "is" or "are".
2) Implied metaphors hint at a comparison rather than stating it directly.
3) Extended metaphors continue a comparison over multiple sentences or paragraphs, like in the excerpt from "Me Talk Pretty One Day" where the author compares being taken from class to a criminal capture.

The objectives are to recognize and identify these figures of speech in poems.
Figures of speech
This document defines and provides examples of several common figures of speech:
1. Simile - A comparison between two unlike things using like or as. Examples given are "We bear her along like a pearl on a string" and "His temper was as explosive as a volcano."
2. Metaphor - An implied comparison that does not use like or as. Examples are "Camel is the ship of desert" and referring to someone as a "teddy bear."
3. Personification - Giving human traits to non-human things. Examples are "The willow tree shook her long hair" and "The angry clouds marched across the sky."
Metaphor
Metaphors are indirect comparisons between two unlike subjects using "is" that transfers attributes between the subjects. There are many types of metaphors including dead metaphors whose metaphorical meaning is no longer understood, extended metaphors that use multiple comparisons, and conceptual metaphors that shape fundamental understandings. Idioms differ in that their meanings are not related to their individual words but are adopted phrases, though some idioms can also function metaphorically by creating comparisons.
Figurative language
This document discusses different types of figurative language such as metaphor, simile, personification, hyperbole, and idioms. It provides examples and definitions for each type. Metaphors directly compare two things, stating that one thing is the other. Similes use like or as to compare two unlike things. Personification gives human qualities to non-human things. Hyperboles exaggerate for effect. Idioms are phrases with meanings different from the literal words. The document aims to explain these figurative language techniques.
Figure of speech
This document defines and provides examples of common figures of speech including similes, metaphors, hyperbole. It explains that a simile directly compares two things using like or as, a metaphor states one thing is another, and hyperbole uses exaggeration to create a strong emotional response rather than being literal. Examples like "her home was a prison" for metaphor and "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse" for hyperbole are given to illustrate each figure of speech. The purpose of figurative language is to make descriptions more vivid and use fewer words by engaging the imagination beyond the plain meaning.
Poetic devices
The document discusses different types of figurative language including simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, idioms, imagery, alliteration and onomatopoeia. It provides examples for each type and a short description of what each figurative language technique means. It also includes a quiz with sentences to identify the figurative language being used. Finally, it lists some lesson plan and resource links for teaching these different figurative language techniques.

The document discusses various types of figures of speech used in language including metaphors, alliteration, hyperboles, onomatopoeia, metonymy, euphemisms, irony, anaphora, apostrophes, puns, paradoxes, oxymorons, and assonance. Figures of speech are techniques used in writing and speech to produce rhetorical effects by using words in non-literal ways. They can make writing more engaging and help express ideas concisely.
Figures of speech
This document discusses figures of speech and provides examples of different types:
- Simile: uses "like" or "as" to compare two unlike things, such as "My love is like a red red rose."
- Metaphor: directly compares two unlike things without "like" or "as", such as "Life is a broken winged bird."
- Personification: gives human qualities to non-human things, such as "The flowers danced."
- Hyperbole: exaggerated statements not meant literally, such as "A river full of gravy."
The document then provides sentences to analyze as examples of these four figures of speech.

This document provides definitions and examples of seven common figures of speech: imagery, simile, metaphor, alliteration, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, and personification. It defines each figure of speech in 1-2 sentences and provides 2-3 examples to illustrate how each is used. The overall purpose is to help the reader recognize and identify these figures of speech in poetry and literature.
Figurative Languages or Figures of Speech
A figure of speech or rhetorical figure is figurative language in the form of a single word or phrase. It can be a special repetition, arrangement or omission of words with literal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words.
In truth, there are a wealth of these literary tools in the English language. But, let's start out by exploring some of the most common figure of speech examples.
For example,
Synecdoche:
Synecdoche occurs when a part is represented by the whole or, conversely, the whole is represented by the part.
Examples include:
Wheels - a car
The police - one policeman
Plastic - credit cards
Figurative language is often associated with literature and with poetry in particular. Whether we're conscious of it or not, we use figures of speech every day in our own writing and conversations.
Figures of speech are also known as figures of rhetoric, figures of style, rhetorical figures, figurative language, and schemes.
A figure of speech is a use of a word that diverges from its normal meaning, or a phrase with a specialized meaning not based on the literal meaning of the words in it such as a metaphor, simile, or personification. Figures of speech often provide emphasis, freshness of expression, or clarity.
Through the use of figures of speech, the author makes significant the insignificant, makes seem less important the overemphasized, brings colour and light, insight, understanding and clarity.
Figures of speech allow us to assess, interpret and critically analyze not only the writer's attempt, but also his or her purpose.
English project on ALL the needs to learn English....
This document provides an overview of various literary devices used in the English language including similes, personification, metaphors, proverbs, adages, homophones, antonyms, and homonyms. It defines each device and provides examples. Similes directly compare two objects using connecting words like "like" or "as". Personification attributes human traits to non-human things. Metaphors make comparisons without using "like" or "as". Proverbs express common truths and maxims. Adages involve memorable sayings about life. Homophones have the same pronunciation but different meanings/spellings. Antonyms are opposite in meaning, and homonyms have the same sound/spelling but different meanings.
Figurative Lang Overview
The document discusses figurative language and how it differs from literal language. Figurative language uses comparisons and descriptions to convey meaning beyond the literal, using devices like similes, metaphors, personification and idioms. Various types of figurative language are defined and examples are provided, along with resources for teaching figurative language concepts.
You may have gotten away with not annotating any words twice in the .docx
You may have gotten away with not annotating any words twice in the short fiction annotations, but you will definitely have to double annotate for the poetry annotation. For instance, a word could be a part of a metaphor, but it also could have heavy connotative meaning as well. Therefore, you would want to highlight and annotate it once for the metaphor and another time for the connotation. Then, you could possibly annotate it again for denotative meaning and/or for being an image or an example of jargon, etc. As I said before, words are chosen very carefully in poetry, and every word is packed with much more meaning than in short fiction, resulting in much more possibility for element use by the author for each word. Even pronouns can have heavy meaning.
We, unfortunately, do not have time to move into a study of sound, but that is a very important part of poetry, and you can still use it if you want to.
Alliteration
is a sound element that you have probably heard of. It is when the beginning of words share similar sounds. For instance, "car," "queen," and "cream." These words also share other sounds, like the "r" sound in "car" and "cream." That is called
consonance
, which is when words share consonant sounds. "Queen" and "cream" both share a vowel sound, which is referred to as
assonance
. Those are three easy ways to assess sound beyond the primary way of connecting words by the way they sound,
rhyming
, which occurs when a word shares two or more of these similar sounds. Sound is a very important part of poetry.
However, some poets choose to use
blank verse
or
free verse
. The difference between those is that the former has no rhyme but keeps the use of
meter
, which is regularity in the use of syllables. For instance, using five sets of two syllables in every line is called
iambic pentameter
. The groups of syllables are called i
ambs
. Poetry used to always have meter and rhyme. It began to lose rhyme and keep meter, which was blank verse, which primarily used iambic pentameter. This is what Shakespeare used in his plays. Then, as poets began to experiment heavily with form, they lost both. Poets like Walt Whitman pioneered this type of poetry, and many people argued at first that this was not true poetry. Nowadays no one would make that argument. We are used to thinking of poetry without rhyme and meter.
There are many different poetic forms that use specific types of rhyme and meter, and many poets start with and move into innovating with those forms. For instance, a
sonnet
is when a poet uses 14 lines, usually iambic pentameter, and has a volta, or a change. Depending on which type of sonnet, the volta and the rhyme scheme changes and sometimes the meter. For instance, the Shakespearean sonnet, called such because of it being used by William Shakespeare, is written in iambic pentameter, which is ten syllables in each line or five groups of iambs (two syllable groups), and has a rhyme pattern of abab–cdcd–efef–gg (.
Go figure!
This document defines and provides examples of different types of figurative language, which uses words or phrases to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. It explains that figurative language, such as metaphors, similes, personification and idioms, provide feelings or descriptions that enrich language compared to literal statements. The document outlines common forms of figurative language including imagery, metaphors, similes, alliteration, personification, onomatopoeia, hyperbole and idioms. It provides examples to illustrate each technique.
T3
The document defines and describes adjective phrases. It begins by explaining that an adjective phrase is a group of words that serves to describe a noun or pronoun, functioning like an adjective. It then provides tips for identifying adjective phrases based on the first word. Adjective phrases can be made of an intensifier and adjective or multiple adjectives. They can modify nouns or pronouns. The document also distinguishes adjective phrases from adjectival phrases and provides many examples of adjective phrases in sentences.

Poetic Devices.pptx
A poet uses words precisely to express ideas and feelings through their sounds, meanings, arrangement, and images. There are many poetic devices that help achieve these goals, including alliteration, assonance, consonance, onomatopoeia, repetition, rhyme, and more. Poetic devices relate to the sounds of words, their meanings and connotations, and how words are arranged into lines, stanzas, and forms like free verse or couplets. A poet skillfully uses these techniques to effectively communicate through the art of poetry.
Week 2 - Reading Poetry
The document discusses poetry as a form of communication that uses creative writing techniques. It defines poetry and provides tips for reading and understanding poems, such as reading poems aloud and using a dictionary. The document also covers various literary devices used in poetry like imagery, symbolism, metaphor, simile, and irony. Examples are provided to illustrate how these devices can be used to write poems.
