It is best to know the branches of literature since it evolves and involves our everyday life that connects individuals with larger truths and ideas in a society as it creates a way for people to record their thoughts and experiences that is accessible to others, through fictionalized accounts of the experience.
As with narrative, there are "elements" of poetry that we can focus on to enrich our understanding of a particular poem or group of poems. These elements may include, voice, diction, imagery, figures of speech, symbolism and allegory, syntax, sound, rhythm and meter, and structure. While we may discuss these elements separately, please keep in mind that they are always acting simultaneously in a story. It is difficult, for example, to discuss voice without talking about imagery, sound, meter, diction and syntax. Above all, these elements reveal something about the poem's "theme," meaning, or function.
Voice: Speaker and Tone-
As DiYanni notes, tone refers to the poet's "implied attitude toward its subject. Tone is an abstraction we make from the details of a poem's language: the use of meter and rhyme; the inclusion of certain kinds of details and exclusion of other kinds; particular choices of words and sentence pattern, of imagery and of figurative language" (479). A poem could convey reverence toward its subject, or cynicism, fear, awe, disgust, regret, disappointment, passion, monotony, etc. Tone has a great deal to do with meaning, for a description of a parent would be radically different depending on a poet's attitude toward that parent.
Diction, Imagery, Figures of Speech, Symbolism and Allegory-
Simply put, diction refers to word choice and is intimately related to imagery and figures of speech because a poet chooses a word to achieve a certain sensory, emotional, or intellectual effect. Choosing "wandered," for example, suggests something different than, say, "walked around," "shuffled," "drifted," "floated," etc., for each word suggests a different attitude, image, or connection. Your job is to explore the possibilities, always broadening the meaning and linking it with other words and images. For example, placing words in new contexts creates metaphors, for the word suggests one meaning and the context another.
As noted earlier, word choices creates images, the "concrete representation of a sense impression, feeling, or idea. Images may invoke our sight, hearing, sense of smell and taste, and tactile perceptions." Imagery refers to a pattern of related details. When images form patterns of related details that convey an idea or feeling beyond what the images literally describe, we call them metaphorical or symbolic. The details suggest one thing in terms of another. For example, images of light often convey knowledge and life, while images of darkness suggest ignorance or death. This leap from one image to its symbolic counterpart is based on an interpretive act and must be done in context. For example, white is usually associated with purity, cleanliness, and virginity, but in Moby Dick the great whale is white and suggests absolute evil, but the use that symbolic color is consistent within the novel. Figures of speech refer to special kinds of language use.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

Definition of MetaphorDefinition of Metaphor
• A metaphor is a comparison that says one
thing is something else.
• Literally, it is not!
Her laugther is a
gentle song.
Metaphors are similar to
similes, but make a
comparison instead of
actually suggesting that
two things are
essentially the same.

"Because I could not stop for Death,
He kindly stopped for me;
The carriage held but just ourselves
And Immortality.
We slowly drove, he knew no haste,
And I had put away
My labor, and my leisure too,
For his civility."...

All the world’s a stage,
And all the men and women
merely players;
They have their exits and their
entrances;
As You Like It
— William Shakespeare, As You Like It
This quote is a metaphor because the world is not literally a stage.
By figuratively asserting that the world is a stage, Shakespeare
uses the points of comparison between the world and a stage to
convey how the world works and the lives of the people within it.
