Literary Devices
This document defines and provides examples of several literary devices:
- Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words. An example is "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers."
- Anaphora is the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of consecutive sentences to reinforce a point or add coherence, like in Winston Churchill's famous speech.
- A metaphor is a direct comparison between two unlike things, such as "All the world's a stage." An extended metaphor runs through several lines or an entire work.
- A simile directly compares two things using "like" or "as," for example "She is as beautiful as a sunrise."

Reading Poetry: Getting Through Difficult Passages
This document provides strategies for understanding difficult passages in poetry. It discusses using context clues and dictionaries to determine the meaning of unknown words. It also recommends selectively rereading poems, answering and generating questions about the themes, images, and literary devices, and visualizing what is described to aid comprehension. The strategies are then applied to the poem "Deer Hit" by Jon Loomis to help readers analyze and understand the work.
What Are Images
Images in poetry appeal to the five senses by creating mental pictures, actions, or impressions through words or phrases. While images are often visual, in poetry they can describe what is seen, heard, smelled, tasted, or touched. To identify images, one should read poems and take note of how many sensory experiences are described.

Summarizing a Poem
- 2. When we summarize a poem—or any other text for that matter—we rewrite it in our own words, reducing it to its key points, its most important information.
- 3. A graphic organizer such as a linear string chart is one way to help you summarize a poem.
- 4. We will now see an example of a linear string chart summary of E.E. Cummings poem, “10” (Maggie and Milly and Molly and May). Click on the starfish to go to the poem.
- 5. First, the four girls go to the beach to play. Maggie finds a seashell, and she listens to the sound it makes. Milly finds and helps a starfish. A crab chases Molly, and frightens her May finds a smooth stone and takes it home. Finally, the speaker concludes by making a profound statement: that going to the sea is a way to get in touch with who we really are.
- 6. Now that you have read the poem and seen a summary done using a linear string chart, choose a poem, and try it yourself.
