This one is going to seem more like homework. Let's consider that sentence an "allusion." Over the course of the next few weeks, as we thoroughly delve into poetry, we'll learn the many poetic and literary terms. Over the course of the next few weeks, as we thoroughly delve into poetry, we'll learn the many poetic and literary terms. That is called "repetition." Really rambunctious random ramblings are referred to as "alliteration." Interesting enough, the sentence, "Gnus never know pneumonia," is alliteration as well, even though each word begins with a different letter. Truly stupid things can sound beautiful, but the "truth" needs form, structure and beauty to impart its meaning or wisdom. For now, look up these three terms: allusion, alliteration, repetition. Understand them thoroughly, and in your journals define them in you own words and provide examples of the terms in poetry or in song. Again, I suggest two sites: the poetry180 site and sing365, a source that may come in handy when looking for songs to go along with yesterday's Unrequited Love Lesson.
Don't forget, the five songs are due in your journals when you turn them in in November, and the Poetry 180 Project is due October 22nd. Also, we will read "A Family Supper" together on Friday, but don't forget to look it over first by going to the link below (click the fish).
