Language is the most important communicating method used all around the world, the use of language was studied deeply by different scientists who made several theories for its distinguished usage. Questions such as; what is creative language? Why some particular literary work better than other and more literary value? First of all let us define creative language, which is a special type of language that reflects the writer's skill to create an infinite number of sentences that link writer's thoughts with our thoughts (Maybin and Swann 12). The start of human analysis for the literary text was very simple which the opinions were the only way to know why literary work B better than literary work A, but in 384-322 BC Aristotle in his …show more content…
The fairies poem has a regular and strong rhyme scheme abcbdefe, and it's organized in four lines (quatrains) that increased to eight and twelve lines, the rhyme-scheme may look normal, but it's more powerful than it looks; because any change in word order it will change into couplets. Moreover, the fairies displaying a trochaic foot, which means a stressed syllable followed by an unstressed syllable, for example up (stressed) the (unstressed) airy (stressed) mountain (unstressed), also the fairies display empty feet which mean there are missing occasionally on the line to present some monotony. What is making the fairies poem more literary is the internal rhyme (assonance – alliteration), alliteration refer to the repetition of the same letter or sound at the beginning of words in the sentence, for example high and hill, in the other hand assonance, refer to the repetition of a pattern of a same sound in the sentence, for example frogs- dogs, airy- rushy (Watson, Asbee, Swann 124). In addition that the fairies use figurative language like metaphor and personification, William Allingams use metaphor in sentence “they lived in crispy pancakes” (McGough, Moxley 7), he compares between fairy's house and pancake to create some comic effect, also Allingams use personification to give the fairies humans characterization, they wear caps and jacket like humans but
Literature throughout history has evolved due to events occurring during those times. It has changed in a deductive fashion going from creator to creation. In the early times Native Americans wrote myths of how the world had been created, next Puritans wrote of the drama in their communities and how they affected with each other, finally, transcendentalism focused on a singular person's ideas and point of view. It is important to be able to understand all levels of life from broad ideas to a singular person. Understanding not only how the world works but also how to get along with others and who you are as a person is crucial in this society. Literature from many time periods all attribute to these subjects. Literature
The fluency of the first three groups of lines in a poem being an 'AABA' rhyming big plan/layout/dishonest plan and winter setting guesses (based on what's known) the hypnotic state of the speaker that has been caused by the woods. Frost shows a good example of the speakers want to escape responsibilities through the unbroken curve of rhythm in the second line as it shows/represents the flirty nature of the "farmhouse near" in the woods. It is through frost (existing as a perfect living example of something/creating a living representation of something) the horse through "my little horse must think it queer" which overshadows the unusual behaviour of the speaker as the speaker thinks things over carefully whether to enter the attractive woods- this is just like in Big World where winton uses the mother's (way of seeing things / sensible view of what is and is not important) to give/discuss something the reality of the (person telling the story)'s friendship with Biggie. The horse is also (existing as a perfect living example of something/created a living representation of something) as a symbol of warning to the speaker of the need to stay on task (even though there is the existence of) tempting other choices. However, the scary language such as 'darkest evening' brings across that the speaker is being
It appears that the witches use the language to confuse the characters and send them away from righteousness. Rhyme scheme appears six times between lines four and twenty-eight. For example, the last word in both lines nine and ten rhymes as “sail” rhymes with “tail,” as if predicting that the sailor’s trip will end up in disaster. Moreover, the last word in both lines nineteen and twenty rhyme as “hay” rhymes with “day,” as if suggesting that the sailor’s future will be dry and will not see the next day. Finally, in lines twenty-six and twenty-seven, the last words “lost” and tost” also rhyme, suggesting the demise of the sailor. Thus, the rhyme scheme highlights the cruel aspirations of the witches. It also reminds one of the ancient spells that witches cast upon humans.
...ration, onomatopoeia, rhyme etc. One of the sound types I will be looking at is Full or perfect rhyme. This sound type is significant as in Dulce Et Decorum Est at the end of each sentence rhymes with the one before the last. This is significant as when reading this poem you notice this rhyming scheme and take more time to stop and ponder over the significance of the language it is based around and what connotations that word has: “Bent double, like old beggars under sacks” and “Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs”. This is one of the most effective rhyming schemes in the poem. Due to every second line rhyming this makes your remember what the poet was trying to put across in the previous lines as all the different lines have a way of tying in with one another.
This is a lyrical poem because it strays away from tragic emotion. For example, "And frogs in the pools singing at night" (3) shows a type of personification by giving the animal the ability to sing. This metaphor, "Robins will wear their feathery fire" (5) is saying that nature creatures will keep doing what they do and continue looking the same. There is another personification that goes by "And spring herself, when she woke at dawn, would scarcely know that we were gone" (11-12) this is giving spring season characteristics.
One of the most used literary devices within this poem include alliteration and assonance. “He was floppy and sloppy and skinny and tall”, this shows one of the many examples of assonance found in this poem. Here the author used the sound -y for floppy, sloppy, and skinny. “I'll tell you the story of Cloony the Clown who worked in a circus that came through town”. This line displays an example of alliteration in the poem, the author uses the letter ‘C’ frequently in the sentence. The author uses assonance
The author of the poem relies a multiple combination of uses of figurative language including using alliteration, assonance, and usage of parallel structure. Alliteration was presented multiple times through the poem, with the usage of musical rhythm and the flow of the overall writing. The usage of alliteration made every stanza stand out to create a flow with reading the poem. The first type of alliteration that is present in the poem is the repeated sounds in the beginning
This poem has 10 stanzas and this poem uses rhymes he uses rhymes in just about every sentence but because it’s a short poem there isn’t a-lot of rhymes in the poem.This poem uses repetition at the end of the poem it says And miles to go before i sleep And miles to go before i sleep two times at the end and it rhymes with the times the writer says it in the story.And the figurative language that is in the poem are Similes,and metaphors this poem has allegory in the it it’s being compared to
...ur lines each. Each line ends with a vertical line that marks the feet. The rhyme isn't but there is rhyme in this poem like "Me" rhymes with "Immortality" and, farther down the poem, with "Civility" and "Eternity." This poem repeated the phrase, "We passed," which is changed a bit in the fifth stanza to, "We paused." This repetition of a word or phrase throughout a poem is called anaphora. The use of these poetic elements allows the words to flow as they describe an event.

Literature is a area the Greeks made the biggest contribution. One evidence is the Alphabet. The Alphabet is something that is still going on today. This started when the Greeks started the alphabet.
These fairy tale poems inform us with a few stories of how a princesses or princes becomes Royal or not. In the other versions of these poems they consist of enchanted worlds and perfect finales where the princess usually goes from rags to riches. They have fooled us to believe that the world we live in is far from imperfect, which does not give us a realistic view on how cruel our society can actually be or how difficult it can be to even be considered royal. What we have seen on TV or read in fairy-tale books has given us false hope on how the world and the human beings are perceived because both can be assumed as innocent. Young kids have been kept from poems that focus on the less dreamlike side and more on the dark side.
This interpretation challenges the work of those critics who long assumed that literature was described through its identity as “imaginative writing” because it broadens the definition to fit texts that are situated in reality as well (Eagleton, 2). Literature’s use of language makes readers aware of its presence as an artistic text through the formal elements that “transforms and intensifies ordinary language” (Eagleton, 2). This means that the definition of literature is determined through the aesthetic linguistic qualities as they differ from regular discourse, classifying both through the form of the other. Through formal literary devices such a “sound, imagery,” and “rhythm”, texts are removed from their counterpart of regular speech and made strange (Eagleton, 3). This abnormal use of language allows for literature to move away from the efficiency of regular speech in the sense that ideas within texts require a perceptual effort of comprehension to occur (Shklovsky, 4). By contrast, normal speech patterns are more efficient due to the fact that they are “habitual” and do not require the users to think deeply about what is being said (Shklovsky, 5). In other words, these artistic works force the reader to work to understand the ideas that are embedded within the pieces reinforcing their status as literature through
Next, we shall evaluate the key features of language which are; communicative, arbitrary, structured, generative, and dynamic. Communicative, language can allow one to interact with another. According to Willingham (2007), the bond found with the elements in language and what they mean is arbitrary. The way language is set up shows how the symbols are not arbitrary. The set up language shows precisely how intricate it can be. Generative, one is able to build countless number of meanings from words. Dynamic, language never stays the same, therefore it can be known as sporadic. According to Willingham (2007), changes are being made all the time as new words get added and as the ways of grammar change. These elements can be quite critical when it comes to language.
When the term “literature” crossed the mind, one may immediately think of a classical definition of literature. Large libraries with stacks upon stacks of books may enter the mind. However, literature in the broad, informal sense can be traced back much further. In order to trace the evolution of literature, the evolution of human communication must first be considered. For thousands of years, humans have told stories through verbal and written communication. The first written communications are attributed to drawings on writings on prehistoric cave walls. Many of these works however are not considered true literature. Epic of Gilgamesh is one of the earliest known literary works and dates to around 2000 BC in Mesopotamia.
