[Insert Clever Tilte Here]
Choose one of the poems we've read this week and analyze its structure. How is the poem organized? What about the rhyme scheme? What about its length? How do all of these ideas contribute to the meaning of the poem?
The Poem I chose to do the post on was "The Three Ravens.The first to stanzas are complicated, I couldn't tell if it was just one stanza of seven lines or one stanza of four lines and another of three and then the rest were two line stanzas. The rhyme scheme was a b a b a a b c c d d e e f f g g h h i i j j k k, Or at least thats what I think it is and in total the whole poem was 25 lines and I guess in a way the first two stanzas were longer because it was a way to introduce the story. The two line stanzas were made to put emphasis on each of the sentences because if it was all put into a paragraph or wouldn't sound important.

yes the stanzas do give emphasis and so does the hyperbole and personification because it gives time a voice of what it thinks about the lovers.
ReplyDeleteThe raven was a pretty awesome poem and its true the longest stanzas are saying the story and the shortest are to emphasize the meaning of the poem
