Poetry
Allegory--A form of narrative in which people, places, and events seem to have hidden meanings. Often a retelling of an older story.
Connotation--The implied meaning of a word.
Denotation--The dictionary definition of a word.
Diction--Word choice and usage (for example, formal vs. informal), as determined by considerations of audience and purpose.
Figurative Language--The use of words to suggest meanings beyond the literal. There are a number of figures of speech. Some of the more common ones are:
- phor--Making a comparison between unlike things without the use of a verbal clue (such as "like" or "as").
- Simile--Making a comparison between unlike things, using "like" or "as".
- Hyperbole--Exaggeration
- Personification--Endowing inanimate objects with human characteristics
Imagery--A concrete representation of a sense impression, a feeling, or an idea which appeals to one or more of our senses. Look for a pattern of imagery.
- Tactile imagery--sense of touch.
- Aural imagery--sense of hearing.
- Olfactory imagery--sense of smell.
- Visual imagery--sense of sight.
- Gustatory imagery--sense of taste.
Rhythm and Meter--Rhythm is the pulse or beat in a line of poetry, the regular recurrence of an accent or stress. Meter is the measure or patterned count of a poetry line (a count of the stresses we feel in a poem's rhythm). The unit of poetic meter in English is called a "foot," a unit of measure consisting of stressed and unstressed syllables. Ask yourself how the rhythm and meter affects the tone and meaning.
Sound--Do the words rhyme? Is there alliteration (repetition of consonants) or assonance (repetition of vowels)? How does this affect the tone?
Structure--The pattern of organization of a poem. For example, a sonnet is a 14-line poem usually written in iambic pentameter. Because the sonnet is strictly constrained, it is considered a closed or fixed form. An open or free form is a poem in which the author uses a looser form, or perhaps one of his or her own invention. It is not necessarily formless.
Symbolism--When objects or actions mean more than themselves
