Harriet Beecher Stowe's 'Jeremiad'

The most obvious poetic devise of this poem is the rhyming scheme. Rhyming is when there is close similarity in the final sounds of two or more words or lines of writin.

In “The Beep Beep Poem”, her structure of the poem is freely organized and she indents when she wants to. As well as in the “Kidnap Poem”, even when she didn’t finish the word she still moves to the next line. Despite didn’t fully finish writing the word, she wrote part of the word “kidnap” being “kid” in one sentence, then “nap” in the next. This technique of using free verse creates a unique arrangement of language. There are no two poems written by Giovanni that looks identical or the same, she always has a different twist and arrangement to each one which makes it special. As well as proves that there are unlimited patterns she can form in her mind, in which talks to the idea of her style being very free and uncontrolled. Furthermore, using free verse built a different structure in every poem making all of her poem different and unique in its own way just like who she is. Free verse allows the lines in the poem to fade away between long and short lines. This gives the reader a conversational writing style that she’s sharing with them.This usage of poetic features where every poems and lines is arranged differently reinforce how she’s uncontrolled and isn’t restricted to any rules, she doesn’t follow a single pattern in which emphasize her

She also presents a slight rhythm to the reading that allows for smooth reading. In keeping with her open form, there is no set scheme to the rhyme pattern. However, there is a single ending sound constantly repeated without a set pattern throughout the work. She also connects pairs of lines at random just for the sake of making connections to make that particular stanza flow. At the same time, she chose blatantly not to rhyme in certain parts to catch the reader’s attention.

1. What do you notice about this poem? (where is the repetition...remember this from Module 2 on speeches). What is different about the free verse of this poem and the rhymed poems you studied in Module 4 with Edgar Allen Poe? When you write your own poems, do you use rhyme or free verse? What I have noticed about this poem is that Whitman continuously repeats the word “singing” as he introduces all of the people, based on their occupation, from all over “America”. Whitman and Poe write about completely different things. I think that choosing between writing in free verse and rhymed depends on the subject that you are writing about. I like writing in both.

All the situations he had told in the book are true events; with that in mind it sets a new feeling for the audience to experience. Douglass explains his life in a manner that makes the reader feel every bit of emotion while reading. “Before he commenced whipping Aunt Hester, he took her into the kitchen, and stripped her from neck to waist,

For example, Night, by Elie Wiesel contrasts against A Long Way Gone : Memoirs of a Boy Soldier, by Ishmael Beah in writing style which allows both stories to more heavily emphasize an element of literature. Night chooses to more heavily highlight the events that seem more extreme in nature, causing it to be allows readers to feel as if they had the emotions of the author. For instance, one intense event that allowed the reader to synchronize in emotion with the author was when Eliezer Wiesel was whipped by the SS officer. Elie Wiesel states, “I no longer felt anything except the lashes of the whip” (Wiesel 57). Through the intensity of the cruel environment Eliezer Wiesel is put in, it allows the readers to empathize and also feel the disgust that Eliezer Wiesel felt towards the SS officer that lashed him. Whereas A Long Way Gone : Memoirs of a Boy Soldier chooses to include most events through-out the novel to increase its effectiveness in developing the author’s character. This can be seen when the write, Ishmael Beah, states, “I walked for two days straight without sleeping. I stopped only at streams to drink water. I felt as if somebody was after me” (Beah

The women overcome life’s hardships, and “the key to these women’s triumphs lies in their achievement of self-mastery” (Cane 113). According to Gregg Cane, these didactic novels are targeted at young women to instill the idea that a domestic home, marriage, and family are what construct a morally good woman. The plot is used to extract an emotional reaction from the audience. Nina Baym describes all sentimental novels as having the same plot,

Free verse is not just prose written with irregular line endings. Free verse is poetry without regular patterns of rhyme, rhythm or meter. Note: free verse has rhythm and meter. The pattern, however, is irregular. Rhythm is often created through the use of other poetic devices, including repetition, alliteration, and other sound devices. Although it is "free" of metrical restrictions, it is still patterned and unified by the conventional poetic devices of repetition, assonance, and alliteration. The article "the", ordinarily disregarded, begins seven of the eleven lines and establishes a pattern that is seen on the page and heard when the poem is given voice. Alliteration lends ear-pleasing melody in

As many people say history was written by the victors, we need to remember there would be no victors without the struggle and turmoil of those that lost.
