Jabberwocky

The poet uses many metaphors, repetition and morbid diction to illicit the response I had to this poem. Firstly, Butson compared the emotions and internal struggles of a

Tone- Jabberwocky appears to have a somewhat humorous tone, considering the nonsensical words used, the brevity of the story, and lack of moral. There is no issue or theme addressed that can be applied as an allegory, unlike The Lorax. However, the entire story of the Lorax is rather darker and more applicable in real life, and the tone is both a call to action for the readers and also rather accusatory towards large factories and companies. However, the Jabberwocky appears to have no clear accusations or calls to action and is a vivid contrast to the dark tone of The Lorax. The Jabberwocky poem’s tone is rather ironic, because it presents a usually serious topic (Defeating a vicious beast) with nonsensical baby words, which makes the author’s intent rather humorous. The quote below showcases an action scene with these nonsense words, which changes the tone from serious too rather humorous.

Lewis Carroll (Charles Lutwidge Dodgson) was born on January 27, 1832 at Daresbury, Cheshire. He attended the Richmond Grammar School while contributing prose, poetry and drawings to a series of family magazines. Later, he moved to many different schools. Dodgson also knew mathematics really well. His academic record and mathematical skills won him the Christ Church Mathematical Lectureship in 1855. But he continued to publish his works under name, Lewis Carroll. One Of the most famous Carroll’s books is Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. Lewis Carroll also wrote poem “Jabberwocky” in 1871. “Jabberwocky” by Lewis Carroll represents theme of human and natural world. Carroll puts his hero against the beast, and it is essentially an old story of

Many poems have concepts that can be hard to grasp due to complex metaphors, figurative language, and forms of diction. Lewis Carroll takes this struggle of comprehension to an entire new level in The Jabberwocky. Although a simple story of a boy slaying a foul creature, it is formatted in a way that traps the reader inside of the nonsensical imagination of Carroll. It does not take close inspection to realize that the word choices throughout are a bit unorthodox. It does, however, take an out-of-the-box mindset to fully appreciate the imagery at work in this poem. It is proven in The Jabberwocky that words do not have to be proper in meaning or pre-existent to portray ideas.

Everyone in life needs to be tough, especially during hard times. In “Tough Alice” by Jane Yolen, Alice is very tough. The Jabberwock, an evil creature, will test how much toughness Alice has. In “Tough Alice” Yolen uses personification, similes, and imagery to show how tough Alice was.

Well, “The Lorax” and “Jabberwocky” are not all that different. They both have the use of nonsense words! “The Lorax” has many nonsense words such as “gruvvulous” and “snuvv”. Organisms have nonsense names too like “Bar-ba-loot” and “Swomee swans”. “Jabberwocky” has more use of nonsense words but still is similar to “The Lorax” in this way. Words used are “vorpal” and “gyre” and “wabe”. Organisms are also named with nonsense words for example, “Bandersnatch”, “Tumtum tree”, “Jubjub bird”. Even the title is a word not known to be! At last, a similarity! You didn’t think these stories were all that different, did you?

The poem is divided into three stanzas, each with six lines of varying lengths. The form and balance of the stanzas create a visual and formal precision. Each stanza tells of the events in a chronological sequence starting with

The characters from the Lorax and the Jabberwocky are unquestionably different indeed, like the hero from the Jabberwocky he saved people and animals. On the other hand, the Once-ler from the Lorax, he destroyed the place where the animals lived, by virtue of he was greedy and cared exceedingly a lot about money than the animals habitats. For this reason, the Jabberwock and the Lorax are very different. For one, the Lorax is a creature of light trying to save the animals and trees, but the Jabberwock is a creature of dark who is killing animals, people, and whatever it wants because it was able to. The differences between the characters in poems that can be or are similar is a great way to find the differences between the two.

One thing the two stories have in common is the way the word usage affects the story. In both The Jabberwocky and the Lorax, they use words to help the reader depict what is happening. One example from the Lorax would be, “‘I am the Lorax,’ he coughed and he whiffed He sneezed and he snuffed,” (Seuss ln. 10-11). In this quote he uses words such as whiffed and snuffled to show the reader that he is having a hard time breathing. This shows that the word usage in this story affects how the reader interprets different

FIrst we will compare the mood.In the lorax the mood is kind of sad and confident. It is sad because he cuts down all the trees and caused pollution so the animals had to leave. It was confident because the lorax speaks out for the creatures and the trees. In the jabberwocky it’s very brave and kind of creepy. It was brave when he slayed the jabberwocky. It was scary when he's explaining the creatures in the wood and the setting. So they have the bravery in common.

4. The whole poem has an apostrophe. The Jabberwock is a metaphor for the despair of having to continually count meters and create rhyme. Since the despair cannot do that itself, Carroll created a personification by turning despair into the Jabberwock.

The poem begins with two lines which are repeated throughout the poem which convey what the narrator is thinking, they represent the voice in

“The relationship between the energies of the inquiring mind that an intelligent reader brings to the poem and the poem’s refusal to yield a single comprehensive interpretation enacts vividly the everlasting intercourse between the human mind, with its instinct to organise and harmonise, and the baffling powers of the universe about it.”

"Wn a bby fst ts 2 kmnikt the wrds snd gibberish. " No one knows what the baby is trying to say. The poem, "Jabberwocky," written by Lewis Carroll, uses meaningless speech to either frustrate or amuse the reader. When trying to pronounce the nonsense words in the poem, the sounds of the words come out as gibberish. The sounds are the important element of the poem. Often, people like to hear poets read in languages they cannot understand. A woman leaving a reading by the Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz said she was glad he'd read some of his work in Polish because the language sounded exciting, like horse hooves over cobblestones.
