Repetition In Carl Sandburg's Grass

is a lot of repetition in the poem, " Tiger." is repeated in the opening

In doing so, this adds another level to the message of the poem. To further illustrate, the first two lines of the poem are “When I was one-and-twenty/ I heard a wise man say,” and then the first lines of the final stanza say “When I was one-and-twenty/ I heard him say again.” The rhythm of these two lines is similar and the meaning is similar as well. The repetition gives the poem an almost “nursery rhyme” feel;the author is trying to give the message of the poem to the reader through a simple rhyme format that’s easy to follow and

There are many examples of repeated events in Beloved, but there are also just as many examples of repeated words, phrases and objects. One of the first examples of repeated words in the book is on page 38. Paul D says “Red heart” several times during an intimate time with Beloved. This point in the story is significant

Edgar repeats the word stealthily in the following sentence: “So I opened it – you cannot imagine how stealthily, stealthily – until at length, a single dim ray, like the thread of a spider, shot from out the crevice and fell upon the vulture eye.” This repetition proves to the reader who the man’s mental state is deteriorating. In the next sentence, the word very is repeated. “I moved it slowly – very, very slowly so that I might not disturb the old man’s sleep.” This example of repetition shows the reader how careful the narrator was while moving the lantern. These are a few ways Edgar Allan Poe used repetition to create

On the surface, repetition is used for conveying White Lady’s greediness. Repetition first appears in the first to third lines of the poem, where the word “wants” is at the start of each. If Clifton wanted to illustrate how desperately White Lady wished to take away people’s loved ones, why didn’t she utilize any other synonyms? For example, she could’ve used “wants” in the first line, “desires” in the second, and “pines for” in

The uses of repetition in a poems or song are important for several reasons. First, the writer is trying to catches the reader’s attention but also trying to make a point in his/her poem or song. In the song Play it Again Luke Bryan catches the reader’s attention when he repeats line eighteen, nineteen, and the last stanza saying “Play it again, play it again, play it again.” The write catches the reader’s attention and makes a point that they want that song to be played again. For instance they want to dance once again with each other they are begging the DJ to play that song again because it is their song. In this song the word she and I were also repeated many times and often would start each line. Luke did this because he is stating that this song is about her and him. On the other hand,

Repetition is restating an idea by using the same words. For example, “The wrath of God” and by that it expressed God’s hatred towards sinners. Another example of repetition is “Mere pleasure of God”. “Mere pleasure of God” means God will be made aware and will take action to what is happening or to what has happen. They are multiple examples of repetition used by Jonathan Edwards in Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God.

In The Handmaid's tale, Margaret Atwood uses repetition in her writing to emphasize meaning. For example, on page 72, it says, "Her fault, her fault, her fault, we chant in unison." This event occurs when the handmaids are in “testifying” and Janine is telling the story of how she was Gang raped at the age of 14 and had an abortion. Aunt Helena is humiliating her by making the other handmaids chant things like, “She did,” or, “crybaby,” as well as other things on this page. Repetition is one of the literary devices that Margaret atwood uses in her writing.

One of the major literary devices that Sandburg uses throughout the poem is repetition. Repetition is used in this poem to show the importance of words or phrases throughout the entirety of the poem to convey the message. The phrase “They

In the poem "The Race" by Sharon Olds, there is meaning in her words because of her diction. She uses imagery and repetition to add meaning to her poem to demonstrate how she feels anxious. Repetition helps add emphasis to the poem. In lines 3-5, she repeats the line "the flight was cancelled", to demonstrate her anxiety of her not being able to visit her father. This helps give the audience a sense that everything is chaotic.

We can find a frequent repetition of one word or more in Alfred Tennyson's poem: "Rode the six hundred", the poet uses this repetition of the words 'six hundred'. This repetition of the words is used exclusively to create an impact on the readers and leaves them in awe. The reader sees the words 'six hundred' and realizes at how many people were actually fighting on the battle. Tennyson continued to use the phrase but also changed the words that go with it: "Not the six hundred" "Left of six hundred" "Noble six hundred." This makes this line unforgettable for

There are certain events that had occurred in our lives that we try to forget; however, no matter how hard we can try to block out that certain memory it will still always be there. In the Grass, a poem by Carl Sandburg, it is describing exactly just that. It talks about how certain places where bodies were piled up due to war, are now not even recognizable. By using parallelism in the poem, it adds emphasis on what the grass has done to hide the memory of the past.

The repetition of phrases creates emphasis and focus on those points and makes it easier for the audience to understand the main points. The repetition effectively develops the tone of urgency as it evokes the audience’s desire to change society’s standards. In his speech, King states “Go back to Mississippi, go back to Alabama, go back to South Carolina, go back to Georgia, go back to Louisiana, go back to the slums and ghettos of our northern cities,” This example of anaphora develops the tone of urgency as he is begging them to go back to the cities and make a difference. By naming several states, it develops the urgency because it makes the audience realize that this issue is occurring everywhere and it will continue unless it is stopped. Also, by naming the states it creates a feeling of responsibility for the audience because he is naming states that those specific people live in. People will usually feel responsible and be more willing to help when it involves one’s

Episodic memory is the ability to remember incidents in one individual’s life with detached information and then recall it later as conscious re-experiences. It is said that this trait is unique to humans, acting as a distinguishing criteria between human beings and other animals. Many use this information to justify some of the studies and experiments that use animals as subjects, such as the chimp raising studies like the one written about in Fowler’s we are all completely beside ourselves. However, Fowler’s character, Fern the chimp, displays the ability to remember pieces of her early life with the Cooke family, and reacts to multiple family members later on the novel. It is also no secret that animals who are rescued often show signs of PTSD, occasionally having flashbacks when put in situations that remind them about their life before rescue.

Throughout writing experiences, I explored different writing forms and employing different literary devices. While I did use repetition, it was not as obvious or filled the whole prose of the poem, rather it was chosen more carefully and placed strategically. By doing so, it did not allow for room to truly appreciate the art of repetition. Imitating Stein, allowed me to explore different simple subjects as the center of the poem and allowing thoughts and feelings about the subject to flow, rather than exhausting the idea of the subject. Writing in the style of Stein made me explore the beauty of simple objects and not exhausting it and damaging the art of
