Ouch Clang, Bang Poem Devices
POEM ANALYSIS
I used onomatopoeia, metaphor and simile to inform my reader about myself. I wanted the central idea to come across by using these devices. I used onomatopoeia to create the way I sound most of the time. I used a metaphor to compare myself to sloth as I’m always tired and don’t get enough sleep. Finally, I used a simile to explain how I get around.
“Ouch, clang, bang” were the onomatopoeias I use to describe myself. This conveyed the central idea by telling my reader how I sound most of time when I’m walking around.
The simile I used in my poem was the get the reader’s attention on how I go about quietly and sneakily, I don’t make a lot of sound that’s why some people call me sneaky. “Sneaky like a snake I am” was used in my poem

    Similes are exploited throughout Richard Connell’s twisted and page turning story. “ Then, as he stepped forward, his foot sank into the ooze. He tried to wrench it back , but the muck sucked viciously at his foot as if it were a giant leech.” Connell’s purpose for this simile is to build a pathway into your imagination. He wanted his writing to compare to your own life. He accomplished all of this through using different people, animals, and putting the character in rare situations. He compares the quicksand to the…

    But here are three I did manage to: 1) “In shower of dirt and shale.” I think is a metaphor because it is comparing two unlike things without using the like or as. And the words that make you think it’s a metaphor is “shower of dirt and shale”. 2) “She stood behind the lunch counter, mouth clamped like an angry snapping turtle, as the children crept fearfully past.” I think this one is a simile because it’s comparing to unlike thing using the words like or as. So I knew it was a simile because it uses the words “, mouth clamped like an angry snapping…

    In the book Ice Drift, an example of figurative language is “His ears were small, like those of most other Arctic animals, offering less area to absorb the cold of forty-five degrees below zero.” In that sentence on page 5 and chapter one the author uses a simile. I know that's a simile because it uses “like” to describe the dog, Jamka to Arctic animals. This simile lets us, the reader clearly visualize Jamkaś ears. And I know what Arctic animals ears looks like but not necessarily Jamkaś ears. Why I said that is because in the definition of simile in our notes says “A comparison of two unlike I things using like or as” I think the author used a simile in this spot, because he wanted to give his audience a good visual of Jamka the dog.…

    Poetry is one of the oldest arts. Poems come in many forms from songs, ballads, and epics, to haikus. Many poets use elements like similes, metaphors, personification, rhymes, and imagery to get their themes or meanings across to the reader. In the poem “Schizophrenia”, Jim Stevens uses personification of the house to give the poem its overall meaning. Personification and symbolism are the most important poetic elements to “Schizophrenia” because they are used to describe how the house can never be the same after the effects of schizophrenia and how the house personifies and symbolizes a family and the person with schizophrenia.…

He used similes like a baker uses raisins, sprinkling them throughout his text to make it sweeter and richer. .

Also, (In line 9-10) “Therefore no marvel though Demetrius Do, as a monster fly my presence thus”. Recognizing when his characters are speaking figuratively helps in understanding the poem.…

    The narrator describes the snake and it's movements well to create the atmosphere. The use of words like silently, softly, in the beginning when he is first describing the snake and the snake's motions, serve to get us into a quiet, observing mood. Then saying the snake "mused a moment" gives us the impression that the snake is "like a king", quiet and majestic. Again, later in the poem, using words such as dreamily and slowly, projecting that quiet atmosphere.…
