Day 4 Bell Ringer: March 23 (A) & March 24 (B)

from “The Raven” by Edgar Allan Poe

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore –

While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door –

'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door –

Only this and nothing more."

1.Provide an example of external rhyme.2.Provide an example of internal rhyme.3.Identify the rhyme scheme.

Vocabulary: Using Context Clues

How the danger ebbs and flows;Yet the ear distinctly tells,In the janglingAnd the wrangling,How the danger sinks and swells,By the sinking or the swelling in the anger of the bells - Of the bells,Of the bells, bells, bells, bells,Bells, bells, bells - In the clamor and the clangor of the bells!

Teachers have often told you to use context clues to discover the meaning of unfamiliar words: this excerpt of Edgar Allen Poe’s poem “The Bells” provides an excellent opportunity for you to do just that.

Skill Review:Can you recall what we have studied in our poetry

unit thus far?What is the difference between tone and mood?What is a theme?What is rhythm?How do you identify a rhyme scheme of a poem?Do you restart the rhyme scheme after every

stanza in a poem?What is the difference between internal and

external rhyme?What is the difference between blank verse and

free verse?

Blank verse and free verse

  BLANK VERSE:  Poetry that does not have a set rhyme scheme but does follow a set meter.

Blank means the poetry is not rhymed.

It is the major verse form used in Shakespeare’s plays.

FREE VERSE:  Poetry that does not have a regular meter or rhyme scheme.

Poets writing in free verse try to capture the natural rhythms of ordinary speech.

To create its music, free verse may use internal rhyme, alliteration, onomatopoeia, refrain, and parallel structure.

Free verse does not mean rhyme cannot be used, only that it must be used without any pattern

Blank Verse example

from William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

...bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,From off the battlements of yonder tower;Or walk in thievish ways; or bid me lurkWhere serpents are; chain me with roaring bears;Or shut me nightly in a charnel-house,O’er covered quite with dead men’s rattling bones,With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls;Or bid me go into a new-made grave,And hide me with a dead man and his shroud;

Free VerseExamplesFree verse:

From Milton’s "Samson Agonistes"

But patience is more oft the exerciseOf Saints, the trial of their fortitude,Making them each his own Deliver,And Victor over allThat tyranny or fortune can inflict.

From Walt Whitman’s "Leaves of Grass"

All truths wait in all things,They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it,They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon.

Free verse with rhyme

           The Storm         by Vivian Gilbert Zabel

Lightning strikes as thunder roarsSending war across the skies.Blackness blankets light of nightExcept when fire flashes bright,Blinding eyes to truth, to right.Tears of agony rain from irate clouds,Which smother joy, bringing moansOf pain, despair, distress,Leaving open bleeding soresThat never can be healedUntil the battle endsWith God’s peace revealed. Note: although rhyme is used, there is no rhyme scheme (or pattern).

Exit Slip William Shakespeare, from the

TempestFull fathom five thy father lies;Of his bones are coral made;Those are pearls that were his

eyes;Nothing of him that doth fade,But doth suffer a sea changeInto something rich and strange.Sea nymphs hourly ring his knell;Ding-dongHark! Now I hear them—Ding

dong, bell.

1. Identify the sound device in the last two lines:

2. What is the effect of the device?

3. Write four lines of poetry, using the same device as Shakespeare used in the last two lines. Be creative and original.
