ANALYZE LITERARY TEXTS AS EXPRESSIONS OF INDIVIDUAL OR COMMUNAL VALUES MS. KIM JUDYAWON, LPT English 9  WHAT IS POETRY? Poetry is a garden nourished by the soil of imagination and tended with the care of language’s artistry. Poetry is a magic type of literature.  ELEMENTS OF POETRY Imagery Form Sound devices Figurative language Theme Context  IMAGERY Descriptive language that appeals to the senses TACTILE GUSTATORY VISUAL OLFACTORY AUDITORY TYPES OF IMAGERY  VISUAL Visual imagery is description that stimulates the eyes. When you can visualize the colors, shapes, forms, and aesthetics of something that’s described to you, the writer is employing visual imagery. Example: The sky was a clear azure, dotted with fluffy, white clouds.  AUDITORY Auditory imagery is description that stimulates the ears. When you can hear sounds like nature, machinery, or someone’s voice, it’s because of the description employed in the author’s auditory imagery. Example: “The leaves rustled in the wind, whispering secrets as we passed.”  TACTILE Tactile imagery is description that stimulates your sense of touch. Sensations like itching, stickiness, and the warmth of sunlight all count as tactile imagery, which appeals to the way your skin might feel in that moment. Example: The soft fur of the kitten brushed against my skin.  OLFACTORY Olfactory imagery is description that stimulates the nose. By describing the peculiarities of a scent—its richness, weight, distinctness, or physical effect—the author transports the reader through the use of olfactory imagery. Example: As soon as I entered home, it smelled like chocolate.  GUSTATORY Gustatory imagery is description that stimulates the tongue. Gustatory imagery captures a flavor’s richness, acidity, earthiness, sweetness, bitterness, harshness, etc. Example: The juicy apple tasted tangy and sweet.  FORM Structure of design How it rhymes Rhythm of the words How the lines are grouped into stanzas How it looks on the page  LINE It is the basic unit of poetry, often characterized by its length, rhythm, and arrangement on the page.  STANZA A group of lines in poetry. Units that give structure to a poem.  To Josephine LINE By: Jose Rizal Josephine, Josephine Who to these shores have come Looking for a nest, a home, STANZA Like a wandering swallow; UNDER LINE METER Structured pattern of stressed (the emphasis is in the first syllable) and unstressed(the emphasis is in the second syllable) syllables in a line. Provides the basic rhythmic structure of a verse. TYPES OF METER *Iambic Pentameter *Trochaic Meter *Anapestic Meter *Dactylic Meter UNDER LINE IAMBIC PENTAMETER In poetry, a line of verse composed of 10 syllables arranged in 5 metrical feet, each of which consists of an unstressed syllable followed by stressed syllable. EXAMPLE: The night reveals its secrets to the sky. The night | reveals | its sec | rets to | the sky. UNDER LINE TROCHAIC METER Is a two syllable metrical pattern in poetry in which a stressed syllable is followed by an unstressed syllable. Example: POET The stressed syllable of “po” followed by the unstressed syllable “et”. UNDER LINE ANAPESTIC METER Is a style of poetic verse in which every third beat-or syllable- is stressed. Examples: com-pre-HEND con-tra-DICT un-der-FOOT UNDER LINE DACTYLIC METER a stressed syllable followed by two unstressed syllables. Examples: HAP-pi-ly PO-e-try FO-llo-wing UNDER LINE RHYME SCHEMES Pattern of rhymes at the end of each line of a poem Usually described using letters to denote which lines rhyme with each other. TYPES OF RHYME *ABAB *AABB *ABBA UNDER LINE ABAB The first and third lines rhyme with each other and the second and fourth lines rhyme with each other. Example Roses are red (A) Violets are blue (B) Sugar is sweet (A) And so are you (B) UNDER LINE AABB The first two lines rhyme with each other and the next two lines rhyme with each other. Example: Twinkle, twinkle, little star (A) How I wonder what you are (A) Up above the world so high (B) Like a diamond in the sky (B) UNDER LINE ABBA The first and fourth lines rhymes with each other and the second and third lines rhyme with each other.

Example: Silent stars softly shine, Silver streams serenely scribe.  CONSONANCE Repetition of the consonant sounds from anywhere in the word, not only at the beginning. Example: Waves rave cave’s echo  ASSONANCE Repetition of vowel sound from anywhere in the word. Example: Breeze through leaves, Serene and free, Eve’s sweet ease, beneath the trees. FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE Adds depth, nuance, and emotion to poetry by going beyond literal meanings. (Simile, Metaphor, Personification Hyperbole)  SIMILE Is rhetorical device used to compare two things using the words “like”, “as” or “than”. It is a direct comparison. Example: Ma’am Kim is as beautiful as Kianna Dy and Nadine Lustre.  METAPHOR Used to make a comparison, but in a way different from a simile. It makes the comparison as if it was literally true. It is an implied comparison. Examples: *He is lion when he comes to the field. *Ma’am Kim has a heart of gold.  PERSONIFICATION Means giving human qualities to something that is not human. You can use personification when describing nature, everyday objects, or even abstract concepts such as love or death.  PERSONIFICATION Examples: *The sun kissed me while I was clicking a picture. *The flowers danced to the wind. *I felt like the food kept calling me.  HYPERBOLE Is a rhetorical device that is mainly used to make something look and sound a lot better than it actually is. In other words, it can be said to be a form of exaggeration.  HYPERBOLE EXAMPLES: *I’m so hungry, I could eat an elephant. *It took forever to climb the hill. *My legs felt like jelly after riding the roller coaster.  THEME The central idea, message, or underlying meaning of a poem is often expressed through recurring images, symbols, or motifs.  CONTEXT Biographical Context Historical Context Socio- Cultural Context BIOGRAPHICAL CONTEXT It includes the life experiences, background, beliefs and personal history of the writer. Understanding the writer’s biography can provide insights into the motivations, emotions, and perspectives behind their poems. HISTORICAL CONTEXT Refers how the time period, events, and societal conditions in which a poet lived influenced their work. Helps readers understand how societal changes, political events, or cultural shifts may have influenced the poet’s perspective and message.
