Which of these is the last step you should take when analyzing a poem?
<em>You haven't given options, so I'll give you the steps used in the USA to take when analyzing a poem.</em>

<>

Answer:

1. Read the poem aloud multiple times

  • Reading a poem aloud is necessary for analysis. It’s important to read a poem multiple times before attempting to dig for deeper meanings. Pay close attention to the rhythm and punctuation of the poem, the stressed and unstressed syllables

2. Review the title

  • The title often contains important clues for understanding the piece. After reading the poem, reflect on the title and determine how or if it relates to your understanding of the work.

3. Identify the speaker

  • The speaker is a character, just like in a novel or play. The speaker will not always reveal a name, but using context clues, you can determine the persona, point of view, and the audience the speaker is addressing.

4. Consider the mood and tone

  • Once you’ve identified the speaker, you’ll have more insight into the attitude or mood of the poem. Consider the speaker’s tone and delivery. For instance, does the speaker’s voice change throughout the piece? Is the voice active or passive? Are they speaking directly to the reader or to another character?

5. Highlight the use of poetic devices

  • eg. metaphor, simile, assonance, onomatopoeia, personification etc.

6. Try paraphrasing

  • Before writing your analysis, it may be helpful to rewrite the poem in your own words. Work through the lines of the poem one by one. Now that you’ve become familiar with the poet’s figurative language and use of poetic devices, you’ll be able to apply what you’ve learned to determine what’s at the heart of the piece.

7. Identify the theme

  • After paraphrasing, you should now have a better idea of the ideas of the poem. From those ideas, you’ll be able to create a theme. Essentially, the theme of a poem is the message the poet is trying to convey. A theme will often relate to a bigger idea or a universal truth.

In 300 words or less, identify five examples of figurative language from Anne Sexton’s ”Young” and/or Audre Lorde’s “Hanging Fir
Kay [80]

Hi there!

In the poem “Young”, Anne Sexton uses hyperbole when she writes “and probably a million leaves” and “A thousand doors ago”. When she uses the last statement, she uses an extreme exaggeration to explain what time in her life she is talking about.

She uses personification when she writes “clover wrinkling over me”, “the wise stars bedding over me”, and “yellow heat running out”. By using personification, giving human characteristics to non-humans, she writes "the wise stars bedding over me" to explain that she is outside at night, with the stars above her.

When Sexton writes "The boards on the house were smooth and white as wax", she uses imagery, concrete or abstract images that appeal to the scenes, to show that the boards on the house were smooth.

Finally, Sexton uses a simile when she says "white as wax" which means she used to like or as to compare two subjects. With this line, she compares the colour white and wax to help explain further what colour the house was.

Hope it helps!

Tasya [4]

Answer:

William Blake´s use of figurative language tells us that his hatred grew and grew as an apple tree and his enemy (his foe) stretched beneath the tree.

Explanation:

It makes us aware what bad feelings can cause in other´s peoples´ lives and in our own, if we try to conceal them or not to show them.  They will always arise in probably dangerous forms for both, the reciever and the beholder.
