Answer:

Iambic pentameter originated from Shakespeare so I will use a part of a  for an example.

When we were younger we learned how to find syllables, like clapping your hands while reading etc. that is basically the same thing you would apply to iambic pentameter

Iambic pentameter has a rhythm to it. Just imagine it, bum.. boom ... so now that you know that it has a rhythm and you need to know the syllables we can try an example

Line 1) When I do count the clock that tells the time,

[ When is one syllable so that would be our bum and I is one syllable so that would be our boom..so on and so forth(each boom and bum counts as one syllable]

Line 2) And   see       the     brave   day     sunk      in        hid  -    eous   night;

          [bum]  [boom] [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom]  [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom]

 (notice hideous is two syllables )

*******IMPORTANT: Iambic pentameter will ALWAYS have 10 syllables

Brainliest! If u really helped me,(15 points) Please, I have a chart analysis English homework, what is the best way to answer c
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Hi there, if you really want to get a 100% on your English chart analysis then follow the tips below:

  • Take notes. It'll be easier to take notes and get your brain flowing to get the habit of taking notes.
  • See how other people handle a chart analysis, and learn from them.
  • Reward yourself. I know it;s very hard to sit down at a desk and just stare at your cumputer screen with books all over the place, so take a 5 minute break when you feel like it. This ISN'T a repeat condition. It's just a reward.
  • Time yourself. This is kind of the same as the 3rd one. If you think you're studying very hard and for a long time. Let's see how well you do. Set a timer and see how long you study without getting distracted..
  • Treat yourself. Do you have a favorite snack? If you do, great! I want you to get your mind flowing without getting distracted about the snack. If it's, for example, Takis, then put the bag next to your desk or table and just calm yourself down with the pressure given toward you.

These tips may be hard at FIRST, but if you keep doing it, it'll become a habit. This habit can affect your personality and mind.

(Hope this helps) Sky

Natasha2012 [34]

The poem first starts with a very happy and pleased tone, but later as we continue reading the tone turns up into a disappointment and sad one. The tone here reveals about the speaker that she had a lot of struggles and difficulties trying to learn english because she has spoken italian for her entire life.

Purple hibiscus
Umnica [9.8K]

The example of income inequality, and Global Issue, on this page is poverty and sexism. Purple Hibiscus- novel written by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie.

There is an underlying sexism at work in Papa's abuse of family. When the mother tells Kambili she is pregnant, she tells her that she miscarried a few times after Kambili was born. And there's an enormous divide between poor and wealthy, which is tragically obvious in Abba, where most of the people live in poverty while huge mansions sit empty. Purple Hibiscus explores the problems of ethnic tensions and political unrest in Nigeria as parallels for coming of age and defining identity.
