Where is a pun used in The Poet X?

English
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]2 years ago
3 0

Some examples of a pun are:

  • Santa Claus' helpers are known as subordinate Clauses
  • She had a photographic memory but never developed it, etc

<h3>What is a Pun?</h3>

This refers to the figure of speech that is used to show the double meaning of a word which can either be as a result of homophones or their different meanings in different situations.

Hence, we can see that the poem The Poet X was written by Elizabeth Acevedo and some of the major themes that she used there included:

  • self-acceptance,
  • sexism,
  • sexuality,
  • rejection of religion

A pun is useful to show double meanings

An explanation of the first pun example above is the double meaning of Santa "Claus" and "dependent clause" as they are both homophones.

Read the dialogue from Act III of Hamlet. Hamlet: Now, mother, what’s the matter? Gertrude: Hamlet, thou hast thy father much of
Oxana [17]

The correct answer is Queen Gertrude is caught between her new husband and her son.

B is definitely incorrect because his father is dead so he cannot observe his conversation; C is incorrect because Gertrude believes Hamlet should blindly follow what Claudius has to say; D is incorrect because Hamlet hates Claudius.

This leaves us with sentence A - Gertrude has just lost her husband but she remarried immediately. Now, she is torn between her son whom she loves, and her new husband, who she feels she should obey.
