Grammatically Unconventional

We know, we know – the last time you wrote a "grammatically unconventional" English paper you got a C-. Stephen Crane certainly takes liberty with the conventions of the language, going Yoda on us with sentences like these:

"Doubts and he were struggling" (11.15).

"A sputtering of musketry was always to be heard" (16.1).

"It is true that his trousers felt to him that they were no fit for his legs at all" (3.27).

"A house standing placidly in distant fields had to him an ominous look" (3.28).

Weird, right? This takes some getting used to, but it certainly marks the novel with a stylistic individuality.

In "Beat! Beat! Drums!" and "Come Up from the Fields Father," what word choices strike you as most interesting and effective? Ex
babymother [125]

The choice of commanding words "Beat! beat! drums! —blow! bugles! blow!" and “Come Up from the Fields Father,” at the beginning of the poems are the most striking, interesting and effective to create the desired atmosphere of the poet.

Explanation:

Every stanza of the poem, “Beat! Beat! Drums!” starts with the words, "Beat! beat! drums! —blow! bugles! blow!" to grasp for playing the instruments so piercingly that can blowout everywhere in the neighboring air. Whitman imagines that the sound fills the churches to congregate the scattered crowd, interrupts scholars from studying, disturbs the bride and groom trying to get privacy, and calls the farmers working in their fields. The words so sound cutting and effective to create the desired atmosphere of the Civil War.  The rhythmic pulse of the beginning line emphasizes the poem's appeal. The short, recurring syllables mimic the sound of beating drums and blowing bugles.  

Walt Whitman composes “Come up from the Fields, Father,” a poem on the topic of war, more precisely the impact that the involvement of a soldier in the war.  The poem begins on a calm autumn day in Ohio, where a farm was tranquil and amazing.  Abruptly the oldest daughter of the household starts calling “Come up from the Fields, Father,” to hear the sad news that their son has been fighting in the Civil War. The choice of words is accurate to create desired atmosphere of war at tranquil moment. Sound impact and alliteration of the properly placed words are the most interesting and effective.
