Question

Make a list of three to five literary devices that Shelly used that you would like to “borrow” and use them the way he used them to write a poem. Each device listed must also refer to what the literary device does, and what it would do for your poem. If you wish, go ahead and write a poem or a few lines of a poem. Your lists and reasons should be about one hundred words.

Answer 1

Answer:

Apostrophe- An apostrophe is a technique used where the author references an object or person as if it were still there and alive even if it is not. I would like to do this in my writing because it gives more emotion to the poem. By addressing something that is no more it allows the reader to explore the possibilities of what the world would be like and gives away to the imagination of the author and audience.

Imagery- Imagery is the use of descriptive words to create an image of an event to create a more surreal picture within the mind of the audience. I would use imagery like he did in his poems as he described the "Black rain and fire and hail will burst!" to describe scenes to give the poem a more sentimental tone. The more the audience is able to picture the more they can relate to the events being explained. Therefore the audience is able to become emotionally attached to the feelings of the author.

Fortell- Fortell is the technique in which the author foreshadows possible outcomes. I would use this technique in order to make the audience think about the poem on a deeper level. I would do this to make the audience analyze my writing so that they could relate to it in an emotional and analytical level.
