English

Step2247 [10]3 years ago
8 0

The lines of the poem mentioned in the question above are:

<em>"What else could the boy have done? Wasn’t </em>

<em>flight both an escape and a great uplifting? </em>

<em>And so he flew. But how could he appreciate </em>

<em>his freedom without knowing the exact point </em>

<em> </em>

<em>where freedom stopped? So he flew upward </em>

<em>and the sun dissolved the wax and he fell. </em>

<em>But at last in his anticipated plummeting </em>

<em>he grasped the confines of what had been"</em>

Answer:

Each stanza has four lines. The lines don't rhyme.

Between lines 1-8, it is common that the end punctuation does not appear at the end of each line, but on the next line this causes an effect of interrupted thinking, which matches the meaning of the poem, since it speaks of an interrupted freedom .

Explanation:

As you may already know, a poem is composed of verses and stanzas. Each stanza is composed of a set of verses and each stanza of the poem is separated from another stanza through a space, which allows you to perceive a group of grouped verses. Each verse represents a line, for this reason, it is possible to state that in relation to the stanzas shown above, each of them has four lines.

The rhyme is an element that provides a certain musicality in the stanzas. This is because it allows the repetition of vowels (usually in the last syllable) of the last words at the end of each line. This allows these syllables to be repeated during the stanza, generating musicality. As you can see in the verses above, the lines do not rhyme.

The end punctuation is the punctuation that an author places at the end of a sentence, that is, this punctuation appears when the sentence has already passed a message and can be completed. Generally, these scores appear at the end of each line, but as you can see in the lines above, many of them do not end with the end score that only appears in the middle of the next line. This provides an interruption in the reading of the poem in the middle of a sentence and directly matches the meaning of the poem. That's because, the poem talks about the interruption of a desire, since Icaru has his desire for freedom interrupted with his fall.

Have you ever looked at someone and just felt like you were being pulled in? Like you both have a special connection, even though you've never really met? Known as love at first sight, this is the plot of the play "Romeo and Juliet". In the play a girl named Juliet and a boy named Romeo fall in love at first sight, however their parents forbade their love. They knew that they were meant to be, however, and defied their parents. Though the story doesen't end very well you can see the message of love at first sight.
