Peter, Peter pumpkin eater,
Had a wife but couldn't keep her;
He put her in a pumpkin shell
And there he kept her very well.

Peter, peter pumpkin eater,
had another but didn't love her;
Peter learned to read and spell,
And then he loved her very well.

To summarize, this is about a man named Peter, whose wife cheated on him (he couldn't keep her). Peter murders this wife, and then puts her body in a pumpkin shell. In the second stanza, we can infer that Peter has a second wife, who he can love only after becoming literate (being able to read and write).

As for the rhyme scheme, both stanzas are AABB. This is because the last words in the first two lines rhyme with each other (eater, keep her; shell, well), as well as the last words in the last two lines (eater, love her; spell, well).

in the scarlet ibis What literary devices does Hurst use to tell his story? Provide a minimum of three (3). How do these devices
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

three literary resources presented in the text are imagerys, paradoxes and personification.

Explanation:

The text presents many descriptions about nature, most of which are made using imagerys, which allow the creation of vivid images in the reader's mind. That's because Imagery is a literary resource that has the ability to stimulate the five senses of the reader, through words. In this case, the imagery stimulates the vision, making the reader, in fact, visualize what is being narrated. An example of using imagery can be seen in the lines: "The flower garden was strained with rotting brown magnolia petals and ironweeds grew rank amid the purple phlox."

The paradox is also a literary resource used in the text and can be seen, mainly, when we analyze the narrator's pride, since he is proud to teach Doodle to walk and although Doodle is very happy this is what causes his death. The paradox is a resource that presents two opposing ideas in the same system. It can be viewed on the lines: "I did not know then that pride is a wonderful, terrible thing, a seed that bears two vines, life and death."

The text also presents the literary resource known as personification, which is the resource that allows inanimate objects to gain human characteristics, skills and behaviors. This gives the text a playful, poetic and even subjunctive character, which may increase the meaning of some terms. An example of personification can be seen in the line: "The last graveyard flowers were blooming, and their smell drifted across the cotton field and through every room of our house, speaking softy the names of our dead."
