Edgar Allan Poe uses many sound devices in his poem "The Bells." Which words from the poem are examples of onomatopoeia? Keeping

time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells— To the sobbing of the bells:— Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells, In a happy Runic rhyme, To the rolling of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells:— To the tolling of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

They had the correct answer.

<u><em>Onomatopoeia:</em></u><em> The formation of a word from the sound that word makes; A poetic structure of words that convey how something sounds.</em>

I believe your answer is "moaning" and "groaning". When said, both sound as if you are doing the action of the word.

If you can pick more than two, than I might suggest "knell" as well, although it does not quite sound like the action. To knell is to ring solemnly.

I'll put this here for anyone still looking for the answer, or for anyone who needs confirmation.

Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech which imitates sounds heard in nature. Having that in mind, the example of that figure in this poem would be moaning and groaning. The moaning and the groaning of the bells is a reference to the moaning and the groaning that animals and humans can produce.

ad-work [718]
The position of a topic sentence often shifts, according to the author and writing style. One should never place the topic sentence in the middle of the paragraph. It will just give your reader confusion what really the paragraph is talking about. You can place it either in the beginning or at the end of the paragraph.<span>
