How do structure and word choice reveal a message in a poem

Answer:

Structure in Literature

Everything we write has a specific structure. A text message is short and filled with slang, an email is formatted like a letter, and an essay is in formal paragraphs. These various structures contribute to the overall meaning or message of the writing. Think of structure as how the parts in a piece of literature are put together.

Authors will carefully consider the structure of every piece of writing because changing the parts will change the whole message. For instance, having slang in a formal essay will undoubtedly make the writing less serious.

Two types of literature that have specific structures are poetry and drama. Let's look at the structure of both poetry and drama to analyze how it contributes to the author's message.

Structure of Poetry

Poetry is literature written in stanzas and lines that use rhythm to express feelings and ideas. Poets will pay particular attention to the length, placement, and grouping of lines and stanzas. This is called form. Lines or whole stanzas can be rearranged in order to create a specific effect on the reader.

One example is the sonnet, which is a 14 line poem with a specific rhyme scheme. The key with sonnets is that most end with a pair of lines set apart from the rest. Setting those two lines aside gives emphasis to their content, so whatever message is being sent will be given more importance.

Another aspect of the structure of poems is the rhythm, which is the beat of the poem. This is usually measured in meters, which are sets of stressed and unstressed syllables. Poets often arrange words according to meter in order to create specific sounds or beats. Think about any song (which is a type of poem) that you sing along to. Think about the rhythm of the music and the words. Is the singer angry? Or sad? The notes and meter might at first be fast, harsh, or short, while later it might be slow, soft, and drawn-out. These rhythms affect the overall message.

Finally, a poet might use figurative language techniques to establish an overall effect. Rhyme scheme is one such method using a pattern of repeated final sounds in the last words of each line. Creating a pattern of rhyming can also affect the rhythm of a poem. In addition, whole rhyming lines can be repeated throughout a poem in order to emphasize the author's message.

Again, let's use songs as an example. Each one has a chorus, or the few lines that are repeated over and over. Aren't these the lines everyone knows by heart? The writer of that song knows that by manipulating rhyme and repetition, he/she can have the audience repeating his/her message over and over. Rhyme and repetition are very powerful tools.

Which of the following uses dashes correctly?
lesya692 [45]

<u>Answer</u>:

Out of the following sentences, the one that uses dashes correctly is - "The New Zealand Papua New Guinea handball team's stars Fredrickson, lacho, Honey, and Ipatas, have all demonstrated - hey, what's that duck doing here? Here, the right answer is Option B.

<u>Explanation</u>:

There is a surprise element at the end of the sentence which is marked by an exclamation ‘hey’ and a question. So, the dash is placed after the verb ‘demonstrated’ to highlight this surprise element of the sentence.

Also, the dash is used to emphasise on the conclusion or introduction of the sentence. Over here it gives importance to the conclusion of the sentence. Plus, it helps in breaking up the dialogue here.
