Can someone please explain how to find an iambic pentameter and meter? I’ll give brainliest!
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

Iambic pentameter originated from Shakespeare so I will use a part of a  for an example.

When we were younger we learned how to find syllables, like clapping your hands while reading etc. that is basically the same thing you would apply to iambic pentameter

Iambic pentameter has a rhythm to it. Just imagine it, bum.. boom ... so now that you know that it has a rhythm and you need to know the syllables we can try an example

Line 1) When I do count the clock that tells the time,

[ When is one syllable so that would be our bum and I is one syllable so that would be our boom..so on and so forth(each boom and bum counts as one syllable]

Line 2) And  see       the     brave   day    sunk      in        hid  -    eous   night;

          [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom] [bum] [boom]

 (notice hideous is two syllables )

<u><em>*******IMPORTANT: Iambic pentameter will ALWAYS have 10 syllables </em></u>

Victor is reading a narrative poem about the deeds of gods and heroes. In this work, the author makes long and involved comparis
Serga [27]
It is an epic simile. This is because the comparisons are "long and involved". The main difference between an epic simile (also known as Homeric simile) and an ordinary simile is than an epic simile is very detailed and can span over many lines. Where as a normal simile usually is contained within one or two lines.

Example of epic simile:

But swift Aias the son of Oïleus would not at all now take his stand apart from Telamonian Aias,
not even a little; but as two wine-coloured oxen straining
with even force drag the compacted plough through the fallow land,
and for both of them at the base of the horns the dense sweat gushes;
only the width of the polished yoke keeps a space between them
as they toil down the furrow till the share cuts the edge of the ploughland;
so these took their stand in battle, close to each other.

Normal simile:

As white as a ghost

Hope this helps !!
