A poem’s meter is the type of poetic foot combined with the number of poetic feet in each line. Review the first stanza of “The

Raven” again and identify its meter.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“'Tis some visitor, “I muttered, tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more.”

Note the meter of the poem. Then provide a brief explanation for your answer. Be sure to use examples from the poem.

Answer:

The meter of “The Raven” is trochaic octameter. The following line from the poem has trochaic feet:

While I | nodded, | nearly | napping, | sudden | ly there | came a | tapping,

Each stressed syllable is followed by a single unstressed syllable. This pattern is repeated eight times in the line. Because there are eight trochaic feet in the line, it is written in octameter.

Write an essay about respect and rules in the class
Mariulka [41]
When in class, you should always come in with your needed materials to start with. While class is going on, you should remain quiet and paying attention to show respect to your peers and teacher. Your phone and any other distractions should be put away. When attempting an assignment there should be no cheating under any circumstances. If you have any questions on the assignment you should raise your hand and ask the teacher. If you need to get up for something like, a tissue, or take a restroom break raise your hand to get the approval from the teacher.
