A villanelle is a formal poem using extensive repetition (C). It is highly structured and is a nineteen-line poem made up of two repeating rhymes and two refrains. Even though a villanelle now has a rigid structure, it did not start off as a formal poem with it strict structure. The villanelle originated in the Renaissance and was a Spanish or Italian dance song. The French poets named their unstructured poems villanelles. The villanelle was written mainly about rustic and pastoral themes.
If referring to Of Mice and Men then it would be classified as a novella.
Forming a compound subject
A compound subject refers to a sentence that talks about two or more subjects. The two subjects are combined with a conjunction such as (and, or, neither).
By forming a compound subject the two sentences:"snowshoeing is a popular activity in grand lake. snowmobiling is also a popular activity in grand lake" can be combined into one sentence as follows:
"Snowshoeing and snowmobiling are popular activities in grand land"
This new sentence now contains a compound subject (both snowshoeing and snowmobiling) which is separated by the conjunction "and".
