<u>Omniscient narrator</u>:
This is a common 3rd person narrator in which the person of the tale knows everything, from private thoughts, secret or hidden events, to jumping betweens time. However, the narrator does not tell the reader or viewer everything, until it has a great affect on the story. This is used throughout the story, and the story line can change whenever. For example, if i am a omniscient narrator, i would be able to tell you what every single character is thinking, their actions, and their consequences. You will be able to know whatever they think & do. An example of this is: Bob is angry, because Tom broke his favorite toy. Bob thought, "I will repay Tom for what he has done". He devised a plan that included destroying all of Tom's toys. In the dead of night, when all others are sleeping, Bob went to Tom's house, and bashed and scattered his toys around. The next day, when Tom awoke, he screamed. His parents came and called the police.... etc etc

This showed that even though the other people in the story did not know who did it (yet) or what his thoughts were that led to his actions, the reader him/her self knew what was going on.

hope this helps

Answer:

A. alliteration

Explanation:

Alliteration

Alliteration is the repetition of the same consonant sound, such as many Mondays, or dazzling dream. This type of sound repetition can occur at the beginning, middle, or end of the word.

The traditional folk song “Shenandoah” is a good example of a lyric poem. It does not tell a story, but it does express the writer’s feelings.

Shenandoah

Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river,

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, I’m bound away,

‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I love your daughter,

Away, you rolling river,

I’ll take her ‘cross the rolling water,

Away, I’m bound away,

‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, you rolling river,

Oh, Shenandoah, I long to hear you,

Away, I’m bound away,

‘Cross the wide Missouri.

Refrain

A refrain is a line or group of lines repeated throughout a poem. A refrain can be

a line or two of verse that comes at the end of a stanza; or

a stanza that is repeated regularly throughout the poem.

In musical terms, the repeated lines sung after a stanza are called a chorus.

Rhythm

To put it into musical terms, rhythm is the beat of poetry. Because there is no drum or bass to define the beat of a poem, it is done through the choice and arrangement of words.

As you know, certain words or syllables of words are stressed when you speak. The pattern of stressed words and syllables found in a lyric poem helps build its rhythm. The rhythm pattern in poetry is called meter.

Before you go on, try this little exercise. Think of your favorite song again. Write the first verse of lyrics down on paper. Now, here is the hard part. Try to forget the music that the lyrics are set to and speak the words as a poem.

As you do so, underline the syllables that are stressed. This will show you the rhythm within the words, not just in the sound of the music. When you are done, you will have analyzed a piece of poetry for rhythm.

Rhyme

As you know, words that rhyme end with a similar sound. Rhyme and time, beat and heat, and friends and trends are all examples of rhyming words.

“Mary Had a Little Lamb” has only two rhyming words. Both come at the end of a line of verse.

As in rap lyrics, the use of rhyming in lyric poetry can be very elaborate. As you will see in “The Raven,” rhyming words can come at the end of lines of verse (end rhyme), or they can be located within one or more lines of verse (internal rhyme).
