How does the structure of a poem affect its meaning?

pentagon [3]

Poetry is literature written in stanzas and lines that uses 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 these 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.

kotykmax [81]

Answers :

1. Tina will have cooked the burned one for sure.

2. Sora had went to last hope 3 days ago.

3. Jill did not drop this phone.

4. Our manager solved problems.

5. I will use money for good.

6. Jake cannot go back to home.

7. Did Jack do it?

8. Slackers will not save the future.

Method :-

Here, we are given the sentences in passive voice. To convert them into active, let's look at an example below -

That phone isn't dropped by Jill.

↓ ↓ ↓

Object Verb Subject

¤ In the above example, when we convert to active tense, the subject will be written first as same.

¤ Then the verb area will be converted a little as per the sense of the sentence. Like 'the next day' means tomorrow. So, the word will be 'tomorrow'. Examples:

☆ The previous day -> yesterday

☆ Tonight -> night

( There are many more like these. In order to learn them in detail, search at Brainly or Internet. )

¤ Then the object is also changed a bit as per sentence. Objects like phone, table, car will be the same but that phone, those boys etc, will be changed a little.

( There are many more like these. In order to learn them in detail, search at Brainly or Internet. )

Hope this helps !
