“Messy Room” by

Shel SilversteinWhosever room this is should be ashamed!His underwear is hanging on the lamp.His raincoat is there in the overstuffed chair,And the chair is becoming quite mucky and damp.His workbook is wedged in the window,

His sweater's been thrown on the floor.

His scarf and one ski are beneath the TV,

And his pants have been carelessly hung on the door.

His books are all jammed in the closet,

His vest has been left in the hall.

A lizard named Ed is asleep in his bed,

And his smelly old sock has been stuck to the wall.

Whosever room this is should be ashamed!

Donald or Robert or Willie or--

Huh? You say it's mine? Oh, dear,

I knew it looked familiar!Slide7

says

...

Examples:

The staircase represents life because the speaker keeps talking about climbing stairs throughout the poem

as she talks about life.

In the final stanza

,

the speaker

tells her son that it is important to

keep climbing and never sit down just because life is hard. 10Slide11

Analyze and explain evidence

Explain how the quote or paraphrased evidence supports your idea. Begin with signal phrases such as:

This shows…

. This means…

This reveals…

This illustrates…

11

Evidence

According to the speaker, her staircase in life has had “tacks” and “splinters” and “boards

torn

up” and “no carpet.”

Explanation

This description of the speaker’s life in terms of a rundown staircase suggests that she has struggled in life. “Tacks” and “splinters” and “torn up” are images of pain. The lack of carpet implies poverty. The metaphor suggests that the speaker is as worn down from the trials of her life as a wooden staircase that has not been cared for.Slide12

Collins Model

Tupac Shakur and Emily Dickinson are very different, but they both want a meaningful life and have a clear philosophy of life.  Dickinson finds purpose in helping other.  She says, “If I can stop one heart from breaking I shall not live in vain

.”  This demonstrates that easing the suffering of others is fulfilling to Dickinson.  Tupac’s philosophy of life is to

live life to the fullest.

In line eight of “In the Event of My Demise,” it states,

“so

much I wanted 2 accomplish before I reached my Death

…”

Tupac feels everyone should make the most of the

time.

Although these poets

lived in different centuries, they both had a strong life’s code to follow.Slide17

Take this paragraph and write it in poetry form

A gentle breeze carries the scent of apples from the orchard. I can imagine the sweet, syrupy taste of the overripe apples that lay beneath heavy trees. When I was too little to pick an apple from the branch, I would sit in the shade and pick from the fallen fruit on the ground. Such a delicious memory of my boyhood. Slide24

“My Papa’s Waltz”

by Theodore Roethke

The whiskey on your breath

Could make a small boy

dizzy;

But I hung on like death:

Such waltzing is not easy.

We romped until the pans

Slid from the kitchen shelf

My mother’s countenance

Could not

unfrown

itself.

 The hand that held my wristWas battered on one knuckle;

At every step you missed

My right ear scraped a buckle.

You beat time on my head

With a palm caked hard by dirt,

Then waltzed me off to bed

Still clinging to your shirtSlide28

“I Never Said I wasn’t Difficult”

By Sara Holbrook I never said I wasn’t difficult,I mostly want my way.

Sometimes I talk back or pout

and don’t have much to say.

I’ve been known to yell, “So what,”

when I’m stepping out of bounds.

I want you there for me and yet,

I don’t want you around.

I wish I had more privacy

and never had to be alone.

I want to run away.

I’m scared to leave my home. I’m too tired to be responsible.I wish I were boss.I want to blaze new trails.I’m terrified that I’ll get lost. I wish an answer cameevery time I asked you, “Why?”I wish you weren’t a know-it-allWhy do you question when I’m bored?I won’t be cross-examined.I hate to be ignored. I know,I shuffle messages like cards,some to show and some to hide.But, if you think I’m hard to live withyou should try me inside.Slide32

“Nothing Gold Can Stay” by Robert Frost

 Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold.Her early leaf's a flower;But only so an hour.Then leaf subsides to leaf.

So Eden sank to grief,

So dawn goes down to day.

Nothing gold can staySlide47

“Sympathy” by Paul Laurence Dunbar

I know what the caged bird feels, alas!When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,And the river flows like a stream of glass;

When the first bird sings and the first bud

opes

,

And the faint perfume from its chalice steals--

I know what the caged bird feels!

I know why the caged bird beats its wing

Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;

For he must fly back to his perch and cling

When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;

And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars

And they pulse again with a keener sting--

I know why he beats his wing!I know why the caged bird sings, ah me, When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,--When he beats his bars and he would be free;It is not a carol of joy or glee,But a prayer that he sends from his heart's deep core,But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings--I know why the caged bird sings!Slide48

Imagery and Figurative Language: similar to special effects in a movie, they grab attention and help create mental pictures and moods. Poems rich in imagery appeal to the senses to help the reader experience the text.Slide52

Imagery

Sensory details: words and phrases that appeal to one or more of five sensesImage: picture or sensation reader forms in his or her mind

Imagery

: Collection of sensations or images.Slide53

Imagery

Definition: Words that appeal to the five senses and enhance the reader’s experience.

Example:

Ernestine (a dolphin) nuzzled in beside me and laid her pectoral fin on my back. I couldn’t resist her. Without conscious thought, my hand reached up and stroked her side. It felt smooth, soft, and firm, like the inside surface of a hard-boiled egg.

LT19Slide54

What sense is this imagery

appealing to ?Ernestine (a dolphin) nuzzled in beside me and laid her pectoral fin on my back. I couldn’t resist her. Without conscious thought, my hand reached up and stroked her side. It felt smooth, soft, and firm, like the inside surface of a hard-boiled egg.Slide55

What sense is this imagery appealing to ?

None of the divers had air tanks. Each diver breathed through a thin yellow air hose leading up to the surface, where it was plugged into a brass outlet on an air compressor. I noticed the strange shape of the bubbles as they left my regulator and wobbled to the surface. They were not round but dome-shaped, flat on the bottom, and they changed as they rose toward the mirrorlike surface twenty feet above.Slide56

What sense is this imagery appealing to ?

I heard the crash of the surface as it broke apart and thumped shut above me…As the dolphin charged, I heard a roar of cavitation (the sudden formation of bubbles) as the very water tore, breaking into hydrogen and oxygen…heard the klonk that I knew signaled aggression.Slide57

Write a paragraph rich with imagery

Row a and b: appeal to sense of sightRow c: appeal to sense of soundRow d: appeal to sense of touchRow e: appeal to sense of smell

Row f: appeal to sense of tasteSlide58

“Preludes” excerpt

By T.S. Elliot

The winter evening settles down

With the smell of steaks in passageways.

Six o'clock.

The burnt-out ends of smoky days.

And now a gusty shower wraps

The grimy scraps

Of withered leaves about your feet

And newspapers from vacant lots;

The showers beat

On broken blinds and chimneypots,

And at the corner of the street

A lonely cab-horse steams and stamps. And then the lighting of the lamps.  “A Dream Deferred”By Langston Hughes 

What happens to a dream deferred?

Does it dry up

like a raisin in the sun?

Or fester like a sore--

And then run?

Does it

stink like rotten meat?

Or crust and sugar over--

like a syrupy sweet?

Maybe it just sags

like a heavy load.

Or does it explode?Slide60

“ Sleeping in the Forest” by Mary Oliver

 I thought the earthremembered me, shetook me back so tenderly, arrangingher dark skirts, her pockets full of licens and seeds. I slept

as never before, a stone on the riverbed, nothing

between me and the white fire of the stars

but my thoughts, and they floated

light as moths among the branches

of the perfect trees. All night

I heard the small kingdoms breathing

around me, the insects, and the birds

who do their work in the darkness. All night

I rose and fell, as if in water, grappling

with a luminous doom. By morning

I had vanished at least a dozen times

into something better.Slide67

“The City is So Big”

By Richard Garcia The city is so bigIts bridges quake with fearI know, I have seen at night

The lights sliding from house to house

And trains pass with windows shining

Like a smile full of teeth

I have seen machines eating houses.

And stairways walk all by themselves

And elevator doors opening and closing

And people disappear.Slide68

Hyperbole

Some inspiring examples

The sun = piece of fruit or body part

The sun glared at me, a critical eye following me down the street, making me want to hold my head down to avoid the scrutiny.

A friend or enemy’s heart = a landscape

His heart was a lifeless desert after the loss of his wife, a barren hopeless place.

Dress = a sound

Sarah’s gaudy prom dress shouted across the room at me, its brash colors screaming all at once for my attention.

A face = household appliance or machine

I stare at my girlfriend’s face, trying to figure her out, but she is a wall clock that is too far away to read.Slide75

“Scaffolding” by Seamus Heaney

 Masons, when they start upon a building,Are careful to test out the scaffolding; Make sure that planks won’t slip at busy points,

Secure all ladders, tighten bolted joints.

And yet all this comes down when the job’s done

Showing off walls of sure and solid stone.

So if, my dear, there sometimes seem to be

Old bridges breaking between you and me

Never fear. We may let the scaffolds fall

Confident that we have built our wall.Slide79

“Identity”by Julio Noboa Polanco

Let them be as flowers,

always watered, fed, guarded, admired,

but harnessed to a pot of dirt.

I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed,

clinging on cliffs, like an eagle

wind-wavering above high, jagged rocks.

To have broken through the surface of stone,

to live, to feel exposed to the madness

of the vast, eternal sky.

To be swayed by the breezes of an ancient sea,

carrying my soul, my seed,

beyond the mountains of time or into the abyss of the bizarre. I'd rather be unseen, and ifthen shunned by everyone,than to be a pleasant-smelling flower,growing in clusters in the fertile valley,where they're praised, handled, and pluckedby greedy, human hands.I'd rather smell of musty, green stenchthan of sweet, fragrant lilac.If I could stand alone, strong and free,I'd rather be a tall, ugly weed.Slide80

“The Road Not Taken” by Robert Frost

 Two roads diverged in a yellow woodAnd sorry I could not travel bothAnd be one traveler, long I stoodAnd looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted

wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to

way, I doubted if I should ever come back.I shall be telling this with a sighSomewhere ages and ages hence:Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled by,And that has made all the difference. Slide83

Onomatopoeia: the use of words whose sounds suggest their meaning like

buzz, hiss, and clapSlide84

“The

moan of doves in immemorial elms, And murmuring of innumerable bees.” (From “The Princess: Come Down Oh Maid” by Tennyson)Slide85

The rusty spigot

sputters,uttersa splutter,spatters a smattering of drops,gashes wider;

slash,

splatters,

scatters,

spurts,

finally stops sputtering

and plash!

clear water dashes.

Alliteration: the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of words.Slide87

“Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout

Would not take the garbage out!”by Shel Silverstein Sarah Cynthia Sylvia Stout Would not take the garbage out!

She'd scour the pots and scrape the pans,

Candy the yams and spice the hams,

And though her daddy would scream and shout,

She simply would not take the garbage out.

And so it piled up to the ceilings:

Coffee grounds, potato peelings,

Brown bananas, rotten peas,

Chunks of sour cottage cheese.

It filled the can, it covered the floor,

It cracked the window and blocked the door

With bacon rinds and chicken bones,

Drippy ends of ice cream cones, Prune pits, peach pits, orange peel, Gloppy glumps of cold oatmeal, Pizza crusts and withered greens, Soggy beans and tangerines, Crusts of black burned buttered toast, Gristly bits of beefy roasts. . . The garbage rolled on down the hall, It raised the roof, it broke the wall. . . Greasy napkins, cookie crumbs, Globs of gooey bubble gum, Cellophane from green baloney, Rubbery blubbery macaroni, Peanut butter, caked and dry, Curdled milk and crusts of pie, Moldy melons, dried-up mustard, Eggshells mixed with lemon custard, Cold french fried and rancid meat, Yellow lumps of Cream of Wheat. At last the garbage reached so high That it finally touched the sky. And all the neighbors moved away, And none of her friends would come to play. And finally Sarah Cynthia Stout said, "OK, I'll take the garbage out!" But then, of course, it was too late. . . The garbage reached across the state, From New York to the Golden Gate. And there, in the garbage she did hate,

Poor Sarah met an awful fate,

That I cannot now relate

Because the hour is much too late.

But children, remember SarahSlide88
