Write at least three sentences describing what you see in this image.Slide2

The Charge of the

Light BrigadeBy Alfred, Lord TennysonSlide3

I Can…

Determine an author’s purpose for utilizing literary devices.9-10.RL.CS.5 Analyze how an author’s choices concerning text structure, plot structure, and/or time manipulation create effects such as mystery, tension, or surprise.Determine an author’s purpose and theme.9-10.RL.CS.6 Analyze how point of view and/or author purpose shapes the content and style of diverse texts.Evaluate the effectiveness of writing.Slide4

Before We Get Started…

As you listen, make sure you take notes in such a way that they will help you as you work to analyze both poetry and prose in the lessons ahead.Rule to Keep in Mind: IF YOU DON’T ALREADY KNOW IT…WRITE IT DOWN!Remember that you do not have to write every word on a slide—you just have to write enough to help you recall the content when you need it later!Slide5

Repetition

Repetition is a poetic technique used to draw a person's attention to a certain idea. Think about school. If a teacher wants to get her point across, is she going to say it once? No. She is going to repeat it multiple times so it begins to sink in. The same works with poetry!Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/article-repetition-in-poetrySlide6

How is Repetition Used in Poetry?

Repetition helps bring a reader's attention to certain ideas, emotions, or thoughts.Source: https://www.familyfriendpoems.com/poem/article-repetition-in-poetryRepetition can be used in a variety of ways:

A word is repeated at different points.

A phrase is repeated.

One line is repeated throughout the poem.

An entire stanza is repeated.Slide7

Parallelism

In geometry, parallel lines never touch, but instead move in similar directions (=).Connecting the mathematical idea to words, parallel words are like synonyms, words that are similar, but will never be the same.As a literary device, parallelism draws on this idea of connection and similarity. Parallelism is when an author constructs parts of a sentence to be

grammatically similar

, often repeating a specific word, phrase, or idea.

Parallelism in Poetry

Parallelism serves to connect parts of lines and even separate lines. The connections fostered through parallelism in poetry also serve to create rhythm (which we will get to shortly). Parallelism in poetry can be used to create a childish sing-song tone, build tension, or emphasize a point. Source: https://study.com/academy/lesson/parallelism-in-poetry-definition-examples.htmlSlide9

Examples of Parallelism in Speeches

"For the end of a theoretical science is truth, but the end of a practical science is performance." -Aristotle"My fellow citizens: I stand here today humbled by the task before us, grateful for the trust you have bestowed, mindful of the sacrifices borne by our ancestors." -Barack Obama"One small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." -Neil Armstrong"We've seen the unfurling of flags, the lighting of candles, the giving of blood, the saying of prayers." -George W. BushSource: http://examples.yourdictionary.com/examples-of-parallelism.html Slide10

Anaphora

Anaphora is the repetition of a word or words at the beginning of successive phrases, clauses, or lines to create an auditory effect.Source: https://www.poetryfoundation.org/learn/glossary-terms/anaphora EXAMPLE:Go back to Mississippi, go back 

to

 Alabama, 

go back to

 South Carolina, 

go back

 to Georgia, 

go back

 

to

 Louisiana, 

go back to

 the slums and ghettos of our northern cities, knowing that somehow this situation can and will be changed. --Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

What else does this remind you of?

Anaphora vs. Repetition: Anaphora is a type of repetition.

Anaphora vs. Parallelism: Anaphora is a type of parallelism; however, parallelism is NOT always anaphora.

ANAPHORA is always at the beginning of a line or section of the text, while PARALLELISM can be anywhere in the text.Slide11

What is the purpose of anaphora?

Apart from the function of giving prominence to certain ideas, the use of anaphora in literature adds rhythm, thus making it more pleasurable to read, and easier to remember. As a literary device, anaphora serves the purpose of giving artistic effect to passages of prose and poetry.As a rhetorical device, anaphora is used to appeal to the emotions of the audience, in order to persuade, inspire, motivate, and encourage them.  Source: https://literarydevices.net/anaphora/ Slide12

Rhythm

The word rhythm is derived from rhythmos (Greek) which means, “measured motion.” Rhythm is a literary device that demonstrates the long and short patterns through stressed and unstressed syllables.Example:“DOU-ble, / DOU-ble / TOIL and / TROU-ble;

FI-re / BURN, and / CAL-

dron

/ BUB-

ble

.”

From

Macbeth

by William ShakespeareSlide13

The Purpose of Rhythm

Rhythm in writing acts as beat does in music. The use of rhythm in poetry arises from the need to express some words more strongly than others. Moreover, rhythm captivates the audience and readers alike by giving musical effect to a speech or a literary piece.Source: https://literarydevices.net/rhythm/ Slide14

Allusion

Allusion is a brief and indirect reference to a person, place, thing or idea of historical, cultural, literary or political significance. It does not describe in detail the person or thing to which it refers.Why is allusion so tough?It is just a passing comment and the writer expects the reader to possess enough knowledge to spot the allusion and grasp its importance in a text.Source: https://literarydevices.net/allusion/ Slide15

Allusions in Everyday Speech

The rise in poverty will unlock the Pandora’s box of crimes.This is an allusion to one of Greek Mythology’s origin myth, “Pandora’s box”.“This place is like a Garden of Eden.” This is a biblical allusion to the “garden of God” in the Book of Genesis.“Hey! Guess who the new Newton of our school is?” “Newton”, means a genius student, alludes to a famous scientist Isaac Newton.Source: https://literarydevices.net/allusion/ Slide16

Purpose of Allusions

The function of allusion is to add depth to a writing, allowing the author to refer to certain people, places, things, or happenings in a round-about manner, in order to create a more broad meaning. Source: https://literarydevices.net/10-beautiful-allusions-in-poetry/ Slide17

Bellringer

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.I love thee to the depth and breadth and heightMy soul can reach, when feeling out of sightFor the ends of being and ideal grace.I love thee to the level of every day'sMost quiet need, by sun and candle-light.I love thee freely, as men strive for right.

I love thee purely, as they turn from praise.

I love thee with the passion put to use

In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.

I love thee with a love I seemed to lose

With my lost saints. I love thee with the breath,

Smiles, tears, of all my life; and, if God choose,

I shall but love thee better after death.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “How Do I Love Thee”

What do you see in the poem to the left?

Repetition, Parallelism, Anaphora, Rhythm, or Allusion?

Be prepared to defend your assertion using the text!Slide29

Background Information: Heroes…or something else?

The British cavalry commander mistook his orders to retake some guns held by the Russians. Instead he told his men to charge the main Russian position, which was at the head of a valley bristling with artillery. The 600 horsemen obeyed but two thirds were killed or wounded. Slide30

Let’s discuss this first section of the text together!

Half a league, half a league,Half a league onward,All in the valley of Death   Rode the six hundred.“Forward, the Light Brigade! 5Charge for the guns!” he said.

Into the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.

Which of our poetic devices did you identify in the first stanza of the poem?

Considering that a “league” is a mile and a half, what mood is established by Tennyson’s use of repetition in the first lines of the poem?

Tennyson uses the metaphorical allusion “valley of Death” twice in this stanza.

What is he alluding to and why?

Why do you think “Death” is capitalized?

Who do you think is the speaker in the poem’s dialogue?Slide31

Annotate as I read the next section!

What to look for:Unfamiliar words (as always)Any of the poetic devices we discussed at the beginning of this lesson—you may want to look at the first stanza for comparison!Let’s discuss your findings?What is Tennyson communicating in lines 13-15?What is Tennyson’s focus in this section of the text?

“Forward, the Light Brigade!”

Was there a man dismayed? 10

Not though the soldier knew

   Someone had blundered.

   Theirs not to make reply,

   Theirs not to reason why,

   Theirs but to do and die. 15

   Into the valley of Death

   Rode the six hundred.Slide32

Partner Work—Work with your partner to annotate this section of the text and answer the questions below.

Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them,Cannon in front of them 20   Volleyed and thundered;Stormed at with shot and shell,Boldly they rode and well,

Into the jaws of Death,

Into the mouth of hell 25

   Rode the six hundred.

What is Tennyson’s focus in this section of the text? How has his focus shifted from the first two paragraphs? Cite

specific

evidence from the text to support your answer.

What literary devices does Tennyson use in this stanza? What purpose do those devices serve?Slide33

Let’s analyze this one together!

Flashed all their sabres bare,Flashed as they turned in airSabring the gunners there,Charging an army, while 30   All the world wondered.Plunged in the battery-smoke

Right through the line they broke;

Cossack and Russian

Reeled from the sabre stroke 35

   Shattered and sundered.

Then they rode back, but not

   Not the six hundred.

Which poetic devices do we see in this stanza?

How is this stanza similar to or different from previous stanzas in the text?

How does the mood of this stanza shift from previous stanzas? Where SPECIFICALLY do you see that shift in the text?Slide34

Let’s pause for a discussion about this poem’s RHYTHM

!There is a regular fast-paced rhythm to the poem created by:Regular number of syllables in the lines (5-7);End rhymes Repetition of line structures and wordsRepetition of variation (after the third stanza) of last line

What is the rhythm of the poem imitating and what is the effect of this?Slide35

Partner Work Again!

 Cannon to right of them,Cannon to left of them, 40Cannon behind them   Volleyed and thundered;Stormed at with shot and shell,While horse and hero fell.They that had fought so well 45

Came through the jaws of Death,

Back from the mouth of hell,

All that was left of them,

   Left of six hundred.

Which poetic devices do we see in this stanza? (Remember to look at this stanza as it relates to previous sections of the text.)

What is the purpose of those devices as they are used in this section of the text?Slide36

Independent Practice—Answer the questions below on your own. If you need help, raise your hand and wait for your teacher.

When can their glory fade? 50O the wild charge they made!   All the world wondered.Honour the charge they made!Honour the Light Brigade,

   Noble six hundred! 55

Identify at least one poetic device in this section of the text and

explain what you think Tennyson’s purpose was in using that device the way that he did

.

This stanza is significantly different from the other stanzas in the text. What is so different about it?Slide37

Poem Based on Newspaper Report

Journalist W. H. Russell reported on the Charge in The Times:At the minutes past eleven our Light Cavalry Brigade advanced…They swept proudly past, glittering in the morning sun in all the pride and splendour of war…At the distance of 1200 yards the whole line of the enemy belched forth, from thirty iron mouths, a flood of smoke and flame. The flight was marked by instant gaps in our ranks, by dead men and horse, by steeds flying and wounded or rider less across the plain…They flew into the smoke of the batteries; but before they were lost from view the plain was strewn with their bodies. Through the clouds of smoke we could see their sabres flashing as they rode between the guns, cutting down the gunners as they stood… The flank fire of the batteries on the hill swept them down…at thirty five minutes past eleven not a British soldier, except the dead and the dying, was left in front of the Russian guns.Slide38

Tell Their Stories

Soldiers have died in distant lands,Far from their homes and loving hands.Tell their stories.Troops missing in action and never returned,Their ultimate destinies not yet learned.Tell their stories.Warriors come home with troubled minds,Atrocities witnessed not quite left behind.Tell their stories.

Discussion Prompt #1

What is the most significant difference in these two poems?Slide46

Discussion Prompt #2

What are some things that BOTH poets do well?Slide47

Discussion Prompt #3

In a discussion regarding the validity of the identifier “poetess” for female poets, one of Mrs. Thomas’ English professors once said, “A poet is a person who writes poetry. A ‘poetess’ is a woman who writes verse for church bulletins.”He was attempting to steer the conversation from what to call a poet based on gender to a perspective in which poets are labeled according to the effectiveness of their words.Considering that perspective, which writer is more worthy of the “poet” label?
