studying for my AP exam.

These words are accented. They are prominently distinguished in their pronunciation. The fluer-de-lis on my hip is an allegory; it means something other than it is. and I did that on purpose, as the author of such ink. Preaching such approval, I found a fine alliteration; the repetition of initial consonant letters (sounds.) We're like Romeo and Juliet. Allusion. A reference to history; like you leaving me, or other literature, like Shakespeare.


Anapest; understand is, two unaccented syllables followed by one accented. If i add in some more understands, it's anapestic meter. I have a dream = Anaphora. I should know that from honors english three. Apostrophe more than grammatical imagery, A figure of speech in which I talk to you like you're here, when you're evidently not. Approximate rhyme? It's like imaginary numbers...I'm attempting to guess the answer. Assonance; the repetition of middle vowel sounds. hat. ran. and. amber. maybe even vein, maine, insane. Oh yes I am; I'm studying for AP Literature and Composition. Aubade. dawn. morning. love. that's easy. Annabelle Lee, maybe? Ballad. Sweeney Todd. Cacophony is harsh, euphony is not. Caesura. Grammatical pause. The connotation is a suggestion beyond the meaning, denotation is its definition meaning. Consonance, final consonant sounds. Book. plaque, think(er.) Dactyl. The opposite of Anapest. starts with accent, ends in two unaccented. If I'm trying to teach you something through poetry, it's Didactic. politely, rightly, double rhyme, duh. Iambic and trochaic are both duple meter. ababcdcdefefgg = Shakespearean or English sonnet. as apposed to Petrarch Italian.

Appealing ceiling is feminine rhyme. That's interesting, why? Hyperbole, See "Overstatement" wow, since when? Imagery= A representation through language of anything involving your five god-given senses. "Appealing ceiling is feminine rhyme" and that sentence is internal rhyme because a rhyme occurred within the line. There I go again!

Irony. The firehouse burned down? That's situational. Verbal Irony: When the pot calls the kettle black (but thats a figure of speech). Like when I say "You're Gay." haaaa
Dramatic Irony: when the author implies a different meaning by what the speaker said.
Situational Irony; Twelfth night. It's kind of like... How everyone ends up happy in the end, but then gets exploded, or what you will. Dramatic Irony is also when the audience knows something the speaker does not. which can also be situational.

abbaabba, adding either cdcdcd, or cdecde, is officially Petrarch Italian. Limerick my Limerence, I know what this shit is. Masculine rhyme: simple rhyme. Like sad, mad, fad, bad. Easy to remember; men are simple, too.

Metaphor: a comparison NOT using like, or as. Simile; a comparison using LIKE OR AS.

Metonymy. A figure of speech in which one detail or situation is used to represent the entire situation. synecdoche is involved;; the part against the whole.

Octave: 8-lined stanza. That's in Italian. Onomatopoeia. BOOM. Overstatement- see hyperbole. Well THAT was useful. It's an exaggeration.

Oxymoron: paradox like "Brave Slytherin" or "cold fire"

Paradox: The whole situation of oxymoron: like why would a Pro-abortion poster be in the republican mayor's office? That's irony, too, I believe, we'll see. Which is internal rhyme. feminine. I got this. Paradoxical Statement; when something doesnt seem to make sense in itself, but it's true.

If it's rhetorical, it's naturally spoken, through pause, through rhyme, through life. It's unanswered, honestly. Think back to Anapest and Dactyl...now try Spondee...when two rhyming words are equally accented...true..blue.

My favorite word. Synesthesia. When something is portrayed as one sense, when it's typically another. I heard the colors in the painting? Trochee...think back to Anapest....Dactyle...and Spondee...when there is one unstressed, and one stressed...this is "E...asy"

Hardest one? villanelle. a nineteen-line fixed form consisting of five tercets rhymed aba (three-lined stanzas) and a concluding quatrain (four-lined stanza) rhymed abaa, with lines 1 and 3 of the first tercet serving as refrains in an alternating pattern through line fifteen and then repeated as lines 18 and 19.

WHAT THE FUCK? am I supposed to be a robot?!
