1 Narrative Poem - Alan Wichink Kruit Wednesday, December 05, :48 PM La Noche Triste 1 This poem is about an event, 2 About when the Spanish were sent, 3 To the newly discovered land, 4 So they could bring back something grand, 5 To please their king in Spain. 6 7 La Noche Triste it was called, 8 Takes place in a city that's walled, 9 About a man with lots of greed, 10 And takes more then he needs, 11 At the attack of the Aztec capital, It was spring It wasn't quite a pleasant scene 15 Cortes set fire to his own ship 16 Crackled, crackled, with a swoosh of a whip, 17 Marching through the forest to the center, A tribe was met along the way, 20 But they didn't want to turn away, 21 Instead they got ready for war, 22 And rain started to pour, 23 Even the sky was sad, The Spanish started drawing their gun, 26 The war has now really begun, 27 Bang and bang then the bullet flew, 28 And the bullet stuck to them like glue, 29 The sky started turning grey, Marching through the forest to the center, 32 Marching through the forest to the center, 33 At last they met a glorious town, 34 Where a person wore a wonderful crown, 35 The sun is shining again The town was like a gold mine, 38 Although the Spanish thought 39 The emperor has brought 40 Them all feathers Cortes was as angry as a tiger 43 He wanted lots of gold, 44 So then he got a hold, 45 Of the Aztec emperor, Like a storm the Spanish raided, 48 Breaking down the door, 49 Rain started pouring to the floor, 50 The clouds covered the sun, The Spanish have done it 53 The town is now theirs, 54 The heaven is in tears, 55 Is this the end of Aztec, The Aztec immediately rebelled, 58 And the Spanish turned and fled, 59 But it left many dead, 60 Under the starry sky, 61 Poetry Page 1

2 62 The stars with like the eyes, 63 Of the god watching above, 64 To give the Aztecs their love, 65 As they rebuild their town, This poem is about an event, 68 About when the Spanish were sent, 69 To the newly discovered land, 70 So they could bring back something grand, 71 To please their king in Spain La Noche Triste it was called, 74 Takes place in a city that's walled, 75 About a man with lots of greed, 80 And takes more then he needs, 81 At the attack of the Aztec capital, Use this checklist to make sure that you have covered each component: I explain my creative process from start to finish for this narrative (original idea, major changes, any feedback given by partners, etc). I explain why I chose each of the five (or more) poetic devices for this narrative I explain why I believe these poetic devices are effective in my poem and I cite specifically where I use them with quotations. I talk about how I have structured my poem and why I think it is important. I explain both the literal meaning of the poem and my ideas about how the poem figurative meaning as well. Analysis 1 Sunday December the 2nd 2012 Today I brainstormed some ideas about what my poem should be about, how long it should be and what type of poetic devices I should use. I am really interested in the past so I figured I should do a poem about something in the past. I chose La Noche Triste or The Sad Night and it was about how the Aztecs managed to rebel and take back their capital city. I thought that I should start the poem when they are still fighting and then end the poem when the war has stopped. I will probably use foreshadowing, personification, onomatopoeias, simile and repetition. My poem won't be that long, about 8 to 11 stanzas. Analysis 2 Wednesday December the 5th 2012 Today I wrote 2 stanzas for my I used the rhyme scheme of A A B B C. I used my first alliteration in the last line of stanza 2 with the words "attack" and "Aztec". I am not sure if "La Noche Triste" The Sad Night is considered a personification because it is an event that happen in past so I wasn't quite sure. The first 2 stanzas are considered the introduction because it gives some background information on the topic. Analysis 3 Thursday December the 6th 2012 Today I worked on the poem a lot. I managed to finish another 2 and a half stanzas. I added a few onomatopoeia on lines 16 and 27 with the words "crackled" and "bang". I also showed my work to the other Alan and he said that it was good. I am happy to hear that. I also have another personification in stanza 4 on line 23. It said "even the sky was sad". My rhyme scheme hasn't changed. It is still A A B B C. Analysis 4 Saturday December the 8th 2012 Today I worked on my poem a bit. I think I am almost done now and will work on it tomorrow. I added a lot of similes into my There is 1 on line 37 and another on line 42. I also used repetition to show that they are still marching to find the gold in lines 31 and 32. It is a repeat of the line 17. Line 34 is blank because I couldn't think of a line to put in there. In stanza 7 I started changing the rhyme scheme. It is now A B B C and there are only 4 lines in a stanza. I didn't use any foreshadowing yet but I was thinking of making the sky turn dark like something bad is going to happen. Analysis 5 Sunday December the 9th 2012 Today I finished my The poem has more stanzas then I thought. I used more simile on lines 47 and 62. I finally used foreshadowing when the clouds cover the sun. Then the sky turns dark so something terrible is going to happen. I didn't put so much personification in the last part of the There was only "the heaven is in tears" and the star has eyes. The last 2 stanzas are a repetition of the first 2 stanzas. I am really proud of Poetry Page 2
