27 Paper 2 Literature 80 marks 2½ hrs ANSWER ONLY THE QUESTIONS SET ON THE SETWORK YOU HAVE STUDIED Answer 3 SETS of questions FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS
28 A poem has lines and stanzas (verses) In FREE VERSE, the poet defines his own form. POETIC LICENSE They may use words as they please to fit their poem. Enjambment
29 Narrative = tells story Ballad = oldest form of narrative poetry, usually about love, death, war and rhythm has a strong beat, lots of action. Epic = very long narrative poem telling the story of an historical figure or event. Lyrical poetry = poem with musical or songlike qualities. It conveys the personal thoughts and feelings of the speaker. Sonnets = Always has 14 lines Shakespearean and Italian Sonnet Rhyme scheme
30 Poet Author Poet vs. speaker Speaker Narrator
31 How to approach poetry TITLE meaning in relation to the poem as a whole. POET s name who is the poet, when did he/she live, what famous themes does the poet usually write about? THEME STRUCTURE of the poem how is it arranged into lines, stanzas and rhyme scheme? DICTION Choice of words. Try to understand the meaning of difficult words by looking at the context in which they are used. WORD ORDER Sometimes unusual word order is used to emphasize an idea or theme. FIGURE OF SPEECH and SOUND DEVICES. TONE Ask yourself WHAT FEELING does the poet or speaker express in the poem. Read questions carefully and look at mark allocation.
32 Structure and form The structure of the poem refers to the way that ideas are grouped in different stanzas. It shows us how the words and ideas of the poet is organised into lines and how the lines are put together. Ask: How are the ideas of the poet organised? How does the poet develop his theme? The form refers to the overall organisation of the lines in the poem. Ask: Are the lines grouped into stanzas? Do they have a specific length, or do they assume a specific shape that reflects the subject matter of the poem?
33 Rhyme Ask: Is there a rhyme scheme? And, if so, why has the poet used this rhyme scheme? Does it add to the overall effect of the poem?
34 Rhythm All songs with great rhythm are nothing else but poems with music. Rhythm adds to the mood, quality and meaning of a poem. Rhythm refers to the movement of a poem or the beat in a line of poetry. Ask: Is the rhythm of the poem slow, steady or fast? Is the rhythm constant or does it vary with the meaning? A slow rhythm suggests sadness, relaxation or disappointment while a fast rhythm suggests excitement, danger or anger.
35 The rhythm in a poem can be changed or created by the following: Punctuation and enjambment Punctuation marks can give a conversational feel and rhythm to a poem. The flow of one line into the other (enjambment) carries the feeling and tone from one line to the next thus creating a smooth flow in the poem. Sound devices The use of alliteration, assonance and onomatopoeia, may cause a short (staccato) rhythm. Only the stuttering rifles rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons (From: Anthem for Doomed Youth, W Owen) Difference in line lengths By changing the lengths of the lines in a poem, a poet can change the rhythm of the poem and also emphasise and idea or word. It is a mountain lion, A long, long slim cat, yellow like a lioness, Dead. (From: Lion, DH Lawrence)
36 Diction The words which a poet uses is called his diction. Ask: Are his words vivid and striking or merely informative? Are there inverted word orders and if so, what is the reason for this? Diction can be colloquial or formal; serious or light hearted. Imagery is a word picture that allows us to understand what the writer has to say. It shows a meaning that is below the surface. Figures of speech help the reader to form a vivid picture in their minds. Ask: What effect is produced by the use of metaphors, similes, personification and symbolism? Appeals to our five senses Describe the picture that is created in your mind and comment on the feeling that the image has created in you.
