Round 2 Stanza by Stanza Paraphrasing- Do not read into the poem! Only read on surface level! Complete your paraphrasing on a separate sheet of paper!
Stanza 1 Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary, Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. " 'Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door; Only this, and nothing more." The speaker is reading about dozing at midnight when there comes a knock on the door.
Stanza 2 Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December, And each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor. Eagerly I wished the morrow; vainly I had sought to borrow From my books surcease of sorrow, sorrow for the lost Lenore; For the rare and radiant maiden whom the angels name Lenore, Nameless here forevermore. He is reading to get his mind off of his lost love Lenore.
Stanza 3 And the silken sad uncertain rustling of each purple curtain Thrilled me---filled me with fantastic terrors never felt before; So that now, to still the beating of my heart, I stood repeating, " 'Tis some visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door, Some late visitor entreating entrance at my chamber door. This it is, and nothing more." The speaker is frightened by the rustling of the curtains and reassures himself that it is just a visitor.
Stanza 4 Presently my soul grew stronger; hesitating then no longer, "Sir," said I, "or madam, truly your forgiveness I implore; But the fact is, I was napping, and so gently you came rapping, And so faintly you came tapping, tapping at my chamber door, That I scarce was sure I heard you." Here I opened wide the door;--- Darkness there, and nothing more. He finally gets the courage to open the door only to discover no one is there.
Stanza 5 Deep into the darkness peering, long I stood there, wondering, fearing Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortals ever dared to dream before; But the silence was unbroken, and the stillness gave no token, And the only word there spoken was the whispered word, Lenore? This I whispered, and an echo murmured back the word, "Lenore!"Merely this, and nothing more. He begins to be frightened again and fears it might be the ghost of Lenore. He calls her name.
Stanza 6 Back into the chamber turning, all my soul within me burning, Soon again I heard a tapping, something louder than before, "Surely," said I, "surely, that is something at my window lattice. Let me see, then, what thereat is, and this mystery explore. Let my heart be still a moment, and this mystery explore. " 'Tis the wind, and nothing more." He thinks the rapping is now coming from the window and goes to check it out.
Stanza 7 Pallas- goddess of wisdom Open here I flung the shutter, when, with many a flirt and flutter, In there stepped a stately raven, of the saintly days of yore. Not the least obeisance made he; not a minute stopped or stayed he; But with mien of lord or lady, perched above my chamber door. Perched upon a bust of Pallas, just above my chamber door, Perched, and sat, and nothing more. He opens the window. In comes the raven and it perches upon the bust of Pallas above the chamber door.
Stanza 8 Then this ebony bird beguiling my sad fancy into smiling, By the grave and stern decorum of the countenance it wore, "Though thy crest be shorn and shaven thou," I said, "art sure no craven, Ghastly, grim, and ancient raven, wandering from the nightly shore. Tell me what the lordly name is on the Night's Plutonian shore." Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." The raven charmed him into smiling with his stern expression and the speaker asks his name. The bird replied, Nevermore.
Stanza 9 Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly, Though its answer little meaning, little relevancy bore; For we cannot help agreeing that no living human being Ever yet was blessed with seeing bird above his chamber door, Bird or beast upon the sculptured bust above his chamber door, With such name as "Nevermore." He was surprised to hear the bird speak so clearly and imagines no one else has ever experienced this.
Stanza 10 But the raven, sitting lonely on that placid bust, spoke only That one word, as if his soul in that one word he did outpour. Nothing further then he uttered; not a feather then he fluttered; Till I scarcely more than muttered, "Other friends have flown before; On the morrow he will leave me, as my hopes have flown before." Then the bird said, "Nevermore." He welcomes the bird and is afraid he will be gone in the morning.
Stanza 11 Startled at the stillness broken by reply so aptly spoken, "Doubtless," said I, "what it utters is its only stock and store, Caught from some unhappy master, whom unmerciful disaster Followed fast and followed faster, till his songs one burden bore,--- Till the dirges of his hope that melancholy burden bore Of "Never---nevermore." The man knows the bird doesn t speak from wisdom but has been taught by some unhappy master.
Stanza 12 But the raven still beguiling all my sad soul into smiling, Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door; Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore -- What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt and ominous bird of yore Meant in croaking "Nevermore." The man smiles and pulls up a chair wondering what the bird meant by Nevermore.
Stanza 13 Thus I sat engaged in guessing, but no syllable expressing To the fowl, whose fiery eyes now burned into my bosom's core; This and more I sat divining, with my head at ease reclining On the cushion's velvet lining that the lamplight gloated o'er, But whose velvet violet lining with the lamplight gloating o'er She shall press, ah, nevermore! He sits in Lenore s chair and is reminded of her.
Stanza 14 Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer Swung by seraphim whose footfalls tinkled on the tufted floor. "Wretch," I cried, "thy God hath lent thee -- by these angels he hath Sent thee respite---respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore! Quaff, O quaff this kind nepenthe, and forget this lost Lenore!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore!" He thinks God has sent the raven to help him forget Lenore.
Stanza 15 "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil!--prophet still, if bird or devil! Whether tempter sent, or whether tempest tossed thee here ashore, Desolate, yet all undaunted, on this desert land enchanted-- On this home by horror haunted--tell me truly, I implore: Is there--is there balm in Gilead?--tell me--tell me I implore!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." He asks if there is relief from his pain and suffering.
Stanza 16 "Prophet!" said I, "thing of evil--prophet still, if bird or devil! By that heaven that bends above us--by that God we both adore-- Tell this soul with sorrow laden, if, within the distant Aidenn, It shall clasp a sainted maiden, whom the angels name Lenore--- Clasp a rare and radiant maiden, whom the angels name Lenore? Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." Speaker asks the raven if he will be able to hold Lenore after his death.
Stanza 17 "Be that word our sign of parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked, upstarting-- "Get thee back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoken! Leave my loneliness unbroken! -- quit the bust above my door! Take thy beak from out my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" Quoth the raven, "Nevermore." Speaker tells raven to leave and leave no trace that he has been there.
Stanza 18 And the raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming. And the lamplight o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted---nevermore! The raven stays, his shadow shows on the floor. The raven will leave him Nevermore!

VOCABULARY TEST
Extended Metaphors
Metaphor Metaphor - A comparison between two objects with the intent of giving clearer meaning to one of them. Often forms of the "to be" verb are used, such as "is" or "was to make the comparison.
Extended Metaphor An extended metaphor is one where there is a single main subject to which additional subjects and metaphors are applied. The extended metaphor may act as a central theme! Look for repetition!!! (repeated words or phrases)
Theme Example All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players.
Theme The power of an extended metaphor is in the hammer blows that it applies, demonstrating the passion and commitment of the author. Done well, an extended metaphor drives the point home. Done badly, it either confuses people! Be careful not to include too many metaphors!
Notes Set up three columns in your reader s Title Abstract Object notebook: Example Noun Action Abstract noun Object Action Life Example 1 Example 2 Red
My LIFE is like a river Sometimes flowing lightly and gently Moving along with ease My life is like a river Sometimes rough and rapid Longing for some release Trying to calm the storm Waiting for the sun to shine overhead Extended Metaphor Poetry Looking for the rainbow in the sky My life is like a river I like the gentle bends I like the smooth waters They bring me peace and joy I do not like the rocks and currents They are struggles in my life I enjoy the nice peaceful waters My life is like a river Having ups and downs Twists and turns
More Examples Example #1 LOVE is a 10 speed bike that is colorful, powerful and sleek. It can sweep you along at a dizzying pace or change gears to climb a difficult hill. If you don t take care of it, it can rust from misuse or the brakes can seize, but with regular maintenance, it can be the best way to glide through the many phases of life.
More Examples Example #2 Truth is a rainstorm that lights up the sky, crashes through the atmosphere and washes us clean. No matter how strong the shelters we create, truth can charge through our defenses and leave us exposed to the elements.
Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street Faster than the wind, passionate as sin, ending so suddenly Loving him is like trying to change your mind once you're already flying through the free fall Like the colors in autumn, so bright just before they lose it all Losing him was blue like I'd never known Missing him was dark grey all alone Forgetting him was like trying to know somebody you never met But loving him was red Loving him was red
I thought that I'd been hurt before But no one's ever left me quite this sore Your words cut deeper than a knife Now I need someone to breathe me back to life Got a feeling that I'm going under But I know that I'll make it out alive If I quit calling you my lover Move on You watch me bleed until I can't breathe Shaking, falling onto my knees And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches Tripping over myself Aching, begging you to come help And now that I'm without your kisses I'll be needing stitches
We keep this love in a photograph We made these memories for ourselves Where our eyes are never closing Hearts are never broken Times forever frozen still So you can keep me Inside the pocket Of your ripped jeans Holdin' me closer 'Til our eyes meet You won't ever be alone Wait for me to come home
