Homework notes

The letter is divided into two general classes, vowels and consonants.
The vowels are a,e,i,o,u,some times w and y.
The consonants are divided into semivowels(l,n,z,in al, an, za) and mutes,
A mute is a constant that cannot be sounded at all without a vowel, and which at the end of a syllable suddenly stops the breath, as k,p,t in ak, ap, at.
The alphabet——represents families of sounds rather...

1. Hush!
2. Please be quiet!
3. Shut up
They mean the same thing, but we could use each of the phrases only under certain circumstances.

To make a peon, we must make sounds. No random sounds, but chosen sounds.

28-33
Alliteration, strictly speaking.is the repetition of the initial sound of words in a line or lines of verse.
Sometimes alliteration includes the repetition of both initial sounds and interior sounds of words. It is also, then, known as consonance.

Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within words in a line or lines of verse. In effect, such repetition creates a near-rhyme.

In assonance, there are siblings sounds——also cousin, second cousin.


Onomatopoeia is the use of a word that, through its sounds as well as its sense, represents what it defines.

There is no name for the arrangement of vowel sounds, especially in the final line, change or the interconnectedness of sound is an important matter.

Language is rich, and malleable. It is a living, vibrant material, and every part of a poem works in conjunction with every other part.

35-75
Prose: printed with confines of margins
Poetry:written in lines.(need to understand what effects (authors’ thoughts) are created by the turning of the line at any of various possible points.

Four facts:
1. Each lin could be divided into feet, each foot into stresses
2. It is called Scansion
3. An iamb, or an iambic foot, is one light stress follow ed by one heavy stress.
4. Five iambic foot, creating an iambic pentameter lines
iamb: a light stress followed by a heavy stress
Trocbee: a heavy stress followed by a light stress
Dactyl: a heavy stress followed by two light stressed
Anapest: two light followed by a heavy stress
Sponsee: two equal stressed.


The pentameter line is the primary line used by the English poets not for any mysterious r4eason, it fits without stressed, make a full phrase。

rythm is everything.

Spondee: two stressed, of equal weight, can replace the iambic foot in order to take care of c impound words,

The beginning of the line and the ending of the lines.
Masculine rhyme: the words rhyme on a single stressed syllable.
At the end of each line there exists—-inevitably—-a brief pause.

A self-enclosed line may be an entire sentence,,or it may be a phase that is complete un terms of grammar and logic, though it is only a part of a sentence.
