ResponderEliminarBecause, when readers are able to identify literary devices in a reading, they can understand it better, as well as the different intentions that the author had at the moment of writing. So this literary devices constitute an important tool for readers to develop the analyzing and understanding process of the reading in a more effective way.
ResponderEliminarExcellent comment, Geraldine... Now, I want you to tell me which literary devices you can see in the fragment of poetry below:
EliminarHow do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
REMEMBER THE FOLLOWING ASPECT:
EliminarTHEE: YOU (object pronoun)
POETRY, MOOD: IN LOVE, DESCRIPTION, METONYMY (I love thee to the depth and breadth and height, My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight), ALLITERATION (depth and breadth)
EliminarOk... Now, I invite you to comment on your partner's answers. What do you think of their points of view about the importance of literary devices for readers?
EliminarCan you identify more literary features in the fragments they had to analyze?
EliminarI think most of my partners share my point of view. The gragmet of gabrielys for example,I can see that it is a poem, it is narrating someone's life, you can also say that it has Alliteration and rhyme with -nan, man-
Eliminarliterary devices are important because,these are tools used by writers to express ideas,thoughts and emotions, obviously, these help to the readers to catch or comprehend the meaning what the writer wants convey.e.g: plot, has an specific structure : 1.introduccion. 2.rising action. 3.climax and 4.resolution. ( it can allow to the reader can has a clear reading)

Give back your kissing breath
Leave not my love as you have left
The broken hearts of yesterday
it has alliteration ( Leave not my love as you have left/ Turn back the heart you've turned away).
Eliminardrama.
imagery (The broken hearts of yesterday).
mood (sadness or impotence by the broken hearts of the past).
rhyme.

Good...Now, I invite you to comment on your partner's answers. What do you think of their points of view about the importance of literary devices for readers? Do you see more literary features in the fragments they had to analyze?

ResponderEliminarI think they are important because the reader can understand and comprehend what the writer wants to transmit. Literary devices help them to appreciate, interpret and analyze a literary work in a better way.
ResponderEliminarVery good, Nalyan... Now, I want you to tell me which literary devices you can see in the fragment of poetry below:
EliminarHe is with her; and they know that I know
Where they are, what they do: they believe my tears flow
While they laugh, laugh at me, at me fled to the drear
Empty church, to pray God in, for them! -- I am here.
Poetry, rhyme (know - flow)
EliminarAlliteration ( and they know that I know) ( while they laugh, laugh at me)
Maybe conflict: internal.
Mood
Hello Nalyan,I agree with you, also I think that this poetry makes reference(allusion) to those people who don't know the great love of God, but she is hopeful(mood). On the other hand, Rhyme also takes place. See you!
EliminarI think literature devices are importante to readers because it's the way they can anderstand what the writer whants to express by literary work
ResponderEliminarOk, María A... Now, I want you to tell me which literary devices you can see in the excerpt below:
EliminarOnce 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 some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.''
Tis some visitor,' I muttered, `tapping at my chamber door -
Only this, and nothing more.'
Greetings. First of all, the devices give special characteristics to all the surface texts in literature, not all the writers have the same aim or purpose. Due to it, those terms or as they are called literature devices, give certain characteristics to specific kind of texts, tales, poems or short stories.
ResponderEliminarAs none of the writers have the same purpose as mentioned before, the readers need some clues or maybe keys, that may help them to figure out what the text is about, but not to infer what the surface of it expresses, but to the framework, it means, to know what the writer wanted to expresses with certain words in specific contexts, in other words, to feel the same affection that the writer had while he or she was writing down what is called "literature" in a page.
That's why they are important I assert.
Very good, Luis. Now, I want you to tell me which literary devices you can see in the fragment of poetry below:
EliminarIn days of old there lived, of mighty fame,
A valiant Prince, and Theseus was his name;
A chief, who more in feats of arms excelled,
The rising nor the setting sun beheld.
Of Athens he was lord; much land he won,
And added foreign countries to his crown.
I see Inversion, description, figurative language, Metonomy and rhythm.
ResponderEliminarINVERSION:"Theseus was his name", "Of Athens he was lord".
DESCRIPTION: "A valiant Prince".
FIGURATIVE LANGUAGE, METONOMY: "added foreign countries to his crown". (I think the are pretty the same, let me know if I'm wrong teacher).
RHYTHM: The whole poetry.
Greetings!
Good...Now, I invite you to comment on your partner's answers. What do you think of their points of view about the importance of literary devices for readers? Can you identify more literary features in the fragments they had to analyze?
EliminarLiterary devices are important because through this the writer help the reader to comprehend, analyze and infer on the reading process in an effective way, making the reader feels part of the story.
ResponderEliminarNice, Gabrielys...Now, I want you to tell me which literary devices you can see in the fragment of poetry below:
EliminarThere was an Old Man of Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
His daughter, called Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
It was a good and complete answer, I like it. Simile: and as for the bucket, nantucket. Description:his daughter, called nan
EliminarIt is a narration because it's telling a story , it has alliteration ( and as for the bucket, Nantucket) it has rhythm in all the narration and also has simile ( and as for the bucket)
ResponderEliminarIt also have description, "His daughter, called Nan".
EliminarI think literary devices are important because Those are the intentions that writter has to be be understood by the reader. it means that readers must catch and analize by themselves what the writter wants to express using differents tools.
ResponderEliminarWell,literary devices are all those phenomenons that an author or writer try to add to their writing, most of the time in an unconscious way, and they are important since through these, we can not only see, but maybe feel, all those thoughts and sensations that he or she wants to comunicate to the readers, making them identifiying and feeling part of the story...
ResponderEliminarAlso i think most of the commentaries of my partners are pretty good and accord to their pieces of poetry... It maybe difficult to identify every single one of the literary devices unless you have practiced this for a long time due to the complexity that these literary devices may present, so there are not correct, or perfect answers in these cases, it depends on each one point of view...

ResponderEliminarAs second language learners, we are constantly listening, speaking, writing as well as reading with the purpose of improving each skill, but, It is true that some of us don’t like to read, that’s why writers try to create an special effect in their product in order to make a piece of poetry or prose enjoyable to some specific audience. Therefore, literary devices take an important place, due to the influence they may have in the reader, that is to say, they can allow him/her to understand the intention of the writer, either entertaining or boring, also this can vary depending of the style writer may have or the literary devices he/she decides to use.
ResponderEliminarGood!! Very realistic. I liked your answer :)
EliminarBecause they allow you to identify different aspects of a piece of literature which means that you can understand and comprehend it and you can even be able to produce the differents types of literature. That's mainly why literature is important to me.
ResponderEliminarLiterary devices are really important because the reader can know and understand, in a better way, the different stories that you can find. So thanks to these elements you can also identify each story and have a clear idea of what they are about.
