More figures of speech: Diction: word choice- authors use specific
words for a reason For example: using “power to hurt” is stronger than
“mean people”
Sound Devices: Alliteration, onomatopoeia, consonance, assonance, rhythm, rhyme, etc.
Consonance = repetition of consonant sounds two or more times in a row
Assonance = repetition of vowel sounds creating rhyme within words (internal rhyme) I Like Ike

Author’s Attitude When the authors begin to write, they
choose words that reflect their beliefs about the topic at hand.
Is the speaker in love? Is he/she angry about something? Depressed?
Give details or reasons as to why: The speaker is sad because he uses
words like sorrow, pity and wretch. These words have depressing connotations.

Poetic Shift
Rarely does a poet begin and end the poetic experience in the same place
Poems usually express the speaker’s gradual realization of something

How can I find the shift?
To discover shifts, watch for the following:
key words: but, yet, however, although
punctuation: dashes, periods, colons, ellipsis (…)
stanza and/or line divisions: change in line or stanza length
