  2. Vocabulary •  Laissez faire • idea that believes government should intervene as little as possible in the direction of economic affairs. • Romantic writing • Freer artistic forms, outside classical form. • Possessed musical rhythm • Rich evocative language of medieval and Renaissance poetry. • Emotion is more important than reason.

  3. Imagery • words and phrases that create vivid sensory experiences for the reader. • Ex: “Thy hair soft-lifted by the winnowing wind” = imagery of sight and touch

  4. Rhyme scheme • It is the pattern of end rhyme at the end of a poem. Usually assigned with a letter of the alphabet. • Ex: “AABB CCDD EEFF” AloneEdgar Allen PoeFrom childhood’s hour I have not been             aAs others were; I have not seen                        aAs others saw; I could not bring                         bMy passions from a common spring.                  bFrom the same source I have not taken             cMy sorrow; I could not awaken                           cMy heart to joy at the same tone;                       dAnd all I loved, I loved alone.                              dThen—in my childhood, in the dawn                   eOf a most stormy life—was drawn                       eFrom every depth of good and ill                         fThe mystery which binds me still:                        f

  5. Symbol • A person, place, object, or action that represents as abstract idea or feeling. • Example: “To Kill a Mockingbird” • The mockingbird symbolizes innocence. • Who were the mockingbirds in the novel? • Tone • A writer’s attitude toward his or her subject. • Done through diction, word choice, details or statements. • “Raise up words for their lords, warm with love…” • “A powerful monster, living down in the darkness, growled in pain, impatient…”

  6. Ode • A complex lyrical poem that develops a serious and dignified theme. • Appeals to the imagination and the intellect. Many odes praise people or elements of nature. • Apostrophe • A figure of speech in which an object, abstract quality, or an absent or imaginary person is addressed directly, as if present and able to understand. • "Blue Moon, you saw me standing alone Without a dream in my heart Without a love of my own.”(Lorenz Hart, "Blue Moon")
