After watching the lectures and reading “The Neural Lyre,” choose TWO of the poems that I listed for the week’s reading and write one 150-word paragraph for each poem on the sound devices that the poet is using in the poems. Include information on how the sounds interact with the content and the emotion.
Use the SOUND file for your discussion, primarily, rather than the poem on the page. Though you should reference how the poem is on the page and how it works with the sound as well.
Remember the elements of sound:
Regular meter (stresses)
Alliteration, assonance, etc.
Tone
Rhyme/Slant Rhyme
Jazz rhythm or a free music
Volume
Syllabics or anything else you see/hear
