turtle turtle Posted May 10, 2015 Report Share Posted May 10, 2015 So when we analyse, it's not about identifying devices/styles etc... but more about understanding the purpose of them in relation to texts.I'm trying to make a list of the purposes of using literary devices but really need help as the info/reasons i give probably doesn't suffice THE PURPOSE OF:RhymeMakes lines memorableStructure allows a uniformityCan put emphasis on certain wordsCan give a finality RepetitionReinforces idea/theme MeterKeeps poem in harmonyCreates mood EnjambmentTo convey its message without being restricted Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bethiedrama101 Posted May 11, 2015 Report Share Posted May 11, 2015 I've found that if enjambment is used the poem is describing a continuous action. So the structure reinforces the content. It's also hard to make a list and expect it to be much help in the exams. Sure it is great to know the techniques but the reason for using it will depend solely on the poem you have. I went with this method for paper 1 English and did pretty well. This method (Below) will also keep everything organised. WHAT- What is conveyed?HOW- this is where technique comes in.WHY- this is where you really need to focus and explain why the HOW expresses the WHAT. This should be the majority of your paragraph. Hope this helps! 1 Reply Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
