PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Solitude

By: Ella Wheeler Wilcox

Personification

  • Stanza 1: "Sing, and the hills will answer"
  • The hills can't really answer to the singing
  • It uses personification to emphasize the meaning

Internal Ryhme

  • Stanza 1: "Earth" and "mirth"
  • Stanza 2: "Measure" and "pleasure"
  • These examples rhyme with each other.
  • One word is in the middle and the other is at the end.
  • They use this because it makes the poem more proper.

Hyperbole

  • In Stanza 2, it says...
  • "There are none to decline your nectared wine."
  • It is exaggerated because of the word "none"
  • There are people in the world who care.
  • Hyperbole exaggerates the actual meaning.

Repetition

  • Stanza 3: "one by one"
  • The word "one" is repeated twice in that same line
  • Stanza 1: "Weep, and you weep alone."
  • The author uses the same words to make everything clear.

Alliteration

  • Stanza 3: "For a long and lordly train."
  • The L in long and the L in lordly
  • They are the same letter to make it sound more mature

Solitude
