Test Prep #2

My test prep. word is Alliteration. At first I couldn't really remember what Alliteration was until I started to look it up online and watch videos on it. Alliteration is the repetition of the same sound at the beginning of two or more consecutive words near one another. A well known example of Alliteration is "Sally sells seashells at the seashore".

Here is a funny little video about Alliteration.

Test Review

I picked more than just one word because they all pretty much go together. The words that I picked are Foot, Stressed and Unstressed words. I picked these words because I still get confused about how to really pick apart a poem using feet per line and stressed and unstressed. I was able to do a quick Youtube search to find a video that helped me understand how to do this a little better.

Test Question: True or False- Iambic Pentameter is the most often used meter of poetry.

Howl Imitation

I see a generation full of corruption

A generation that says one thing but then does another

Represents views of their peers only later to crush their dreams

Change is spoken but is never followed through

I see a generation backed by politicians who only look out for themselves

Who are quickly to pass the blame when tragedy strikes instead of confronting

the real problem because it may be the easy way out

A generation that thrives for the quick fix

That searches for the get rich quick schemes or anyway to do less work but still get paid  

I see a generation that shoots down the hopes and dreams of their peers to only gain

in their own accomplishments

A generation that makes claims and accusations but overall lacks truth and a backbone

That hides behind a falsified mask in order to cover up their true self

That lacks in respect for the character of older generations

I see a generation that is corrupt from the layers of problems from the past…

 

Imagist Poem

My Dog Fraiser

Speeds after his tennis ball

Like a bullet shot from a gun
