ReplyDelete1. Keats portrays Autumn to be quite complacent, and longing secretly for spring.
2. The rhyming scheme of the poem is unique. The rhyming varies in structure to give the poem a slower pace, make it more drawn out and put emphasis on the diction.
3. The songs of autumn are created by the small knats, mourning by the river. Autumn's music is very sad, surrounded by the fading side effects of fall.
4. Each stanza contains 11 lines with a peculiar rhyming scheme. The setting of the piece is somewhat Elizabethan, which can be interpreted from the language and very rural. The stanza's work together to show off Autumn's different emotional states: calm and complacent, reflective, and sad and longing.
1. Keane personifies autumn in a sleepy and drowsy fashion. Compared to all of the birth that is accompanied with Spring, Autumn is a slower season slunk in its slumber.
ReplyDelete2. The rhyme scheme is a,b,a,b,c,d,e,d,c,c,e. Which is an atypical rhyme scheme. It allows the rhyme to be noticed, but not an overpowering element of the poem.
3. Keane's descriptive language leads to a very rich poem. Keane includes a lot of the natural elements that we all see in autumn, the smells we all smell, the sounds we all hear etc.
4. Each stanza contains 11 sentences. Each stanza has a focus point that connects with the next stanza. The first stanza focuses on the fruit that comes in autumn, stanza two describes the personality of autumn, and then last describes the music of autumn.
1. Keane describes Autumn as a melancholy and quiet person.
ReplyDelete2.The rhyme scheme of the poem is existent but simplistic. It gives the poem some music but does not make it the focus of the poem.
3. The sounds of Autumn are quiet and slow ones that are made by the rivers, and the leaves, and the wind, and a thousand other things. The sounds are half mourning.
4.Each stanza is 11 lines long. They each focus on one aspect of Autumn with the first focusing on the nature and fruit of the season, the second being on the personality and feeling of the season, and the last being of the music and sounds of it.
1. Keats characterized autumn as a reserved person, who only passes by between season. Autumn also seems to be waiting for summer and the spring in the same fashion that the flowers are.
ReplyDelete2. The rhyme scheme of the poem allows for the reader to draw imagery string to the things within the poem that are important in the poem. It also gives the reader a sense of pace of which way the reader should read the poem.
3.The song that Keats creates for autumn contains the elementary aspects of autumn that the general population doesn't recognize.
4. Each stanza is made of eleven lines. The three stanzas work together to give a good sense of the emotions that autumn is experiences at the time. The first stanza simply describes the fruits and the goodness that autumn brings, the second goes more into describing the personality and the type of person autumn is and the last tells the music that autumn creates.
