17. ROMANTIC POETRY NOTES Briefly, let’s take notes on/review some important poetry terms…  Mood: How the reader is called upon to feel by the author’s words/images. Ask yourself: “What words/images cause me to feel the way I do? Is this the author’s intention?”  Imagery: Descriptions that can be experienced using one of the five senses. Imagery helps to create the reader’s mood.  Diction: The choice of words that the author uses. When examining diction, always examine at least 3 connotations that are associated with the word and look for what that particular word choice adds to the poem and to our mood.

18. ROMANTIC POETRY NOTES  Figurative language: When an author makes a statement that is not meant to be taken literally. Types of figurative language:  Metaphor: Comparing two unalike things  Simile: Comparing two unalike things using “like,” “as,” or “than”  Personification: Giving a non-human thing human-like characteristics  When an author uses figurative language, always ask, “why?” and “what is he trying to suggest through this figurative language?”

19. ROMANTIC POETRY NOTES  Tone: The speaker’s emotions towards a particular subject (ex.: towards nature, a character, etc.). Ask yourself: what clues do I have that the speaker feels the way he/she does?  Theme: The message/statement that the author is trying to communicate to the reader. It is usually a statement of what we SHOULD do/think/believe as humans.
