2. I Hear America Singing by Walt Whitman I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, mechanics Those of mechanics, each one singing his as it should be blithe and strong, The carpenter singing his as he measures his planks or beam, The mason singing his as he makes ready for work, or leaves off work, deckhand The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat, the deckhand singing on the steamboat deck, The shoemaker singing as he sits on his bench, the hatter singing as he stands, The woodcutter’s song, the plowboy’s on his way in the morning, or at noon intermission or at sundown. The delicious singing of the mother, or of the young wife at work, or of the girl sewing or washing, Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else. The day what belongs to the day – at night the party of young fellows, robust, friendly, Singing with open mouths their strong melodious songs.

3. I, Too, Sing America by Langston Hughes I, too, sing America. I am the darker brother I am the darker brother.

10. COMMON LITERARY DEVICES 1. Imagery: It is the use of figurative language to create visual representations of actions, objects and ideas in our mind in such a way that they appeal to our physical senses. For example:Imagery The room was dark and gloomy. -The words “dark” and “gloomy” are visual images. The river was roaring in the mountains. – The word “roaring” appeals to our sense of hearing. 2. Simile and Metaphor: Both compare two distinct objects and draws similarity between them. The difference is that Simile uses “as” or “like” and Metaphor does not. For example:SimileMetaphor “My love is like a red red rose” (Simile) He is an old fox very cunning. (Metaphor) 3. Hyperbole: It is deliberate exaggeration of actions and ideas for the sake of emphasis. For example:Hyperbole Your bag weighs a ton! I have got a million issues to look after! 4. Personification: It gives a thing, an idea or an animal human qualities. For example:Personification The flowers are dancing beside the lake. Have you see my new car? She is a real beauty! 5. Alliteration: It refers to the same consonant sounds in words coming together. For example:Alliteration Better butter always makes the batter better. She sells seashells at seashore. 6. Allegory: It is a literary technique in which an abstract idea is given a form of characters, actions or events. For example:Allegory “Animal Farm”, written by George Orwell, is an example allegory using the actions of animals on a farm to represent the overthrow of the last of the Russian Tsar Nicholas II and the Communist Revolution of Russia before WW II. In addition, the actions of the animals on the farm are used to expose the greed and corruption of the Revolution. 7. Irony: It is use of the words in such a way in which the intended meaning is completely opposite to their literal meaning. For example:Irony The bread is soft as a stone. So nice of you to break my new PSP! ***WE’LL DISCUSS SATIRE LATER ****
