Task 5 Digging Deep
POETRY
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Title: The Land of Happy
B. Author: Shel Silverstein
C. Element: Poetic Devices
D. Theory: Formalistic
II. ANALYSIS
• The author used lexical repetitions to
emphasize a significant image which is
emphasized in the line “Have you been to the
Land of Happy, where everyone’s happy all
day”. Lexical repetition is a repeating word
that has already been used, either exactly in
the same form or with some changes.
• The poet used anaphora at the beginning of some neighboring
lines. Anaphora is repetition at the beginning of a sentence to
create emphasis, wherein “Where” and “There” are repeated.
• The author also used the most common poetic device in a poem,
Rhyme, where he emphasizes the use of alternate rhyme in the
line “There’s laughter and smiles galore” and “I have been to the
Land of Happy – What a bore!”.
• Shel Silverstein has used imagery in the whole line of the poem.
Imagery allows readers to use a vivid description that appeals to
their senses to create an image or idea in their head.
• We can also observe that there is Assonance in the poem, where
the repetition of vowel sounds in the same line such as the sound
of /e/ and /a/ in “Where everyone’s happy all day”.
III. CONCLUSION
Shel Silverstein used rhetorical, poetic, literary, and cohesive devices
in this poem, 'The Land of Happy,' to convey deeper meanings.
Rhetorical devices included the use of anaphora, poetic devices
included the use of alternate rhyme, and literary devices included the
use of Assonance and Imagery. Shel Silverstein can effectively explain
and portray feelings, actions, characters, and places through written
language by employing literary devices. In this poem, the author also
used a cohesive device by including lexical repetitions. Even though the
poem is about joy and being in a world where everyone is happy, there
are dark undertones in the poem.
RIDDLE
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Riddle: “I soar without wings, I see without eyes. I've traveled the
universe to and fro. I've conquered the world, yet I've never been
anywhere but home. Who am I?”
B. Answer: Imagination
C. Element: Poetic Vision
D. Theory: Affective
II. ANALYSIS
Children's problem-solving, reasoning, and critical thinking skills can
all benefit from riddles. We can improve our concentration, focus, and
cognitive flexibility by engaging with a riddle. While riddles are
frequently used to entertain audiences by asking difficult questions to
be answered, they can serve other objectives. For example, they may
enable more in-depth consideration of a problem and the
development of a poetic vision that allows for the emergence of new
questions and answers.
III. CONCLUSION
Riddles can aid students in comprehending complex ideas since
they are usually phrased in a way that is relevant to real-life situations.
Students' metalinguistic awareness will be enhanced through the
exercise of seeking hidden meanings and interpreting a text while also
becoming familiar with linguistic devices such as homophones.
SHORT STORY
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Title: The Ant and the Grasshopper
B. Author: Aesop
C. Element: Message
D. Theory: Affective
II. ANALYSIS
• Aesop's story "The Ant and the
Grasshopper" depicts a laid-back
grasshopper who enjoys the sun while an ant works to store food
for the winter.
• Aesop has created a short story utilizing these insects to deliver a
moral lesson to readers. Preparation, saving for a rainy day,
putting work before play, striking a balance, thinking about the
seasons of life, and teamwork are just a few examples of possible
themes in this story. A story like this is nothing more than a lesson in
disguise. Although it isn't stated in the story, the reader can easily
deduce it.
III. CONCLUSION
This story contains a variety of morals and themes. Themes and morals
can and do intersect in this story. The reader's life and the society in
which the reader lives may also influence how the story is interpreted.
One key lesson or theme of "The Ant and the Grasshopper" is that hard
effort pays off. Because the ants spent the summer collecting food and
storing it, they have enough for their colony to live through the winter
months. The grasshopper, who spent the entire summer singing and
having a good time but now has nothing to eat in the winter, conveys
the moral that being lazy or careless will have consequences in the
future. A prominent moral or theme in this short story is putting work
before play, learning how to create a work-life balance, or learning to
balance work and play.
DRAMA
I. INTRODUCTION
A. Title: James and the Giant Peach
B. Author: Roald Dahl
C. Element: Message
D. Theory: Formalistic
II. ANALYSIS
Roald Dahl's James and the Giant Peach tells the
story of a little boy who uses a magical peach to flee
an oppressive household. He makes new friends along
the journey and experiences the delights of
independence and friendship, which were previously
foreign concepts to him. At the start of the novel,
James is living with his two horrible aunts after both of
his parents were killed in a zoo accident. James' life of
abuse begins the moment he moves in with his aunts.
His aunts are cruel to him, making him work all day, denying him friends
and education, and calling him names. When James discovers a weird
old guy hiding in the bushes, he is taken aback. The man hands James
a bag of magic beans and warns him that they are incredibly strong.
James trips and spills the beans in his Aunt's garden while hurrying back
to his house. The beans burrow into the earth right away, producing a
big fruit at the apex of the peach tree. James walks up to the fruit when
no one is looking and discovers a mystical passage there. When he
enters, he is greeted by a swarm of enormous insects, including a
grasshopper, ladybug, spider, and centipede. These insects become
James' great friends throughout his voyage.
III. CONCLUSION
James' journey and Roald Dahl's writing style combine to create one
of the most well-known children's stories of all time. The story's narrative
is outlandish, but it's also clever and engaging. It also provides the
readers with several life lessons. In this story, Dahl emphasizes the
significance of friendship and how keeping excellent relationships with
your friends may help you overcome many of life's challenges. James
and the Giant Peach is an entertaining approach for kids to learn about
friendship and problem-solving. Throughout the dangerous
circumstances that James and his friends find themselves in, James
instructs each of his friends to employ one specific skill that is unique to
them to help them escape. This book will teach young children that
everyone is different, and we all have something special and wonderful
about us. The story also emphasizes the importance of friends and
embracing each individual for who they are. The book's themes and
contents are appropriate for youngsters as a whole. Children adore silly,
wild adventures when they're young, and James Henry Trotter's is the
perfect experience to teach them lessons they'll never forget.
