Please help me to pick out 6 lines from the poem Invictus of William Ernest Henley that used sensory images and identify the sense used for each line.I also need to pick out one line that used onomatopoeia.
Third grade? This is not an assignment for an eight-year-old.
I haven't believed Rubens has been posting 3rd grade questions this am, either!!
I just want to learn that is why I'm making it advance.
If you're ready to learn about the sensory images in this poem, then you'll show us what you know about them.
If not, wait until you're in high school.
Black as the pit from pole to pole-sight
My head is bloody, but unbowed-sight
I have two answers only.
What sensory images do these two lines show?
Sight
From pole to pole - the north and south
To find the lines from the poem "Invictus" by William Ernest Henley that contain sensory images and use onomatopoeia, we can start by looking for words that appeal to the senses and sound like what they represent.
Here are six lines that contain sensory images and the senses they use:
1. "Under the bludgeonings of chance" - This line appeals to the sense of touch, particularly the feeling of being struck or beaten.
2. "It matters not how strait the gate" - This line appeals to the sense of sight, describing a narrow or constricted passage.
3. "Bloody, but unbowed" - This line appeals to the sense of sight and the feeling of pain or injury.
4. "Beyond this place of wrath and tears" - This line appeals to the sense of sight and evokes the imagery of a place filled with anger and sorrow.
5. "I am the master of my fate" - This line appeals to the sense of ownership and control, suggesting a feeling or belief in personal agency.
6. "I am the captain of my soul" - This line appeals to the sense of identity and control, implying a sense of personal power and responsibility.
Now, let's find the line that uses onomatopoeia, which refers to words that imitate the sound they represent. The line, "And yet the menace of the years" contains the word "menace" which has a strong, ominous sound that imitates the feeling of threat or danger.
By analyzing the poem and focusing on descriptive words and imagery, we can identify the lines that contain sensory images and find the line that uses onomatopoeia.
