You were so kind in producing and uploading this video for the benefit of not only literature students but the teachers who struggle in the classroom teaching these literary devices. Good job.
man, don't be sorry for the duration of this video as it's super helpful! I couldn't go to class for couple of days at the end of the semester but this video has wrapped up everything in my class in those days. One more time, I really appreciate it!
Hey! Thanks for the heads up. I made this video a while back, so I guess it might be time to revisit it! I appreciate you taking a listen (for the parts that actually work). -CL
@@libertlearning2469 Glad you've replied! I run a spoken word poetry channel. You and your channel will be a great source for me. I will be sure throw out any ideas, topics, and etc for you to maybe cover! ☄️
Hello! What a wonderful question. Poetic devices help spice up our language. Can I eat cooked noodles? Absolutely. Will I enjoy them? Probably not. Language is used to convey your thoughts to an audience, whether that's telling your friends that you'll be late for a meetup, expressing love for your parents, or yelling at your dog to get off your couch. Like cooked noodles, language can be used for its most basic purposes without any issue. However, sometimes we want to eat something a little fancier (like spaghetti or fettuccini alfredo). Likewise, we want to get a little more flavor out of the language we're using. Music, poems, speeches, movies, and even conversational dialogue can benefit from these poetic devices. They add life to the language. - CL
Hello! Thank you for your engagement. "Y" is a strange letter in that it actually is usually voiced as a vowel in English. For example, let's look at the word "gym." "Y" is acting as a vowel in this instance, proven by the fact that it sort of mirrors what the letter "I" does in a word like "tick" or "pit." Here is a thorough resource on the matter: www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/why-y-is-sometimes-a-vowel-usage -CL
Hey! You're correct. We can think of a metaphor as an artistic comparison. For example, let's say my internet speed is slow. Super slow. Videos don't load, web links won't work, and I'm getting frustrated. I can complain to you about how slow it's being, or I can say, "My internet is a turtle right now." Using a turtle's speed (or lack thereof), I can compare my laggy connection to our hard-shelled pals. Thanks for watching!

Comparison of two things using as and like =simile Comparison of two things without using as and like =metaphor . Examples- He is as fast as a jet=simile She sings like a cockoo=simile Life is not a bed of roses=metaphor Captain of their team is a giant=metaphor. EASY RECAP OF METAPHOR AND SIMILE...... AM I RIGHT?
