Summary: Writing Notes AP poetry prompts will ask you to analyze how diction, syntax, figurative language, tone, and theme are interrelated. Sometimes you will be asked to compare two poems. Pay close attention to metaphor, symbolism, paradox, and irony. Consider What the prompt is asking you to do and How it is asking you to do? When referring to a poem, use the terms poet and speaker or narrator (if it is a narrative poem), and do not confuse the poet with the speaker or narrator. When citing lines of poetry, place a forward slash (/) between each line. When writing about literature, use present verb tense. Use action verbs and the active voice. Watch agreement (SV and PA). Place a comma before a conjunction joining two independent clauses. Place a comma after certain introductory elements such as introductory adverbial clauses.

Summary: Literary Terms Conceit: an extended metaphor (e.g., imagery related to buying, spending, and exchanging goods in “When I was one-and-twenty,” suggesting that it is better to give away material possessions than your heart or love) Metrical Foot: a group of syllables forming a basic unit of poetic rhythm Iamb (unstressed + stressed) Trochee (stressed + unstressed) Meter (di-, tri-, tetra-, penta-, hexa-) Heroic couplet: lines of iambic pentameter that rhyme in pairs In Wit, as Nature, what affects our hearts Is not th' exactness of peculiar parts; ’Tis not a lip, or eye, we beauty call, But the joint force and full result of all. (from “An Essay on Criticism by Alexandar Pope, English poet, 1688-1744) Shakespearean sonnets always end in a heroic couplet. Parallelism: repetition of grammatical structure Anaphora: the repetition of a word or phrase at the beginning of successive lines of poetry Epistrophe or epiphora : the counterpart of anaphora. Refrain: a repeated line or stanza of poetry. In medias res Compare anaphora to epistrophe /epiphora: “I’m a Pepper, he’s a Pepper, she’s a Pepper, we’re a Pepper. Wouldn’t you like to be a Pepper, too?” (This is also an example of asyndeton, which is the elimination of coordinating conjunctions in a series of words, phrases, or clauses; compare to polysyndeton, which is the use of coordinating conjunctions between each word, phrase, or clause in a series.) “Then I'll be all aroun' in the dark. I'll be ever'where--wherever you look. Wherever they's a fight so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever they's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. . . . . An' when our folk eat the stuff they raise an' live in the houses they build--why, I'll be there.” (Tom Joad in John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath, 1939)
