Devices for "The Raven" and "The incident in the Rose Garden" - Victor Aguirre

In "The Raven" By Edgar Allan Poe, Rhythm, meter is the device that plays a larger role. He uses it when he says, "Once upon a midnight dreary,while I pondered, weak, and weary." It plays a large role because it gives the reader a rhythm to read the poem in the way that rhythm goes. It also is important because a poem needs a rhythm in order to have a little thing that attracts the readers attention and most importantly he uses it to make rhythm with 16 syllables in each sentence.


In "The incident in the Rose Garden" By Edgar Allan Allan Poe, imagery is the device that plays a larger role. He uses it when he says, "Dresses in a Spanish mater, being patient, while looking at the blooms." It plays a large role because it makes the reader "imagine" an image while he reads this quote or another quote throughout the poem. When the reader imagines a picture from the poem, it makes the poem more interesting and easier for the reader to image.
