SYMBOLISM

Allusion
• Allusion comes from the verb “allude” which means “to refer to”
• An allusion is a reference to something famous.
A tunnel walled and overlaidWith dazzling crystal: we had
read Of rare Aladdin’s wondrous
cave,And to our own his name we
gave.
From “Snowbound”John Greenleaf Whittier
When something that wasn’t expected happens. Or when the opposite of what is expected happens.
Irony
Example of irony in poetry• Ironic• To always want what you don't have... • When we were little we wished that we could be older,
to be able to handle things easier and more bolder.We wished so much, that when we sat on a chair,our feet would touch the ground, instead of just hanging in the air.
We longed to dress up and go out for real,instead of playing dress ups wondering how it might feel.We longed to be able to swim without help, in the deep end,to go out to movies and shopping with our best friend.
But now that I am older, I wish I was a little girl,with cute little dimples and my hair in a twirl.I wish I was little, so that when I sat on a chair,my tiny feet were hanging in the air.
I wish I was younger with my only problem a broken toy,so little I didn't know the pain of loving a boy.For then my soul wouldn't have been torn apart,I wish I was a little girl for toys are easier to mend then a broken heart.

Lyrical Poetry• Students go to lyrics.com or a lyric website and pick
out a song that they feel is poetic.• Students write about their song, why they chose it and
what it means to them. Also, they must pick out 3 elements of figurative language, metaphors, similies, etc.
• Create a word document with the lyrics- must be checked by Mrs. Dennis. Students may present lyrics and play music for the class. They show us the poetic elements that they have found and label them.
• *Students are graded on participation and their ability to address the poetic concepts in their song.
Oxymoron• Dry lake • Fuzzy logic • Living dead • Free gift • Numb sensation • Same difference, once again • Stand down • Metal woods (Golfers) • Anarchy rules! • Park drive • Jumbo shrimp• Tight slacks• Pretty ugly

“Saturday At The Canal”
• By Gary Soto- from The Norton Anthology of Modern Poetry- 2nd Edition• I was hoping to be happy by seventeen.
School was a sharp check mark in the roll book,An obnoxious tuba playing at noon because our teamWas going to win at night. The teachers wereToo close to dying to understand. The hallwaysStank of poor grades and unwashed hair. Thus,A friend and I sat watching the water on Saturday,Neither of us talking much, just warming ourselvesBy hurling large rocks at the dusty groundAnd feeling awful because San Francisco was a postcardOn a bedroom wall. We wanted to go there,Hitchhike under the last migrating birdsAnd be with people who knew more than three chordsOn a guitar. We didn't drink or smoke,But our hair was shoulder length, wild whenThe wind picked up and the shadows ofThis loneliness gripped loose dirt. By bus or car,By the sway of train over a long bridge,We wanted to get out. The years frozeAs we sat on the bank. Our eyes followed the water,White-tipped but dark underneath, racing out of town.

"Friday at Cary" By Bryan StillI was hoping to be happy by seventeen.School was a roll call, seven classes, and lunch.Our bands were not heard playing, For our chances of winning the game were slim.The teachers were too young and enthusiastic to understand.The hallways were rich with good grades and students slow to get to class.A friend and I were talking by the computers,Absorbed in the conversation- we were supposed to be working.I felt confident because college and scholarships were in my pocket.I wanted to go there; to college,Where new freedoms awaited, like the breaking of chains.I wouldn’t break their trust, or the law.My hair was gelled, gently rustling with every movementYet unaffected by cold, smiting windsThat bite your face on frosty, winter days.I wanted to leave high school,To skip those long, toiling years of work and preparations.I wanted to get to college, my adulthood: my freedom.
