Question

HELP ASAP 25 POINTS!!!!!!!!!!!

In one or two paragraphs of a minimum of 150 words, compare and contrast how sound devices are used in the poems “The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe and “She Walks in Beauty” by Lord Byron.

Answer 1

In Edgar Allan Poe's poem, "The Bells", he uses repetition and assonance throughout the whole poem. Some examples are "...bells, bells, bells" and "...tinkle, tinkle, tinkle". This gives a gloomy or eerie feeling. In "She Walks in Beauty" by Lord Byron, he uses alliteration in the following quote : "Of cloudless climes and starry skies". This helps us see how elegant this poem is and how much he likes the girl.
