SUMMARY The purpose of stanzas, whether in longer works or short poems, is to break the images and information 10 into shorter pieces. Stanzas are also important in formal poems in which there is a strict meter and rhyme scheme. In the time of troubadours and oral literature, stanzas had even greater importance because they were helpful tools for the speaker to memorize long works. Blank verse is poetry with a consistent meter but no formal rhyme scheme. Unlike free verse, blank verse has a measured beat. In English, the beat is usually iambic pentameter, but other metrical patterns can be used. From William Shakespeare to Robert Frost, many of the greatest writers in the English language embraced the blank verse form: Blank Verse: Poetry that has a consistent meter but no formal rhyme scheme. Meter: The pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in a poem. Free Verse: Poetry that does not have a rhyme or a consistent metrical pattern. A letter is a written message that can be handwritten or printed on paper. It is usually sent to the recipient via mail or post in an envelope, although this is not a requirement as such. Any such message that is transferred via post is a letter, a written conversation between two parties. There are broadly two types of letter, namely Formal Letters, and Informal Letters. But then there are also a few types of letters based on their contents, formalities, the purpose of letter writing etc. www.cuidol.in Unit-8 (BAQ105) All right are reserved with CU-IDOL
