Chapter SummaryPoetry Poetry follows no fixed rules. It has changed and evolved over thousands of years.In spite of this, there are possibly four features which can be found in poetry:1. Visual Effects Poetry has various shape, pattern, and structure producing a great variety of visual effects on readers, for example the selection and adjustment of stanza and line lengths.2. Sound Effects Most poetry uses rhyme and rhythm to create sound effects. a. Rhyme: echoing effect produced by matching sounds at the end of two (or more) different words. b. Rhythm: beat or pattern of stresses which is produced as you read the poem.3. Speaker (who tells the poetry) The choice of speaker will determine and control the reader's response to the content of the poem. There are three different kinds of speakers in poetry: a. Unidentified speakers b. First-person or autobiographical speakers c. Personas or imaginary identities and ‘voices' of other people adapted by the poet.4. Figurative Language Figurative language is the use of English in non-literal way, for example, transforming one object into another object (metaphor), or into a living being (personification), or likening one thing to another, different thing (simile). Some poems have no figurative language, just as some do not rhyme.Learning ReflectionAfter learning the lesson in this chapter, you are expected to be able to:1. respond to songs and contemporary poems;2. perform songs and contemporary poems;3. understand songs and contemporary poems;4. write a story based on a song.Now, answer the questions:1.

The emphasis is very much on what is revealed in conversation, on characters and interpersonal relations. The story is dramatic so the elements of action and conflict are dominant. The story of a drama is written to be performed. Therefore, everything must be conveyed through what can be said or acted out. • Short story is a prose story which usually describes a single main event, has a limited number of characters, and is much shorter than a novel. It is a fictional work depicting one character's inner conflict or conflict with others, usually having one thematic focus. Short stories generally produce a single, focused emotional and intellectual response in the reader. Let′s Perform a Drama! 219
