  6. Extended Metaphor: “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes Well, son, I'll tell you:Life for me ain't been no crystal stair.It's had tacks in it,And splinters,And boards torn up,And places with no carpet on the floor—Bare. But all the time I'se been a-climbin' on,And reachin' landin's,And turnin' corners,And sometimes goin' in the darkWhere there ain't been no light. So, boy, don't you turn back.Don't you set down on the steps.'Cause you finds it's kinder hard.Don't you fall now—For I'se still goin', honey,I'se still climbin',And life for me ain't been no crystal stair.

  7. Figurative Language (cont.) • Personification: giving human-like qualities to inhuman things • Ex: The mean chair threw me out of it. • Onomatopoeia: words that represent actual sounds. • Ex: Snap! Bang! Pow! • Hyperbole: exaggeration to make a point. • Ex: I’m so hungry I could eat a horse. • Sensory Language: writing that uses the five senses in order to write descriptively. • Ex: My mouth salivated at the scent of melting chocolate wafting from the kitchen.

  8. Rhyme Scheme The Lamb By William Blake (1757–1827) Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Gave thee life & bid thee feed. By the stream & o'er the mead; Gave thee clothing of delight, Softest clothing wooly bright; Gave thee such a tender voice, Making all the vales rejoice! Little Lamb who made thee Dost thou know who made thee Little Lamb I'll tell thee, Little Lamb I'll tell thee! He is called by thy name, For he calls himself a Lamb: He is meek & he is mild, He became a little child: I a child & thou a lamb, We are called by his name. Little Lamb God bless thee. Little Lamb God bless thee.

  9. Which detail from the poem supports the development of the theme? Identify the theme. Include one example from the text to support your answer. The detail from the poem “The Lamb” that emphasizes the creature’s purity supports the theme that everyone is born innocent. In the second stanza, Blake states that the lamb is “meek and he is mild” (line 15). The lamb’s innocence is reflected in the purity of his creator, here described as tender and humble. In comparing the child to Christ, the author suggests that humans are born with the ultimate level of holiness. The lamb’s connection to Jesus proves the author’s belief that all people possess an innate innocence.
