Making the Best out of it

Making the Best out of it

1.       I really do not enjoy this assignment

2.       It is about to put me in confinement

3.       I’m getting worried I’ll run out of time

4.       But like a snap of a finger, I’m just fine

5.       My pencil paints on words with great ease

6.       Only with the hope Ms. A will be pleased

7.       The poor pencil slowly dies

8.       And with that, of course Annie Cries

9.       Because I still need three more rhetorical techniques

10.   From my mind my thoughts leak

11.   Why would Ms. A put me through so much misery

12.   It’s like she has so much control over us, wizardry!

13.   Although I have had many complaints

14.   I know I have Ms. A to thank

Line 2: is an example of diction, I used the word confinement to over exaggerate my feeling about this assignment.

Line 4: “like a snap of a finger” is a simile to show how quickly I could turn the assignment around despite my hatred for it.

Line 5: “My pencil paints” is imagery to show how smoothly the assignment went after I found something to write about.

Line 7: I used personification by saying “the pencil dies”

Line 7: using this personification is also symbolism for my struggle in the middle of my poem to finish

Line 12: “It’s like she has so much control over us, wizardry!” is use of inversion, to put wizardry last is a different order than we would normally speak.

Line 13-14: is irony because I thought this assignment was pointless, I wanted to hate on it in my poem, but in the end I still got something out of it like Ms. A wanted me to.
