Term 1 week6

I like today lesson . We learnt about imagery . Imagery is used in literature to refer to descriptive language that evokes sensory experience.

When Mr Chua came in , he gave us a piece of worksheet about imagery . Its an imagery about the scene Romeo & Juliet. He wanted us to do the question together as a class . This images were used by Romeo to describe about Juliet . Romeo described Juliet as torch , jewels and a dove .

The are the quotes :

Torch : 'Oh, she doth teach the torches to burn bright! '
meaning :Torches are used to bring light to dark places. When Romeo says that Juliet 'teaches the torches to burn bright' , he is saying that she is brighter than any torch . Light is a symbol of beauty .


Jewels : 'It seems she hangs upon the cheeks of night
Like a rich jewel in an Ethiope's ear.'
meaning :The literary divice used here is personification. Night is imagined by Romeo to have a cheek. This mean that night is given human characteristics .
Diamond sparkle light cast on them and they sparkle. Ethiopia is a country in Africa. People in this country have dark skin. Objects that shine like diamonds in the night sky are th stars, and the Moon.


Dove : 'So shows a snowy dove trooping amongst crow,
As yonder lady over her fellows show'
meaning :The literary device used here is metaphor, since Juliet is directly compared to a snowy dove. These birds are beautiful. The rest of ladies in the Ball are compared to crows. These birds are ugly .

After he had gone through the passage . He told us to composed a description of our loves loves one using the format used by Romeo and hand it in by Friday .
