14. To be, or not to be—that is the question:

Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them. To die- to sleep-
No more; and by a sleep to say we end
The heartache, and the thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to. ‘Tis a consummation
Devoutly to be wish’d. To die- to sleep.
To sleep- perchance to dream: ay, there’s the rub!
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil,
Must give us pause. There’s the respect
That makes calamity of so long life.

Literary Device: Metaphor

There are several metaphors in "To be or not to be," making it by far the most prominent

literary device in the soliloquy. A metaphor is when a thing, person, place, or idea is compared to

something else in non-literal terms, usually to create a poetic or rhetorical effect. One of the first

metaphors is in the line "to take arms against a sea of troubles," wherein this "sea of troubles"

represents the agony of life, specifically Hamlet’s own struggles with life and death and his

ambivalence toward seeking revenge. Hamlet’s "troubles" are so numerous and seemingly

unending that they remind him of a vast body of water

15. Tired with all these, for restful death I cry,

As to behold desert a beggar born,
And needy nothing trimm'd in jollity,
And purest faith unhappily forsworn,
And gilded honour shamefully misplac'd,
And maiden virtue rudely strumpeted,
And right perfection wrongfully disgrac'd,
And strength by limping sway disabled

Literary Device: Anaphora

In the first four lines of ‘Sonnet 66,’ the speaker begins by announcing that he’s “Tired with

all these”. The things that he’s referring to are numerous and follow in the next quatrains. The

world has truly gotten to him, exhausting his heart and making him long for the peace of death. It is

there that he’s finally going to find rest. It’s at this point that the speaker turns to list out all of his

grievances. This is a very unusual structure for Shakespeare to engage in, especially as the

“answer” to all these problems doesn’t come until the fourteenth line of the poem. He starts by

explaining that he’s fed up with good people who are fated to live as beggars when they don’t

deserve that destiny. He is angry about the opposite side of the spectrum as well, rich people who

get to dress up in “jollity” but don’t deserve it. The last statement of this quatrain refers to people

who break vows that should be sacred. In lines, five through eight of ‘Sonnet 66,’ the literary

device known as anaphora is quite obvious through the repetition of “And” at the beginning of all

four lines (as well as the next four). He describes how there are too many people who receive

donors that are “shamefully misplaced”. He also speaks on the “maiden” who has lost her virtue

and becomes a “strumpet” or a prostitute/whore The same authority that unjustly controls the

strong and good also controls the “art” or artist. They are “tongue-tied” or silenced by figures who

should have no control over them whatsoever. This same power misbalance is described again in

the next line as the speaker suggests that doctors control the sick just like fools control the wise.

16. But the Raven still beguiling all my fancy into smiling,
Straight I wheeled a cushioned seat in front of bird, and bust and door;
Then, upon the velvet sinking, I betook myself to linking
Fancy unto fancy, thinking what this ominous bird of yore—
What this grim, ungainly, ghastly, gaunt, and ominous bird of yore
Meant in croaking “Nevermore.”

Literary Device: Repetition

17. Her goodly eyes like sapphires shining bright,

Her forehead ivory white
Her cheeks like apples which the sun hath rudded,
Her lips like cherries charming men to bite

Literary Device: Repetition

18. Double, double toil and trouble;

Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
Scale of dragon; tooth of wolf;
Witches' mummy; maw and gulf...

19. Death, be not proud, though some have called thee

Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;
For those whom thou think’st thou dost overthrow
Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,
Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee do go,
Rest of their bones, and soul’s delivery.

20. Season of mists and mellow fruitfulness,

Close bosom-friend of the maturing sun;
Conspiring with him how to load and bless
With fruit the vines that round the thatch-eves run;
To bend with apples the moss'd cottage-trees,
And fill all fruit with ripeness to the core;
To swell the gourd, and plump the hazel shells
With a sweet kernel; to set budding more,
And still more, later flowers for the bees,
Until they think warm days will never cease,
For summer has o'er-brimm'd their clammy cells.

21. The western wave was all a-flame.
The day was well nigh done!
Almost upon the western wave
Rested the broad bright Sun.

22. To the swinging and the ringing

of the bells, bells, bells-
Of the bells, bells, bells, bells
Bells, bells, bells-
To the rhyming and the chiming of the bells!’

23. Beauty o'er-snowed and bareness everywhere:

Then were not summer's distillation left,
A liquid prisoner pent in walls of glass,
Beauty's effect with beauty were bereft,
Nor it, nor no remembrance what it was:
But flowers distilled, though they with winter meet,
Leese but their show; their substance still lives sweet.

24-30. What is the best method in teaching poetry? Expand your answer.

Reading aloud is preferably the best method in teaching poetry. It's much harder to comprehend

and interpret a poem without hearing it, or better yet, reading it aloud for yourself. By reading the poem, you

take on the role of the poem's speaker, and that will give you insight into the speaker's perspective, which

is critical for understanding a poem. The second reason to read poems out loud is to understand them

better. All those subtle sounds and rhythms, those are directly tied to the meaning of the poem. It's much

harder to comprehend and interpret a poem without hearing it, or better yet, reading it aloud for yourself. By

reading the poem, you take on the role of the poem's speaker, and that will give you insight into the

speaker's perspective, which is critical for understanding a poem.

31-40. What is the best strategy to use in teaching prose? Expand your answer.

- Create Found Poems from Prose; It enables the learners to be more imaginative and creative by

having them to generate their own found poems based from prose. It nurtures their capacity to

think freely and independently with their own ideas and perspective. In this strategy, a poem is

created using only words, phrases, or quotations that have been selected and rearranged from

another text. To create found poems, students must choose language that is particularly

meaningful or interesting to them and organize the language around a theme or message. Writing

found poems is a structured way to have students review material and synthesize their learning.
