Since the beginning of this course individuals have found the readings and technical sections somewhat difficult to read and understand. However, in this week’s course assignment, one might have thought it was easy to follow and understand. Each technical section was easy to read and was not lengthy. Thus, causing to student to read at a much faster pace. Sound as Meaning In this section the reader begins to understand that poetry, like music, appeals to the ear. However limited it may be in comparison with the sound of an orchestra or a tribal drummer the sound of words in itself gives pleasure. A famous literary writer made the assumption that “meaning in poetry is of no consequence.” That most good poetry has meaningful sound as well as musical sound. The reader also gains understanding that more powerful when in the company of meaning, not apart from it, the sounds of consonants and vowels can contribute greatly to a poems effect. Here the reader is introduced to a literary element, euphony or the sounds of words working together with meaning pleases the mind and ear. The reader also understands that cacophony unlike euphony is its opposite. That cacophony is a harsh and discordant effect. Alliteration & Assonance There are many aspects that contribute to the makeup of poetry.
