P- In lines five to eight in the second stanza, the poet creates a sleepy and laid back feeling and personifies the season of Auntumn. Q- "or on a half reap'd furrow sound asleep, drows'd with the fume of poppies" E- The poets use of personification makes autumn seem alive and brings it to life, the use of the metaphor creates a sleepy and laid back image.
P.The author personifies the season Autumn, C.Stanza two line eight, Q.“…tho…thy…” E.The author creates a feeling of a mystical being with the use of personifying and to make the poem feel more realistic.
P.Repetition of vowels C.Line eleven, stanza two. Q.“Oozing hours by hours.” E.The writer uses repetition to create the sleeping and laidback way to the harvesting of the fruits, also to give a sense of time
The iambic pentameter uses a mellow tone to start the poem, which flows with the rythm of the voice. It is emphasised by the alliteration of the letters m and s. In the second line John Keats uses personification. Through word choice the writer makes the last syllable of each line rythm throughout stanza one. The fourth line in stanza one is made frictive by the use of v's and th's which creates a contrast to the opening line.
• Iambic pentameter –realistic and natural flow. Gives it an organic flow. • Rhetorical question directly addresses the reader. ‘Who hath not seen thee oft amid thy granary floor?’ • Personification intensifies the contrast between stanzas 1 and 2 “sitting careless” and “hair-soft lifted”. Conveys the leisurely movement. • Archaic language sets the reader in which it was set • Alliteration with ‘winnowing wind’ • Metaphor ‘thy store’ and ‘granary floor’ used to capture the sense of bounty of natures harvest • In the beginning of the second stanza of the poem indicates a gentle fall into the evening of the poem, a slowing down in the poem iambic pentameter is indicative of this implied passage of time. • Second stanza focuses on the sense of smell
“light wind lives or dies” 2 extremes there is no happy medium
“wailful choir” Is auditory and relates to the night which relates to stanza 3. wailful and choir are contrasting words and creates a sense of grieving.
“mourn” onomatopoeia “gnats mourn” personifies them and makes the passing more over whelming.
P- The writer makes use of alliteration to create a relaxed tone. C- At the start of the poem. Q- “fill all fruit.” E- This creates an image in the readers head of the sun giving life.
P- The use of senses personifies Autumn. C- Through out the poem. Q- “Close bosom friend of the maturing sun.” E- This gives the impression that Autumn is a living thing.
P-The whole first stanza is only one sentence long. C- First stanza. Q- “Seasons of mists… clammy cells.” E- The poet has made this one sentence long to create a flowing effect.
P- Everything is ripe and plump to emphasise the stages of growth. C- Line eight, stanza one. Q- “ To swell the gourd and plump hazel shells.” E- This gives a clear image that it is almost harvest season.
