read the following poem and identify at least two elements of structure, three elements of sound and three elements of figurative language. for each element, provide an example from the poem and analyze it.
"wealth" by langston hughes
from christ to ghandi
appears this truth—
st. francis of assisi
proves it, too:
goodness becomes grandeur
surpassing might of kings.
halos of kindness
brighter shine
than crowns of gold,
and brighter
than rich diamonds
sparkles
the simple dew
of love.
my
structure:
- form - descriptive poem
- sonnet - has 14 lines
sound:
- enjambment is used since it has us read the poem in a type of way and creates a flow to the poem.
- alliteration is another one ("goodness becomes grandeur", " kindness") this causes us to compare the two contrasting thoughts.
- assonance - repetition of vowel sounds. repetition of the word "brighter" - increases the idea of love/kindness.
figurative language:
- metaphors: "halos of kindness" "the simple dew / of love", both emphasise the worth and simplicity of kindness/love, making them seem both godly and natural.
- allusions to biblical/religious figures who have connotations with kindness (especially to the weak or vulnerable)
- imagery associated with wealth (gold, diamonds) highlights the contrast between worldly materialism and more ethereal virtues.

Read this passage from the online article “top 10 reasons why everyone is doing yoga” by kathryn livingston. what type of propaganda is the author using? why are so many people doing yoga these days? there must be more to it than endorphins; there has to be a deeper reason why 20 million plus americans have fallen in love with this venerable practice. here is my top ten list – and if you’re a yogi, i’m sure you can think of more.
