DOCUMENT PREVIEW:
1.1 The poem uses fast rhythm. It uses short lines, clipped syllables, sharp
and high vowel sounds. The poem uses abrupt consonant sounds
(k,t,c,s). The effect of this is feelings of happiness, excitement as well as
suspense. The poem creates a suspense as to where the children are
going to school.
The poem also uses a simile, ‘As many tightly squeeze……’. This is to
compare the two elements in the poem as the poem compares the
elements in the poem.
Alliteration is used in the poem to give the poem a sounding. ‘Small
Sam sneezes over us, so we screech.’ These four alliterative words slow
the poem allowing the reader to savor the experience more
completely
