Answer as written by the student:
One example of a pair of rhyming words is screen and green.
Step-by-step explanation of the answer:
To answer this question, we need to observe how the rhyme scheme and meter of the poem create a sense of rhythm and harmony. 🧐
- We can see that the poem has a regular rhyme scheme of AABB, which means that the end words of the first and second lines rhyme with each other, and the end words of the third and fourth lines rhyme with each other. We can also see that the poem has a regular meter of iambic tetrameter, which means that each line has four pairs of unstressed and stressed syllables. 📝
- One example of a pair of rhyming words is screen and green. They are the end words of the first and second lines of the extract. 🌳
- The effect of these words is to create a sense of rhythm and harmony because they:
- Follow the rhyme scheme of AABB, which makes the poem sound smooth and consistent. 🎶
- Follow the meter of iambic tetrameter, which makes the poem sound balanced and structured. 🎵
- Contrast the artificial and natural aspects of Aunt Jennifer’s tigers, which makes the poem sound rich and meaningful. 🎨
Therefore, one example of a pair of rhyming words is screen and green. This is how they show their role and significance as a poetic device. 🎉
