  7. My Phuong: Alliteration is often found in poems in addition to imagery but may be used to evoke an emotion rather than just a visual aspect to the poem
    Anna: Rhyming and rhythm are used in both, to engage the reader.
    Aisha: Imagery is used in both similarly, to set the scene and make the image in the reader's head. Repetition is also used in both, but a bit differently. In a poem there could be repetition to make the reader pay attention to a specific word and its connotation to show its message, but in fiction, the repetition of a theme and motif can bring light/ attention to a specific message. Rhyme is typically only used in poetry, usually to create a more cheerful tone, but in fiction tone can be delivered through dialogue and just the descriptions of imagery. Structure can also play a big role in how a story or poem is delivered, but can be done in very different ways. Stanzas separate different ideas, while in a story chapters separate scenes with different parts of plot, whereas in poem its more condensed.
    Rowana: Because poetry is meant to be read aloud, there is more of a focus on the oral sounds of the words. As a result, alliteration, assonance, and consonance are emphasized in poetry, so as to allow the words to properly lilt, roll, or snap.
