Quiz Review

We will have our second poetry quiz tomorrow (50 pts.). This will be mainly a multiple choice exercise, and you will need to know the following terms to do well on it:

Simile
Metaphor
Personification
Paradox
Assonance
Alliteration
Synesthesia
Onomatopoeia
Ceasura
Rhyme
Meter
Tone
Consonance

The link I posted earlier will help, as will the glossary of terms on p. 1635 of Perrine's. Re-reading chapters 10-13 won't hurt either.
