closure:
In your own words, define a conciet.
Crystal Egbe, Crystol McTaggart
SWBAT gain a better understanding of what a conceit is, through an interactive lesson.
Create a two sentence metaphor comparing two vastly different things.
Serously what is it.
Conceit is a figure of speech in which two vastly different objects are likened together with the help of similes or metaphors.
“Thou counterfeit’st a bark, a sea, a wind;
For still thy eyes, which I may call the sea,
Do ebb and flow with tears; the bark thy body is,
Sailing in this salt flood; the winds, thy sighs;
Who, raging with thy tears, and they with them,
Without a sudden calm, will overset
Thy tempest-tossed body.”
Capulet comes to Juliet’s room after Romeo has left. He compares Juliet to a boat in a storm. In the comparision, her eyes are the sea, her tears are the storm, and her sighs are the wind.
