The Moon is the subject of the nursery rhymes "The Man in the Moon (Comes Down Too Soon)." In both of the rimes, the author paints a picture of Luna. Of course, Luna is the name of the Earth's moon. In addition, the writer employs a variety of literary elements in order to continue to the overall effect of the poems. The following explication will identify the stylistic techniques as well as compare and contrast the two pieces of Folk Literature about the Earth's nearest celestial body.
First, the author uses different forms of repetition in the two masterpieces. In particular, there is alliteration in the titles. This rhetorical device is also found in lines 1, 2, and 4 in the quatrain. The composer additionally incorporates this alliterative phrase in verses 1, 3, and 6 in the sextet. Moreover, the versifier works with consonance in the opening line of poetry in each expression plus the third verse line of the slightly longer creation.
Besides head rhyme, there is end and slant rhyme in the six-liner especially. In the four-liner, the perfect rhyme is more obvious and hosts two examples: "said" and "bed" in every other line of poetry in this heroic stanza. Furthermore, there are the words "south" and "mouth" (4-5). The oblique rhyme, however, exemplifies by the common morphemes "moon" and "down" (1-2). Likewise, the third and sixth lines of verse illustrate this half rhyme: "Norwich" and " porridge" (3 and 6).
Other than the repetitiveness in verses 1-2 and throughout the poetry at large, there is personification in "The Man in The Moon (Comes Down Too Soon)." The quartet is a lullaby that helps the children get to sleep. On the other hand, the longer rime is about really about the morning and how it gets here so fast.
Still, the two folk tales tell a story about the moon in exactly ten lines. Indeed, this simplicity makes it easier for the kids to picture the moon without getting overwhelmed by the complex details of research and/or more advanced conversations with their parents, grandparents, older family members and others in their paths. The boys and girls are free to imagine the moon and be creative with their vivid imaginations.
