enjambment ??

[Daniyahasan]

enjambment ??

yes! i think thats the one! but how do i use it in a sentence
ie the composer uses enjambment to portray blah blah ?

[Opengangs]

Well, enjambment occurs when an unfinished sentence is broken into separate lines in poetry, like this:

"As you can see
This sentence has
Not finished yet,
But these words have
Moved from line to
Line"

This effect creates a very lyrical sound to it; when you read it aloud, you can hear the rhythm to it, as opposed to its prosaic counterpart. Read the poetic version and compare to its prosaic version; see if you can spot the difference.

"As you can see this sentence has not finished yet, but these words have moved from line to line"

Analysis:
The composer's use of enjambment creates a lyrical and fast paced tone, revealing _____. This is shown through the enjambed lines "______"
You can fill in the rest.

IDK if you're looking at your own texts, but remember in Section I paper 1 you can just say "the composer uses lengthy descriptions to illustrate..." and they'll be fine with it. If you forget the name of something specific try to describe it briefly and you'll still get the mark.

What you're looking for could be broadly termed as descriptive language.

hat still enjambment

maybe enjambment isnt quite the technique im looking for cos the way you've explained it opengangs its not really lyrical instead its like a dead kinda tone with no emotion and the sentences just goes on and on without an any commas or anything ...

I'm not very familiar with HSC English but here are two suggestions(?), I hope it's what you're looking for:
- polysyndeton: a literary technique in which conjunctions (and or but) are used repeatedly in quick successions, without commas, commonly used to change the overall tone of a text (it serves as an intensifier, or it can also be used to bring about the slippery slope notion). For example: There were frowzy fields and cow-houses and dunghills and dustheaps and ditches and gardens and summer-houses and carpet-beating grounds, at the very door of the Railway. (notice the repetitive use of the word "and", which can be omitted replaced by commas - the lack of such conjunctions is called the "asyndeton", the opposite of this literary technique).
- run-on sentences: non-punctuated sentences which can be separated by commas to form independent ideas, but are not separated. These sentences can be long and convoluted, but it isn't necessarily the case. For example: You're not a dick you're nice. or you can rectify your mistakes by using correctly punctuated sentences lacking the ability to come up with sentences with accurate grammar can be dangerous. Instead of "you're not a dick, you're nice", and "you can rectify your mistakes by using correctly punctuated sentences. Lacking the ability to come up with sentences with accurate grammar can be dangerous".
Hope that helps

Hey!

So there's a simile ''I think prime numbers are like life''

I used this quote as well in my essay, I say that it ''demonstrates a simple comparison that allows Christopher to express his feelings of the world and others in a unique way, one which creates a feeling of empathy within the responder as they uncover the truth to his disability.''

Hope this helps!

The language used here is definitely colloquial, intended to attract a reader's attention instead of throwing in jargon related to mathematical concepts.
"what is left when you have taken all the patterns away", in this case "taken" and "patterns" can be connotations to disregarding and abandoning any other structured and discovered mathematical concepts, or patterns within sequences.
"prime numbers are like life" would be a simile, that's kinda obvious.
"spent all your time thinking about them", can be an exaggeration/hyperbole.
