Theme and Purpose in Poems Written by Teenage Girls

Question 1 • ELPGEQ3 M/J Language Arts 3 - 1001070 HCPS v24

In which phrases from “The Bells” does Poe use onomatopoeia? Check all that apply.“From the bells, bells, bells, bells”“Yet the ear distinctly tells”“From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells”“How they clang, and clash, and roar”“What a horror they outpour”

Answer
A
“From the bells, bells, bells, bells”
B
“Yet the ear distinctly tells”
C
“From the jingling and the tinkling of the bells”
D
“How they clang, and clash, and roar”
E
“What a horror they outpour”

Explanation

Onomatopoeia uses words that imitate sounds. “Jingling” and “tinkling” suggest the light sounds of bells, while “clang” and “clash” imitate louder, harsher sounds. Repeating “bells” emphasizes the word but does not imitate a sound, and “tells” and “outpour” do not imitate sounds here.
