Jabberwocky/week 5

The "Jabberwocky" is a poem with ABAB rhythm. The structure begins with the horrid description of the Jaberwocky (introduction). THe father warns the son about "jaws that bite, the claws that catch!" giving the reading images. This also contributes to the rising action of the storyline. The rising action continues as the knight stops to rest and think. More imagery with the metaphor "eyes of flame" describing the climax as the feared Jabberwocky is perching for its attack. THe falling action begins in stanza 5 as the rhythm changes and the monster is dead. THe reader gets the visuals of the knight proudly and quickly returning with the head of the Jabberwocky to prove its defeat. Stanza 6 expresses joy from both of the characters as they celebrate. Stanza 7 concludes with a repeat of Stanza 1, leading the reader back to the beginning or maybe the repeat is part of the theme-"with enough determination, anything is possible".
