Catalog Presentation
Transcript: The Catalog Catalog Structure Structure A literary device used in poetry and prose to give us a list of things and create a rhetorical effect. Writers use it to make a list of multiple thoughts in a unified form. However, the poet's do not add Catalogs randomly, and they are well thought. The "list" is deliberately inserted to make the audience enjoy the conventional style of poetry. Example Characteristics Characteristics It reads like a list which can be sentences OR phrases The list is connected thematically in some way; it is NOT just a random list There's often repetition "Goblin Market" by Christina Rossetti Example Raymond Carver Was an American short story writer and poet. He was a major writer of the late 20th century and a major force in the revitalization of the American short story in literature during the 1980's.
