m. Sound Effective Devices


Consonance
In poetry, consonance can be used to create a musical or rhyming effect. Consonance
is often found in works of Francisco Arcellana, such as The Other Woman. This
technique involves the repetition of similar consonant sounds in two or more words
closely together, usually in the same sentence. This can create a more harmonious
sound, which can be useful in poems where the author wants to evoke a certain mood.
Assonance
The other woman by Francisco Arcellana is a short story that employs assonance.
Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds to create an internal rhyme within a phrase
or sentence. This literary device is used throughout the story to create a sense of
unease and to foreshadow the events to come. The use of assonance in the other
woman creates a sense of unease that is reinforced by the events of the story.

The poem The Other Woman by Francisco Arcellana uses assonance to create a
feeling of sadness and loneliness.
In the first stanza, the use of words such as lone, sad, and mad creates a sense of
isolation.
The second stanza furthers this feeling with the use of words such as desolate, empty,
and cold. The poem concludes with the use of the word alone, which reinforces the
feeling of loneliness and despair.
n. figure of speech
A figure of speech is often defined as a literary device that uses words in a non-literal
way in order to create an effect or to make a point. Figures of speech are often used in
poetry and prose in order to add depth and dimension to the text. In Francisco
Arcellana's The Other Woman, the author uses several figures of speech in order to
create an atmosphere of mystery and suspense. The most prominent figure of speech
used in the text is personification.
Personification is a figure of speech that uses the word “it” to represent a non-human
entity. This figure of speech is often used to create an atmosphere of mystery and
suspense. For example, in the passage “The other woman looked like she”, the author
uses the pronoun “it” to represent the other woman. This pronoun is personified, which
means that it is given human characteristics.
Review about the poem from our group:
My Review of The Other Woman by Francisco Arcellana There are many things in the
story that can be interpreted in different ways. Some people might see the story as
being about an old woman who was betrayed by the other woman. Others might see it
as a story about how love can make people do crazy things. No matter what people see
in the story, it is definitely an interesting read. But the moral lesson in the story is that
there are a lot of ways to deal with a broken heart. Some listen to music, some think of
happy memories, and some find new love. However, the best way to deal with a broken
heart is to learn from the experience and use it to become a better person. and also
One such lesson is that it is never too late to learn from one's mistakes and to change
for the better. This was the moral lesson in the short story "The Other Woman" by
Francisco Arcellana. -Kyla R.
