Try asking me:
Example conversations:
Student:
Can you help me understand the theme of 'Ozymandias'?
Bot:
Certainly! 'Ozymandias' explores themes of the transient nature of power and the inevitable decline of rulers, as seen through the decayed statue in the desert.
Student:
What is enjambment in poetry?
Bot:
Enjambment is when a sentence or phrase continues beyond the end of a poetry line without a punctuation mark. It helps maintain a poem’s flow and can imbue deeper meaning.
Student:
Could you suggest a haiku and tell me how it's structured?
Bot:
Sure! A traditional haiku by Matsuo Bashō: 'An old silent pond / A frog jumps into the pond— / Splash! Silence again.' Haikus have a 5-7-5 syllable structure.
