CONCLUSION 1. Repeat thesis in different word Why Neruda uses alliteration, like "little, little, loving"? And uses those poetic devices? This thesis explained why, it’s because those are the key devices that contribute to the success of his poem and for the readers to understand Neruda’s variety of language techniques. This thesis elaborated those things which it’s really hard to understand, like those metaphors Neruda used which made some readers of his poem bought a lingering feeling after they have long finished reading it. 2. Summarize the main points After analyzing the poem, I considered the two main points of this poem. The first one, when he used some evocative objects and metaphor to describe his lover. The poem opens with a very short stanza of two lines, and I was amazed by his use of punctuation that immediately creates a dearing atmosphere and brings the audience closer to him as the speaker. In the second stanza he used these lists of evocative objects: “Silver moon”, “red branch”, “slow autumn” brought up a sense of peace and calm. “Fire”, “impalpable ash”, “wrinkle log” evoke something passionate and strong, yet soft and tender. Those evocative objects, just stated how much the speaker loves his lover. He even added: “As if everything that exists/ Aromas, light, metal/ Were little boats/ That sail/ Toward those isles of yours that wait for me”. He also used metaphor to describe his lover, and she’s the isles of the speaker as he’s waiting for her. Also described his own feelings as little boats” that are floating toward her isles, and I’m impressed much, since Neruda has created a beautiful and unique imagery. The second one is the last stanza, where his deep felt sentiment is shown as the clearest. His very short lines are put at the beginning of the stanza. But, punctuation once again has immediate impacts on the tone and mood.
