article: With both eyes open, point your finger at a distant object. Close one eye, then switch and close the other eye. Your finger should appear to move off or away from the object when one eye is closed. If the finger does not appear to move, then the eye you closed is your nondominant eye. Another variation of this test is to stretch your arms out in front of you and form a triangular-shaped hole with your fingers. Look through this hole at an object about 10 feet (3m) away, keeping both eyes open. Without moving, close one eye, then the other. The object should appear to move, possibly out of the triangular window, when you close one of your eyes. If it moves, then you are looking through your nondominant eye. This test examines which eye you use to focus on objects that are 10 feet away. You can easily perform it on yourself at home. Cut a hole in a piece of paper that is about an inch and a half in diameter. On a second piece of paper write a single letter so that it is roughly one inch high. Tape or tack the paper with the letter onto a wall at eye level. Measure a distance of exactly 10 feet away. Stand 10 feet away from the letter on the wall. Hold the paper with the hole in it at arm's length with both hands. Your arms should be parallel to the floor. Look through the hole in the paper at the letter in the wall. When you can see the letter, have a friend cover first one eye, then the other. Don't move or adjust your position. The eye that can see the letter is your dominant eye. If you can see it with both eyes, then neither eye is dominant in this task. This test is similar to the distance test, but it examines which eye you use when focusing up close. You can also do it with quickly and easily with household objects. This test can be done using a thimble, shot glass, or similar household object. Write a single letter on a piece of paper so that it is about 1/16th of an inch tall and wide. Tape this letter to the bottom of the inside of the thimble or shot glass. Cover the thimble or shot glass with paper or aluminum foil. Fix it in place with a rubber band or tape. Make a small hole that is about 1/16th of an inch in the paper or foil. The hole should be over the letter so that you can see the letter when looking through the hole. Put the thimble or shot glass on a table and lean over so that you can read the letter. Do not touch the thimble/shot glass or press your eye to the opening. Your head should be about 1 to 2 feet away. Don't move your head while you look at the letter. Have a friend cover one eye, then the other. The eye that can see the letter is your dominant eye. If you can see the letter with both eyes when the other is covered, you don't have a dominant eye for this test. This test examines which eye is dominant at extremely close distances. The results may differ from the results on the other tests. Get a ruler. Write a single letter on a piece of paper. The letter should be about 1/16th of an inch high and wide. Tape the letter to the ruler so that it doesn't move. Hold the ruler out in front of you with both hands. The letter should be at eye level. Focus on the letter. Slowly, with both hands, move the ruler straight towards your nose. Stop moving when one eye is no longer able to focus on the letter. That is the nondominant eye in this task. If both eyes remain focused until the ruler touches your nose, then neither eye is dominant in this task.

article: These materials won't affect the taste of the tea, and are readily available across department and homeware stores. The most traditional cup to serve English tea in is porcelain. Avoid using plastic or metallic cups to serve tea, as this can affect the flavor. In more formal or traditional settings, saucers are often included for the cups to sit on. This isn't necessary in casual settings. English tea is commonly served with scones, biscuits, cake, or sandwiches. This turns English tea into a traditional British afternoon tea!

If you are a student trying to pull out literary devices to gain an understanding of the mechanics of a poem, your definition will be very different from someone who is simply reading for enjoyment. Generally speaking, the "meaning" of a poem isn't a singular thing, but is instead an interpretation formed by the reader and supported by the text. If you are a student in a class on poetry, or studying a unit on poetry in your literature class, your goal will likely be outlined by your teacher or professor. If you are reading the poetry of a favorite author for fun, your goal might be to understand that author's point of view. Speaking broadly, the goal of the academic study of poetry is to understand the poem critically through the use of literary devices (sometimes called literary terms). By using these established tropes, or patterns, you can support your opinions and interpretations. Musicians' goal may be to gain a better understanding of prosody, which is the rhythm and patters of stress in language. Many kinds of poetry fall into specific stress patterns, also called prosodic patterns. By understanding how systems of sounds work together, a musician can more intentionally craft lyrics to fit sound. While you probably won't need to be armed to the teeth with an understanding of literary devices to enjoy reading poetry, a little knowledge can shed considerable light on the poem you are reading. The following terms and descriptions are commonly occurring literary devices that might be useful to you: Allusion - a figure of speech the author uses to refer to a specific thing, event, place in a passing reference. Diction - the choice of wording or particular expressions that an author chooses in his work. Foreshadowing - clues that hint at future events in the author's writing. Form: the distribution of elements in a poem, sometimes regulated by rules of structure, sometimes free and irregular. Imagery - the use of words and phrases, as chosen by an author, to evoke a mental picture in the mind of the reader. Metaphor - the comparison of two distinct subjects, as in: the world is a stage. Personification - the attachment of human traits to something not human. Point-of-view - the angle of perception through which the writing unfolds, in many cases, completely separate and different from considerations of the author. Rhyme - the repetition of the same or similar sounds in two or more words. Simile - the comparison of two distinct subjects using the words like or as, as in: she was built like a refrigerator. Each literary device that you notice will give you an opportunity to apply a question to the poem. Why has the author chosen this particular technique? Why did he decide on this choice of words? Why did he use this particular metaphor in this particular place? You don't need to read an Emily Dickinson biography to understand and enjoy her poetry. But by knowing the time period she lived in and the highlights of her career, you will be able to think about things from her perspective better. This improves your chances of understanding. A pencil or pen and paper will allow you to record your impressions, jot down unfamiliar words, and mark passages that might be difficult for you to understand. This can also be helpful for highlighting and remembering literary devices while reading.
