//Rhyme//

The poem "We Real Cool" by Gwendolyn Brooks demonstrates the use of rhyme. In the first stanza, "We real cool. We Left school" the use of cool and school immediately hooks the reader and raises the question whether the poem will actually be about if it is cool to leave school. Placing the rhyme in the beginning hooks the reader, since it shows that the poem will flow well and be more enjoyable to read. The rhyming words are powerful, because it makes the reader curious how the words will connect. In the third stanza, "Sing sin. We Thin gin" the rhyme of sin and gin tells the reader that drinking is a sin. This rhyme is powerful since it is straight-forward in explaining what happens when you don't go to school. The rhyme of sin and gin adds to the negative aspect of both words. In "We Real Cool," the rhyme makes the poem flow easily, emphasizes the ideas, and makes it enjoyable to read.
