Answer 2

its not rhyme thats for sure

Answer 3

Hi there! I know you!

You are completely right. Do you see any others that can be eliminated or are you stuck now?

Answer 4

kinda stuck um maybe alliteration i dont think thats right

Answer 5

Well, alliteration would be wrong. Alliteration is when a writer uses the same letter to begin many words in his or her sentence(s):

Bill the boy bought a banana and burrowed it into his brown bag.

I'm not seeing that in this question. I also don't see any stanzas, do you know what those are?

Answer 6

ya i have a pretty good idea what those are and ya i know theres no alliterations cause um u said do u see any others that can be elimated i said i dunno kinda stuck i guess alliteration so i think its onomatopoeia

Answer 7

Yes! It's onomatopoeia. :)

Stanzas are basically the "paragraphs" of a poem. They separate the poem into parts, like this one by Dylan Thomas:

"Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light. (STANZA 1)

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night. (STANZA 2)"

Answer 8

Answer 10

and our tongues keep remembering the rhythm
of the words we forgot
swaying on the backs of buses
and in hot kitchens
crooning
in pool halls and shared bathrooms
yeah/we carving a heartspace
and staring down the darkness some call our future
How does visualizing the images in these lines help you understand the conditions of the lives of the people Jacobs is describing?
They are all bustling and hot places.
They are all crowded and uncomfortable places.
They are all dark and mysterious places.
They are all dirty and energetic places.
im positive its not d or c its either a or b i think a

Answer 11

what do you think?

Answer 12

You are very good at narrowing down your answer choices! :D

OKay, let's look at "A." Well, those areas certainly seem bustling, but the only area that is described as "hot" is te kitchen. Personally, I believe choice A is meant to throw you off, but let's look at choice B.

"in pool halls and shared bathrooms yeah/we carving a heartspace"

This makes choice B seem like a good choice! The empasis on "shared bathrooms" agrees with the crowded feeling in choice B, and those areas described in the poem seem pretty uncomfortable to me!

What do you think, A or B?

Answer 13

ya i agree with you b and yah i look at questions and go what looks really dumb
