Read the following lines from "ten songs"
Walked through a wood, saw the birds in the trees;
They had no plitcians and sang at their ease:
They weren't human race, my dear, they weren't the human race

Dreamed I saw a building with a thousand floors,
A thousand windows and a thousand doors,
Not one of them was ours,my dear not one of them was ours

Stood on a great plain the falling snow;
Ten thousand soldiers marched to and fro
Looking for you and me, my dear looking for you and me

What structure was this in?
aab bbc ccd
aab bbd eef
aba bcb cdc

I'm not really good with poem structures... but I can try to find an answer somewhere.  do you know who the author is by any chance?

anonymous · Answer

hmm let me look it up

blurbendy · Answer

nevermind, I think I got it

blurbendy · Answer

so let me explain rhyme schemes

blurbendy · Answer

for example if you see something like

aab, bbc, ccd

each letter refers to a line in the poem

blurbendy · Answer

aab, for example, means that the first TWO lines rhyme, and the third does not

anonymous · Answer

Ohh cool

Identify the underlined phrase in each sentence
(according to the letter), the wedding is June 25
*prepositional
participial
gerund
infinitive

anonymous · Answer

I don't know what the words mean

blurbendy · Answer

prepositions or prepositional phrases indicate where something is in the physical world.

participal phrases begin with -ing words, and act as an adjective

gerund phrases also begin with -ing words, but behave as a noun.

infinitive phrases usually begin with "to" and are followed by a verb

blurbendy · Answer

based on this, which one do you think it is?

anonymous · Answer

Inititive?

Josi's project was a failure having not prepared properly
misplaced modifier
dangling modifier
correct

anonymous · Answer

I don't know what these mean

blurbendy · Answer

Modifiers are words, phrases, or clauses that add description

Dangling modifier - The modifier dangles because the missing target word leaves nothing for the modifier to describe

misplaced modifier - a modifier placed too far away from the word it should describe

anonymous · Answer

hmm I don't see anything to fix tho?

blurbendy · Answer

the trouble is with "having not prepared properly"

  who did not prepare properly?
what was not prepared properly?

anonymous · Answer

so its a dangling modifier or am I not understanding?

blurbendy · Answer

yes, that's right

anonymous · Answer

Awesome! Thank so much!!
