Answer: Dactylic meter.

Explanation:

In poetry, <em>meter</em> is the pattern of the beats. It is also referred to as a 'foot'. There are certain number of syllables in each foot (often two or three). Different types of meter have different patterns of stressed/unstressed syllables.

Dactyl meter, found in these lines from Robert Browning's poem <em>"The Lost Leader"</em>, has the first syllable stressed and the second and third unstressed.  The pattern is the following:

<em>Just</em><em> for a </em><em>hand</em><em>ful of </em><em>sil</em><em>ver he </em><em>left</em><em> us </em>

<em>Just</em><em> for a</em><em> rib</em><em>and to </em><em>stick</em><em> in his </em><em>coat.</em>

Imagine that you are a woman in 1915, fighting for the right to vote. You and a group of women have gathered in the town square
svp [43]

Answer:

Women's suffrage is basically the right to vote, but it means something more than that to us. It shows people that we are stronger than they think we are. We may not be as physically strong as men, but we are very strong. If we set our mind towards something we can and we will complete that. We are doing this to recieve the right to vote, but most of all we are doing this to show womens' worth.

Hope this helps, and I had fun writing this one lol!! :)
