Answer: Dactylic meter.

Explanation:

In poetry, meter 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 "The Lost Leader", has the first syllable stressed and the second and third unstressed. The pattern is the following:

Just for a handful of silver he left us

Just for a riband to stick in his coat.

Can someone tell if this is good and what i should add to my last paragraph?

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

Free education is important. I believe all children should have free education. Believe it or not, some parents can't afford to pay for their kids to go to school. Children that wouldn't be able to go to school like other children wouldn't have the same learning opportunities. Kids could also be having some situations that are happening in their family. If there is no free education what will happen to the children whose families have little to no money?

To start with, I would like to explain why free education is important to me, and why it could be important to other people too. Free education could help children with no money or very little money get somewhere in life. They could become a doctor or a college professor, those are just examples though a student could become whatever they choose to be. Having free education would also allow children to become independent adults and be able to solve problems, or even become a dependent adult working for the government. The students would also have more tools with basic knowledge and criteria that would help them face problems that occur in their life. It can also help the family save money if they have very little.

Just as I have explained, I strongly believe that all children should be able to attend a school and take the Common Core classes with no fee. This could help the children to become adults that are not only strong, but who also have a chance at becoming something in life.
