Themselves.

This poem focuses on black women's sacrifices to ensure their children's educations. It mainly celebrates the women of her mothers' era, who was a maid and wife to a failed sharecropper. The figurative language she uses highlights their strength and bravery they held and used, to try and make their kids' lives better so they could hold better opportunities.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

There are multiple different answers depending on context, but in context with brainly, I assume they're talking about Edge nuity. Edge is a shortened way to say it and it's basically online school. Many people come here from Edge nuity to brainly to look for answers to questions they don't know.

Explanation:

I had to space out the word because brainly won't accept Edge nuity together. It just puts it as an inappropriate word

What are the five guidelines to scansion?​
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

The last foot (the anceps) always consists of two syllables so mark it so immediately. You can

regard the very last syllable as an unknown vowel length and mark it as an X (it will normally be

pronounced long no matter what)

2. The second to last foot is almost always a dactyl so mark it so immediately

3. The first syllable of every line of poetry is long no-matter-what so mark it so immediately.

4. The thesis (first syllable) of a foot is always long

5. The arsis (the second half) of a foot will either be one long or two shorts: there can be no

mixing and matching in the second half of the foot

PolarNik [594]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Read the stanza from "Twelfth Song of Thunder."

The voice that beautifies the land!

The voice above,

The voice of the thunder

Within the dark cloud

Again and again it sounds,

The voice that beautifies the land.

Which message does the repetition in the stanza make clear?

The sound of thunder up above, crashing repeatedly, makes the natural landscape beautiful.

The crashing of the thunder as it rolls over the land is everywhere and makes the people nervous.

The thundering sounds of the storm are everywhere and can make nature a dangerous place.

Some thunder is coming over the landscape, but it appears that it will only be temporary.

Answer:

The sound of thunder up above, crashing repeatedly, makes the natural landscape beautiful.

Explanation:

Repetition is a figure of speech that allows the repetition of the same word, or the same syllable in a text. This figure of speech is used to emphasize a term, highlighting its importance for the message conveyed by the text.

In the case of the poem shown above, repetition is used with the word "voice", which is repeated several times to highlight the sound of thunder that embellishes the natural landscape.
