Hello! You've done well so far by adding a simile (stanza 3, line 1) and repetition (stanza 1, beginning of lines 1 and 2). But I'd like to help add some personification to the poem with the first 2 lines since A. it rarely shows up and B. it's one of the most important factors towards a poem when creating something with such detail.
"The future winking at us wishing us good luck
as we wash away worries with ideas of us being stuck"
These two lines offer personification because we give the "future" a human attribute of winking and wishing luck towards a person. Also, Alliteration is included in both these lines which can be seen by the repetition of "w"'s makes it's way in the second half of the first line and the first half of the second line.
I want to add some repetition for the end since you started with repetition at the beginning since it'll bring your ideas together in a much neater way.
"My family still keeps it's traditional pride
My family will push on making one last stride."
You have the repetition in "my family" as you used above, and it explains the ending of the book with the family still being who are they, only they accomplished there goal by making one final action, which is making the move.
I hope these lines help and if you need any more help, feel free to ask!
I´d say Imagery. The Words describe the setting with full detail. If that´s not it, please let me know.
Hope this helps :-)
For better help just research the meaning of each choice and see which one relates best to the story.
Have a great day Brim!!
<h2>Revising for Writer's Word Choice </h2>
When revising for writer’s word choice, you should concentrate on Connotation and denotation. A connotation is a generally perceived social or sentimental connection that some term or expression conveys, in extension to its specific or natural sense, which is its signification.
A connotation is often defined as both positive and maybe negative with concern to its pleasant or provoking passionate association. Denotation is a version of a clue to its intent, specifically to its accurate definition, extra or fewer like glossaries attempt to explain it. Denotation is seldom contradicted to implication, which comprises associated meanings.
The shortest cave is Chaucer Cave. It’s the shortest because it’s length is not represented in miles. It is represented in feet.
Answer:
We weren't quite sure what it all meant, except that for now, my sister Rachel and I were putting on our finest dresses and the shoes Mother had polished twice.
Explanation:
With this quote from the passage, it shows that they don't really know what is happening around them, things are happening and they are kind of just, "going with the flow" in a sense. They don't understand why they are getting all dressed up, they don't even know what the celebration was about.
