<span>lumbering up the steps 
plodding past me

The two verbs used to describe the way the giant tortoises move are "lumbering" and "plodding". Both of these verbs carry the connotation that something very large is moving awkwardly. Plodding refers to the loud sound it would make when its feet hit the ground, and lumbering describes the awkward way limbs move when they're so big and heavy.</span>

Natalka [10]

3. Personification - Chorus: That fair for which love groan’d for and would die, / With tender Juliet match’d, is now not fair.

2. Imagery - Romeo: The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars / As daylight doth a lamp.

1. Allusion - Juliet: Else would I tear the cave where Echo lies, / And make her airy tongue more hoarse than mine...

4. Foreshadowing - Friar Laurence: Therefore love moderately; long love doth so; / Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Read the following stanza from “Lift Every Voice and Sing.” Then discuss how the punctuation influences the flow and meaning of
storchak [24]

the commas at the end of the first two lines and the fourth line link closely related ideas by indicating a very brief pause.

The comma at the end of the line "We have come over a way that with tears has been watered," signals that the next line is connected to the same idea, although the words form an independent clause.

The semicolon at the end of the third line separates two distinct ideas—the harshness of the past journey and the travelers' arrival at their destination.

The question mark at the end of the line "Come to the place for which our fathers sighed" indicates a rhetorical question, which doesn’t need to be answered. In this case, the question is more of an acknowledgment of past struggles. The speakers have figuratively traveled a long distance to arrive where their forefathers longed to reach.


In my poem, I plan to use a variety of punctuation. I’ll place different punctuation marks in different places and see how they make me feel. The punctuation will help my readers interpret how the lines connect or contrast. Depending on how my ideas are fitting into the lines, I'd like to include some enjambment, which is no punctuation at the end of a line. I might follow that with a punctuation mark in the middle of the next line.
