A lyric poem is usually short and expresses the personal emotions or feelings of the narrator. It is very rythmic, and the most common meters used in lyric poetry are iambic, trochaic, pyrrhic and anapestic. However, some lyric poems have a combination of more than one meter.

Lift Every Voice and Sing, by James Weldon Johnson, is a relatively short poem consisting of only 3 stanzas of 10, 11 and 12 lines respectively. The poem uses more than one meter, with the use of iambic meter for some lines. For example: "<em>Yet </em><em>with</em><em> a </em><em>stead</em><em>y </em><em>beat</em><em>,  Have </em><em>not</em><em> our </em><em>wear</em><em>y </em><em>feet</em>"<em>.</em> There is also a lot of rhyming and repetition of patterns throughout the lines, and it deals with vivid imagery to express the emotions of the narrator. All of those elements are characteristic of a lyric poem.

<u>Answer:</u>

In the book "A long walk to water", the additional members that joined Salva’s group are from Jurchol Tribe.

<u>Explanation:</u>

'A Long Walk to Water' is story which is partially based on true story of Salva Dut. He was a Somalian from the Dinka tribe who wanted to escape the war that had destroyed his land. So, he trekked across his country and entered Ethiopia. Though they had no idea where they were going, had no food to eat but they kept moving. Salva was joined by a neighbouring tribe, Jurchol.

Salva led a group which had around 1,500 “lost boys”. They walked miles for more than 18 months through desert and three countries. Then they reached “Kakuma refugee camp” in North Kenya. Only 1,200 boys could reach Kenya. From here they got a sponsorship to go to U.S. in 1996.
