Please help, i'm begging, I won't pass if I get this wrong. Please help me.

Read the following prompt and type your response in the space provided.


Read the passages from "In Just" and "July." In at least one full paragraph, compare the authors' use of word choice. Use evidence from the poems to support your answer.


from "In Just"


in Just-

spring when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman


whistles far and wee


and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring


from "July"


When the heat like a mist veil floats,

And poppies flame in the rye,

And the silver note in the streamlet's throat

Has softened almost to a sigh,

It's July.

Answer 1

Both poems conclude in a simple statement of when the verses are referring to. The final line from "In Just" is "spring", and the final line from "July" is "It's July". These are simple statements ending the poems more complex vocabulary and phrasing.

BONUS PARAGRAPH

Both poems use alliteration similarly. In "In Just" there is a description of "luscious the little lame balloonman" who "whistles far and wee". The poem, "July" also uses alliteration to describe a man and the sound he makes during the season, "And the silver note in the streamlet's throat Has softened to almost a sigh".

Step-by-step explanation:

Comparing is finding something both writings do, so I found wording that was similar in both poems. Then described and stated why it was similar, and using direct quotes of the similar words from each poem as evidence to my statments.
