Read the poem "hall of shame," by darcy tillane. answer the question that follows:

the hallway bursts with students
holding hands and making plans,
-scurrying-hurrying-chattering-scat tering-
living life, laughing loud,
and leaving
lonely.

the structure of the poem contributes to its meaning. the poet chose to break the lines in order to

emphasize a word or phrase
end each line on a rhyming word
follow the rules of grammar
maintain an equal number of syllables per line

emphasize a word or phrase

Explanation:

The author most likely uses this structure in order to emphasize a word or a phrase. By following this structure, the author imitates the sentiments of the speaker. The speaker describes a fun, desirable situation when he talks about what the hallway looks like. This sentiment contains more words. However, as the poem progresses, we get closer and closer to the feelings of the author. The number of words reduces as well. This highlights the loneliness of the author, and culminates in a single word: "lonely."

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
