In at least 125 words, discuss Mirikitani's use of the virgule in this selection and its different effect in each line in which it is used.

Answer and Explanation:

Mirikitani's use of the virgule and its different effect in each line in which it is used.

Virgule is can be seen as a form of slash or stroke (/) that help to divides two words in a poem in order to deepen the poem's meaning and effect.

"on the newsprint/face" has an effect where the newspaper is facing up or that a woman's face is on it. "back then/just after" also has an effect where we're looking back to the camps, but then immediately looking towards the future of it. And "when the land/dried/up" has an effect where after the tragedy of the camps, there was nothing but only a dry dessert because of how traumatic the camps were.

Therefore Virgules are been used to often make the ideas more inclusive or to emphasize.

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.
