Don't cry—the best gesture of my brain is less thanyour eyelids' flutter which says

  3. we are for each other: thenlaugh, leaning back in my armsfor life's not a paragraphAnd death I think is no parenthesis E.E. Cummings

  6. Important Vocabulary • Syntax: relationship of words in a sentence. • Gesture: movement usually the bodies actions. • Parenthesis: a curved line, used in pairs to set off words or phrases, usually comments or explanation in sentences.

  7. Figurative Language • Metaphor: comparison between to unlike things. This doesn’t use like or as. • Ex; “life is not a paragraph” -life doesn’t always go the way you plan and doesn’t have structure of a paragraph. • Ex: “And death I think is no parenthesis” -death isn't the closing in your life(it does not end your life)
