What is the ton of Amanda Gorman's "In this Place (An American Lyric)?
There’s a poem in this place—
in the footfalls in the halls
in the quiet beat of the seats.
It is here, at the curtain of day,
where America writes a lyric
you must whisper to say.

There’s a poem in this place—
in the heavy grace,
the lined face of this noble building,
collections burned and reborn twice.

There’s a poem in Boston’s Copley Square
where protest chants
tear through the air
like sheets of rain,
where love of the many
swallows hatred of the few.

There’s a poem in Charlottesville
where tiki torches string a ring of flame
tight round the wrist of night
where men so white they gleam blue—
seem like statues
where men heap that long wax burning
ever higher
where Heather Heyer
blooms forever in a meadow of resistance.

There’s a poem in the great sleeping giant
of Lake Michigan, defiantly raising
its big blue head to Milwaukee and Chicago—
a poem begun long ago, blazed into frozen soil,
strutting upward and aglow.

There’s a poem in Florida, in East Texas
where streets swell into a nexus
of rivers, cows afloat like mottled buoys in the brown,
where courage is now so common
that 23-year-old Jesus Contreras rescues people from floodwaters.

There’s a poem in Los Angeles
yawning wide as the Pacific tide
where a single mother swelters
in a windowless classroom, teaching
black and brown students in Watts
to spell out their thoughts
so her daughter might write
this poem for you.

There's a lyric in California
where thousands of students march for blocks,
undocumented and unafraid;
where my friend Rosa finds the power to blossom
in deadlock, her spirit the bedrock of her community.
She knows hope is like a stubborn
ship gripping a dock,
a truth: that you can’t stop a dreamer
or knock down a dream.

How could this not be her city
su nación
our country
our America,
our American lyric to write—
a poem by the people, the poor,
the Protestant, the Muslim, the Jew,
the native, the immigrant,
the black, the brown, the blind, the brave,
the undocumented and undeterred,
the woman, the man, the nonbinary,
the white, the trans,
the ally to all of the above
and more?

Tyrants fear the poet.
Now that we know it
we can’t blow it.
We owe it
to show it
not slow it
although it
hurts to sew it
when the world
skirts below it.

Hope—
we must bestow it
like a wick in the poet
so it can grow, lit,
bringing with it
stories to rewrite—
the story of a Texas city depleted but not defeated
a history written that need not be repeated
a nation composed but not yet completed.

There’s a poem in this place—
a poem in America
a poet in every American
who rewrites this nation, who tells
a story worthy of being told on this minnow of an earth
to breathe hope into a palimpsest of time—
a poet in every American
who sees that our poem penned
doesn’t mean our poem’s end.

There’s a place where this poem dwells—
it is here, it is now, in the yellow song of dawn’s bell
where we write an American lyric
we are just beginning to tell.

To Infinitive
Writing informal letters

To - infinitive

Look at these examples of the to-infinitive in the text you have just read:
Examples: ... is opening more than 100 new restaurants to convert pizza-lovers to its
burgers.
This is our way to show we believe ...
... which strives to preserve traditional ...

1 The to-infinitive is found in various sentence constructions. Look at these four common uses:

a. To indicate the purpose of something (to has the same meaning as so as to, in order to), for example, She came to see the doctor.

b. After some verbs (advise, ask, encourage, invite, order, persuade, remind, tell, warn, expect, intend, would prefer, want, would like) which are followed by a direct object, for example, They would like you to make a speech.

c. Following a noun or pronoun, to indicate what something can or will be used for, for
example: I'd like a sandwich to take to school.

d After certain verbs (ask, decide, explain, forget, know, show, tell, understand) followed by question words, for example, She asked me where to sit.

Now decide which of the sentences 1-8 matches each of the four common uses of the to-infinitive. There are two examples for each use.

1. He told me to ask you.
2. I can't remember where to put this.
3. I don't have anything to wear.
4. I'm writing to ask you a favour.
5. Tell me how to switch on the machine.
6. Would you like something to drink?
7. They ordered all the students to leave the building.
8. Your sister has gone to finish her homework.

Reorder the jumbled words in a-fto make sentences which include the to-infinitive.

a. appears she hurt to head her have
b. 150 instructions my write are to words
c. immediately we to need leave d like eat to would anything you?
e. to calling father your l’m out find about
f. him he with asked come me to not

Match the sentence halves (a-g) with (1-7).

a. The McDonald's Italian arm plans ...
b. The group still has a cultural hurdle ...
c. Milan city council forced McDonald's ...
d. When the timer goes off, we're ! supposed ...

3. to cook you a new batch.
4. to make sure your fries come right out...
5. to see how much rubbish there is.
6. to spend €350 million.

Complete these sentence halves using your own words. You should use a to-infinitive in each one.

a. He arrived too late ...
b. Your brother has gone ...
c. Do you understand where ... ?
d. l'd like you …
e. The students need a library ...
