T h u r s d a y a n d F r i d a y For nearly a year, I sopped around the house, the Store, the school, and the church, like an old biscuit, dirty and inedible. Then I met, or rather got to know, the lady who threw me my first lifeline. --Maya Angelou I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

1. What is the dictionary definition of the verb sop? This word is not usually used to describe a person’s actions. What effect does it have on the reader?

2. What is a lifeline? How is Angelou’s use different from the usual use? How does this diction affect your understanding of the sentence?

3. Write a sentence using the verb ring in a fresh and new way to capture your behavior around your house. Use Angelou’s first sentence as a model.
