Read the excerpt from stanzas 3 and 4 of "The Turtle.”It isn’t even hers but came to herin the rain or the soft wind,which is a gate through which her life keeps walking.She can’t seeherself apart from the rest of the worldor the world from what she must doevery spring.Crawling up the high hill,luminous under the sand that has packed against her skin,she doesn’t dreamWhich effect does the repeated "s” sound have on this part of the poem?
The repeated “s” sound in words such as “soft,” “see,” “herself,” and “spring” gives the lines a gentle, flowing sound. This repetition creates rhythm as the poem is read aloud. It does not establish a regular meter or make the words rhyme.
