#2. The repetition of words help the poem flow along and can explain the verb that she is doing or acting on like dancing, spinning

#4. Totterig means wobbling while she walks or dances, and these movements represent that she is getting older

1) She spun round and round in Mexico.
2) Dance to the beat of La Varsoviana
3) Waltzing

#2
To help give it more rhythm and movement.
#3
That she always is moving and she does a lot of actions (ex. spinning, twirling, waltzing, etc)

It means she is limping while she walks, the speaker used that word to describe the movements to show that she is old.

The second one she is waltzing because she s older and its a slower dance.The third one she is just tottering when she walks because she doesn't have a lot of energy.
2. We think it helps with the imagery because they are action words (adjectives)  and it tells us what shes doing.
3. We think it shows that the aunt is active and energetic even when shes old.
4. We think based on the context clues tottering means waddling or walking slow.
5. Shes still dancing and having fun. The evidence that shows this is "waltzing on your ninetieth birthday".

The second time she was dancing she had a "long, blue dress swaying to the beat of La Varsoviana".  The third time she danced she was old, "white haired but still young, waltzing on your ninetieth birthday, more beautiful than the orchid pinned on your shoulder, tottering now when you walk". The first two times she was young and very energetic, it also seems like she was a very good dancer. The third time she danced she was old and it seemed like she is not capable of moving just like she did but she still has it in her.]]> 2017-07-19 13:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179042234 https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043072 The repetition of -ing makes the words sound like she is doing it very lively, and I think it adds a energetic feeling to it. ]]> 2017-07-19 13:28:58 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043072 https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043287 The use of so many words ending in -ing makes the suggests that the aunt is still lively. ]]> 2017-07-19 13:31:20 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043287 https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043436 When the speaker says that the aunt is tottering as she is walking, it suggests that she is old, and not as capable as moving around as she used to. Tottering means that she walks with a slight wobble, with not great balance. ]]> 2017-07-19 13:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043436 https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043564 When the speaker says the aunt is "white haired but still young" it means that her age is old, but she will still act young. Some evidence of this is in lines 18-19 when it says, "...but saying to me, "Estoy bailando"  and laughing" ( "Estoy bailando" means I am dancing in spanish.)]]> 2017-07-19 13:34:41 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043564 https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043831 The speaker's tone to the aunt is friendly, kind, affectionate, and loving. Some evidence of my answer is in lines 10-13 when they say, "years later smiling into my eyes when I'd reach up to dance with you, my dear aunt, who years later danced with my children".]]> 2017-07-19 13:38:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179043831 https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179044085 The lines "...on your ninetieth birthday,/more beautiful than the orchid pinned on your shoulder convey the theme by telling that the aunt, even in her old age can still have fun and do what she loves. ]]> 2017-07-19 13:42:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mcrowell/zhjqwu0oxqi1/wish/179044085
