Yeah Oh okay Last one up here for you AP

00:05

English lit people Big fat home We're just going to

00:10

kind of cruise through it here and looking and just

00:12

kind of winking at it first The speaker's mysterious voices

00:18

derived mainly from her use of what way Don't see

00:22

01:23

voice Now think that well this voice and the amount

01:26

of objects asking questions in the poem combined for one

01:30

wild ride So we're done with this from We've killed
