stabant orantes primi transmittere cursum
tendebantque manus ripae ulterioris amore

• emphatic positioning of stabant and tendebant: emphasises the actions going on

• orantes is auditory imagery and tendebant is visual imagery

  • as aeneas walks along the bank

• the difference between the 2nd top and the top band is not a different verb, but the clarity of the responses

• "does this student know the latin and do they have control over their knowledge"

• "could you have gotten this answer from the translation"

  • this shows that you know the latin
    • chiasmus, metre, emphatic positioning

• but you also have to talk about the story (imagery)

• "Analyse"

  • explain and link examples back to Vergil's overall themes and purpose and his story's context

• "Explain"

  • link cause and effect
  • explain purpose of vergil's creative choice

Alignment??

1. example
2. quote (the things you're quoting have to demonstrate the example)
3. explanation
4. the question (have to also align with the question)

it's not necessarily something you're not doing, but something that you should think more actively about (deciding factor between top band and 2nd top band)

aligned:
He further uses epithets to describe these personifications in "malesuada ... fames ... mortiferum" to further emphasise the negative connotations associated with these aspects of death.

not aligned:
if the explanation is about Aeneas being scared (quotes don't show that)
