Consider: Once I am sure there’s nothing going on I step inside, letting the door thud shut. - Philip Larkin, “Church Going” Discuss: 1. What feelings are evoked by the word "thud?" 2. How would the meaning change if the speaker let the door slam shut? Apply: Create five pairs of two words each. The first word in the pair should be a verb that expresses the closing of a door; the second word should be the feelings the verb evokes. (See Ms. Givens' response if you are confused.)
