    Good morning miss🌼 At 17:04 you mentioned that its important to note that the poem does not end with a full stop which suggests that there is no surrender and no end to resistance but the notes we got at school show that line 6 as well as line 12 end with a full stop...

    Thank you ma'am, since we shouldn't mention the background information of a poem when answering questions, are we allowed to mention Valencia since the poem is partly about her?
