Bigger poetry Unit 11 - a typo?

We started Unit 11 today with the poem Hold On. Is there a typo? One of the vocab. words is "tarry" but it is not in the poem itself. I am thinking, based on context, that the word carry is the typo and it should be tarry.

Thoughts? :mrgreen:

Tarry is in the poem - first line of second stanza...........it actually just took me a couple of minutes to find it myself! :oops: hope that helped!

That is hilarious. I am going back to look. We both skimmed it (and read through it twice) and didn't find it!! Ha ha ha ha ha. :lol: :oops: :mrgreen:

ETA: Okay, I just looked again and the first line of the second stanza says, "You may have to carry on". I think my guide has a typo in it. I am relieved because I thought, "Sheesh, I REALLY need some help to read carefully!" Anyway, you have answered my question because I think the word "carry" is supposed to be "tarry" and I'll write over it with a pen. My guide was purchased new from HOD in 2011 so I'm not sure what the deal is. I did photocopy and laminate the poems for ease of use for my son and when I did that I had an older Bigger guide. After we began to use Bigger I went ahead and purchased a new one. I'll go compare my laminated poem with the new guide we are using. Perhaps my older guide (now sold) had the typo. :D

Hi did this ever get resolved? I'd like to know if it was a typo or not. Thanks, Julie
