Understanding Iambic Pentameter. When we speak, our syllables are either stressed (stronger emphasis) or unstressed (weaker emphasis). For example, the word remark consists of two syllables. Re is the unstressed syllable, with a weaker emphasis, while mark is stressed, with a stronger emphasis. In poetry, a group of two or three syllables is referred to as a foot. A specific type of foot is an iamb. A foot is an iamb if it consists of one unstressed syllable followed by a stressed syllable, so the word remark is an iamb. Pent means five, so a line of iambic pentameter consists of five iambs â five sets of unstressed syllables followed by stressed syllables.
Framingham is located in eastern Massachusetts, 20 miles (32 km) west of Boston, midway between Boston and Worcester. It is bordered by Southborough and Marlborough on the west; Sherborn and Ashland on the south; Natick on the east; Wayland on the northeast; and Sudbury on the north.
Within five minutes of my Framingham home there are four different centers: 1  an ALOHA (an acronym for Abacus Learning of Higher Arithmetic), 2  a Chyten Center, 3  a Kumon Center, and the. 4  MetroWest School of Mathematics (co-owned by the Russian School of Mathematics).
