How do these two poems differ in what they emphasize?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B) The poet in "Old Ironsides" asks for the ship to be destroyed, while the poet in "Concord Hymn" asks that the monument stone be preserved.

Explanation:

Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr, asks for the old ship to be destroyed or sink. We can see that the poet asks for the destruction of the ship when he says

<em>"...No more shall feel the victor's tread,</em>

<em>Or know the conquered knee;-</em>

<em>The harpies of the shore shall pluck</em>

<em>The eagle of the sea!</em>

<em> </em>

<em>O, better than her shattered hulk</em>

<em>Should sink beneath the wave;..."</em>

We can see that the old navy had its glory days, but now it is old, and it is not of use, as it was.

On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Concord Hymn" asks for the monument to be preserved since it is commemorating a special event. The stone monument is there to honor and remember the heroes of a battle that happened there.

We can see that the poet asks for the monument stone to be preserved when he says,

<em>"On this green bank, by this soft stream,</em>

<em>We set today a votive stone;</em>

<em>That memory may their deed redeem,</em>

<em>When, like our sires, our sons are gone.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Bid Time and Nature gently spare</em>

<em>The shaft we raise to them and thee." </em>
