<h3> What is Repetition?</h3>
This refers to the constant use of a word or phrase, to create a dramatic effect or to make an emphasis.
Hence, we can see that from the complete poem, there is the expression of the poet's thoughts and feelings which shows the mate's excitement at finally seeing starlight to help guide them as they have been at sea for a long time.
it could also be <em>the </em>but i think<em> a</em> is the best option because you only use <em>the</em> if you have a doctor already, which can't be inferred here.
