The correct answer is B. He speaks of old Iron sides as being put to death as if it were a sentient being.

<u>Explanation</u>

  • Old iron sides were written by an American poet and writer Oliver Wendell Holmes in the year 1868. This poem s written by Holmes to pay his tributes and appreciate the services of the USS Constitution, one of the oldest commissioned naval vessel or ship in the world.
  • The USS constitution is also known as the old Iron Slides which was named by the then president of United States George Washington. This vessel witnessed several starting from the Quasi-war and finally, it got its nickname the old Iron slides during the war of 1812.
  • The poem The Old Iron Sides was written as a response to protest and resentment to the nation's Navy move to scrap the services of the USS constitution. The Navy had finally decided that they would dismantle the ship and would not use it anymore. Subsequently, Holmes decided to express the nation's sentiment through his poem. In the poem, the poet expresses a mood of pervasive regret and disappointment by writing bout the ship's end s if it was living being.

Write an article for publication in your school magazine on the topic relationship between parent and their children should be c
Yuri [45]

The assignment wants to know your stance on what the parent-child relationship should be. As I cannot access your opinions, I cannot write your article, but I will show you in detail how to write it.

<h3>Article structure</h3>
  • Introduction: Explain what the parent-child relationship is and show how this relationship is important for a child's behavior. The introduction should be a short paragraph.

  • Thesis statement: Show that you believe this relationship should be established cordially between all involved. The thesis statement must be made in just one sentence and must be placed at the end of the introduction.

  • Body: Write two paragraphs. In the first paragraph, you will show the reasons that support your thesis statement, that is, you will show evidence that the cordial relationship between parents and children should be stimulated because it is beneficial. In the second paragraph, you will criticize non-cordial parent-child relationships and show evidence of how evil they are.

  • Conclusion: You should write one more short paragraph. In this paragraph, you will summarize the most important points of your article and recall your thesis statement in a way that makes it stronger.

Below you can see an example of how the introduction with a thesis statement can be written.

<em>The relationship between parents and children is extremely important for family well-being and the emotional, psychological, and behavioral construction of children. This shows that this relationship should be cordial, where all family members respect each other, understand each other, and are kind to each other.</em>

How does magical realism differ from fantasy
Lana71 [14]
I see it as difference between two of my 2 favourite contemporary works

Harry Potter - magical realism - takes place in our 'real' world with, I must say, substantial addition of 'magical' to it, but still, seen as normal by those involved

Lord of the rings - fantasy - whole different world.

I hope I explained it well..
