English

mote1985 [20]2 years ago
6 0

The message of the two poems is similar in the sense that both poems mourn the bravery of one who has died, as stated in option B and explained below.

<h3>What are the poems about?</h3>

The passage in the attached picture belongs to the poem "Frederick Douglass," by Paul Laurence Dunbar. We are supposed to compare its message to the one found in the poem "The Courage that My Mother Had," by Edna St. Vincent Millay.

After reading the two poems, we realize the similarity in their messages lies on the mourning of someone who passed away and that person's qualities. In Dunbar's poem, he expresses sorrow for Douglass' death. In Millay's poem, she laments her own mother's death.

Both authors make a point of praising the courage those who died possessed. Douglass and Millay's mother were both brave people who are greatly admired, even after their passing.

With the information above in mind, we can choose option B as the correct answer.

What does the phrase “a tart temper mellows with age, and a sharp tongue is the only edge tool that grows keener by constant use
abruzzese [7]

The given phrase means that a person with bad temper never gets better or change with age nor does a sharp tongue changed. Instead, a sharp tongue or someone who is constantly nagging only gets better with the constant nagging.

The given phrase is from Washington Irving's "Rip Van Winkle". The story revolves around Rip Van Winkle and how his 'sleep' in the woods resulted in a loss of years where everyone had seemed to be gone while he was asleep in the woods.

  • The phrase was spoken by the narrator while describing Rip Van Winkle.
  • The phrase <em>"a tart temper never mellows with age"</em> means that a person with a sour or even a bad temper never changes with age.
  • This, in other words, means growing old has nothing to do with a person's change in attitude or temper.
  • Likewise, the continuing phrase <em>"a sharp tongue is an only edged tool that grows keener by constant use"</em> also refers to a person's character or attitude.
  • The phrase meant that someone who is good at nagging or complaining only gets better with constant use of the mouth/tongue.
  • This means that a person who's constantly nagging will only find better words and actions to further the nagging.

The given phrase is a metaphor that the speaker made to highlight a person's behavior, attitude. This phrase can be seen or found in Irving's short story.

What made gatsby great? support your answer here with textual evidence
Oduvanchick [21]
It’s the illusion of Gatsby that is great; what his life is like to a stranger looking from afar. He seems to have it all, giant house, handsome, big parties, etc. and he wants people to believe he is as great as his things. But given the end, we know he isn’t really great and he might have “it all” but without Daisy he has nothing (nothing that matters at least) and he realizes he’s isn’t great.
