Answer:

The poem "Harlem" uses A. free verse

Explanation:

First, let's take a look at the poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes:

What happens to a dream deferred?

     Does it dry up

     like a raisin in the sun?

     Or fester like a sore—

     And then run?

     Does it stink like rotten meat?

     Or crust and sugar over—

     like a syrupy sweet?

     Maybe it just sags

     like a heavy load.

     <em>Or does it explode?</em>

<em />

We can clearly see there isn't much of a pattern being applied. The very fist line of the poem is much longer than the rest of it. None of the lines constitute a iambic pentameter - a five-time repetition of an unstressed syllable followed by a stressed one. Therefore, we can eliminate options B and C, according to the descriptions provided in the question.

We can safely eliminate letter D as well, since we do not have a pattern of two consecutive lines that rhyme in this poem -- note that the two last lines do rhyme and are consecutive in the sense that there isn't another line between them; still, they do not belong to the same stanza and are not related enough to be considered a couplet.

<u>The only option left, and the correct one is A. free verse. Even though there are a few rhymes taking place in "Harlem" (sun/run, meat/sweet, load/explode), they do not follow a consistent pattern. Mostly, they are intercalated with lines that do not rhyme at all (up, sore, over, and sags). There is no concern for metrics either, each line having a different number of syllables.</u>

In “Cranes,” why does Song-sam volunteer to escort Tok-chae to Chongdan?
Dovator [93]

Answer:

A. Song-sam wants to find out why his old friend is on the communists’ side.

Explanation:

In Hwang Sun-won's short story "Cranes", he delves into the North-South reconciliation political situation between the two Koreas. This story works on the divided political ideologies and how most enmities are a result of misunderstood perceptions of the people.

The two protagonists Song-sam and Tok-chae were childhood friends but had to make political decisions after the intrusion of the Northern Communist forces. While Song-sam fled the village, Tok-chae had to stay behind as he <em>"wanted to be with [his father] in his last moments so that I could close his eyes with my own hand"</em>. Besides, they were poor farmers who depend on the land and can't leave when the harvest was near. And when the North forces retreated and the South was once again reclaimed, Tok-chae was arrested of treason and to be killed.<em><u> Song-sam volunteered to escort his old friend to Chongdam so that he can find the truth about why he did not flee and managed to survive even when the North was controlling the village. </u></em>
