Answer:

B. Home

Explanation:

Anne Bradstreet's poem "Verses Upon The Burning of our House" recalls the time when a fire burned down her house. But the main focus is not in the burning of the house but her dejection in losing her material things. She knows that it is against her Christian belief to think of material riches when there will be no poverty in heaven. In the particular line "<em>Under the roof no guest shall sit, Nor at thy Table eat a bit</em>", the roof connotes the sense of the homely feeling that a house provides. The word roof can only mean the home.

Hello there buddy,

I believe that your correct answer to this question above would be "home".

The other option's dont seem to fit in with the word "evoke's". Evoke's mean's to "bring or recall something". So when you think of home, instead of think of a house, you think of a roof, something to keep you safe.

I hope this helps.

Grandfather stayed silent until we approached a limping man dressed in dark rags, pushing a cart.
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The first uses dialogue and character; the second uses first-person point of view.

Explanation:

The first excerpt is found in Chapter Eight titled "September 2nd, 1973" from <em>Fever 1793</em> by Laurie Halse Anderson is based on the yellow fever epidemic that ravaged Philadelphia. The story is from the point of view of the young Mattie Cook, describing how the pandemic had destroyed the lives of the people.

The second excerpt is from <em>The Summer of the Pestilence</em> by George Dodd Armstrong. The book also deals with the history of the same yellow fever that not only affected Philadelphia but also other parts of the nation such as Virginia.

While both books deal with the same pandemic, their dealing with the issue of unprecedented deaths differ a bit. The first book uses a dialogue-conversation approach, with the characters greatly involved whereas the second book uses the first person point of view to address the deaths. These two books may deal with the same issue but their approaches of the deaths and sick people differ such that their narrative plots also differ.
