<span>To wrestle with a dilemma means to have difficulty deciding between competing resolutions of a problem. This phrase is an example of personification, in that the activity of deciding between alternatives is likened to the activity of wrestling. So the dilemma itself is talked about as if it is able actively resist solution, to fight back, as it were, against being pinned down.</span>

Reread the second section of the song. Using textual evidence to support your answer, what can you infer about the journey forwa
blagie [28]

Answer:

The dark past which was the period of slavery was marked with faith and hope that someday the blacks will be redeemed from their bondage. The second section begins thus, "Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us". This shows that during the dark past, what kept the slaves going was the faith that they had in their future redemption.

Explanation:

The song,<em> Lift Every Voice </em>by J. Rosamond Johnson and James Weldon Johnson, was a song of liberty by African Americans on their freedom from slavery. Known as the "Black National Anthem" in the United States, the song was composed to mark the anniversary of the birthday of former U.S President, Abraham Lincoln in 1905.

Lincoln fought for and officially realized the freedom of Blacks from slavery in the United States. The song reflects on their struggles in the past as slaves and the hope they had that they would someday, realize freedom.

in this excerpt from “Porphyria’s Lover” by Robert Browning, which lines suggest that the speaker doubts the depth of Porphyria'
Airida [17]
In my opinion, those lines are: "<span>Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour, To set its struggling passion free From pride, and vainer ties dissever." At this moment, Porphyria confesses her love for the speaker. But he is on the verge of doubting it because he thinks that she is too weak to give herself entirely to him, and because she is obviously unwilling to cut those "vainer ties". He doesn't really explain what these ties are and why they are vain. Maybe he has low self-confidence and therefore thinks that he is not worthy of her. Anyway, the following lines ("But passion...") function as a counterpoint because she actually gave up a jolly party and came in the stormy night to the cottage just to be with him - which probably means that she really cares about him. But it doesn't neutralize his initial doubt.</span>
