the stars began to burn through the sheets of clouds, How does the poet use the word "burn" in these lines? connotatively, to su
ggest an aspect of life experience denotatively, to indicate a natural phenomenon hypothetically, to show how some people perceive nature critically, to reveal the importance of watching the skies
It's not a denotation. If it were, the earth would be cinder long forgotten millions of years ago.
It really isn't to reveal the importance of watching the sky. The word burn is used poetically. If the poem wanted you to watch the skies, it would have said so either directly or indirectly using poetic language. Nowhere are you being asked to watch the skies.
There is nothing in theory about the burn and as a consequence there is nothing critical in the tone.
That only leaves A but it is not a very good answer.
This phrase found as part of the excerpt creates a sad and wishful tone. This is because the girl understands that the world can change drastically and be so much better than it currently is, yet because all the money is being spent on war it will most likely never happen. This causes a deep sadness as well as a sense of wishfulness/hope that it may one day become a reality and the world does become the wonderful place she knows it can be.
national geographic Is a good website to use and wikipedia but I think that will be more confusing cause of the small words they use and half of it I dont understand it
