How do these two poems differ in what they emphasize?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B) The poet in "Old Ironsides" asks for the ship to be destroyed, while the poet in "Concord Hymn" asks that the monument stone be preserved.

Explanation:

Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr, asks for the old ship to be destroyed or sink. We can see that the poet asks for the destruction of the ship when he says

"...No more shall feel the victor's tread,

Or know the conquered knee;-

The harpies of the shore shall pluck

The eagle of the sea!

O, better than her shattered hulk

Should sink beneath the wave;..."

We can see that the old navy had its glory days, but now it is old, and it is not of use, as it was.

On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Concord Hymn" asks for the monument to be preserved since it is commemorating a special event. The stone monument is there to honor and remember the heroes of a battle that happened there.

We can see that the poet asks for the monument stone to be preserved when he says,

"On this green bank, by this soft stream,

We set today a votive stone;

That memory may their deed redeem,

When, like our sires, our sons are gone.

Bid Time and Nature gently spare

The shaft we raise to them and thee."

Think about the author's attitude toward the oil spill. Then explain the author's purpose, or reason for writing this editorial.

Natalka [10]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

The author's purpose or reason for writing this editorial was to inform and make people conscious about the terrible oil spill in April 2010in the Gulf of México, with the explosion of a British Petroleum rig. This spill caused so much damage to the ecosystem and the environment of the Gulf of México.

The two details from the text that support the answer are the following. The author, Kate Jackson, writes that the BP company knew about the possibility of an accident of this magnitude but it didn't do anything to prevent it. She said that David Rainey, an executive form British Petroleum, had assured the members of the Senate that the facility had no risk of a spill.

The other detail that supports the answer is that she wrote that the oil industry always had been aware of the dangers of spills but never has done so much to prevent them. Also, people like Robert Bea, an offshore engineer, had warned British Petroleum.

The Appalachian Trail consists of 2,168 miles of breathtakingly beautiful country. It extends from the top of Mt. Katahdin in Main to the top of Springer Mountain in Georgia. The Trail passes through New Hampshire’s White Mountains and Vermont’s Green Mountains, the Berkshires, Catskills, and Poconos. Towards the southern end are the Appalachian Mountains, the Shenandoah Valley, and the Great Smokies. Hiking through these mountain ranges is very challenging. In fact, some say “brutal.” To date, most people have taken about six months to hike the entire Trail—if they have succeeded
