English

The language system is semantics. "Coke" v.s "Sprite." are two different words, so we are focusing on a word. When Anna paused, she was confused because to Melinda, A Coke means a Sprite in her vocabulary. She wanted to confirm the same meaning. Semantics involves a changing meaning depending on the person. She is visiting from Alabama, so the meanings may have chosen just like dialects. Thus, it cannot be phonology/morphology, syntax, or pragmatics.

"Here Captain! dear father!
Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

This is an excerpt from<em> "O Captain! My Captain!",</em> a poem written by Walt Whitman. In this poem, Whitman addresses the death of Abraham Lincoln. The speaker of the poem is a sailor who is talking to his captain. This is, clearly, a metaphor for Whitman's conversation with the late Lincoln. The captain represents the president, while the ship represents the United States of America. The sailor refers to 'captain' as his father, which demonstrates Whitman's respect for Lincoln. The trip mentioned in the poem represents the Civil war. Although the poet expresses his relief that the war is over, the tone of the poem is dark. At the beginning of the poem, Whitman writes that<em> "our fearful trip is done" </em>and<em> "the prize we sought is won"</em>, but the mood is quickly changed with the line<em> "You've fallen cold and dead" , </em>which symbolizes Whitman's sadness and grief over Lincoln's death.

D. Hook. It is relevant to trying to 'hook' or reel in your reader for a great catch. ;)
An example: 
<em>The creak grew louder. I whipped around and out of the corner of my eye, a shadow danced. I twisted back. I heard padding feet behind me. Desperate, I turned in circles as laughing began.....</em><em> </em>would that be captivating? Or what about:
<em>Yesterday was ok. We went to get ice cream. I got stawberry. But it fell on the ground. </em> Wouldn't you want to immediatly put THAT book down?
