Answer:

Explanation:

The Wite Man's burden is a poem written by Rudyard Kipling and it talks about the war between the USA and Philippines. In the poem, the speakers repeats the same line at the beginning of every stanza because he wants to create an atmosphere related to the burden, indicating that it is always there by using the rhetorical device called anaphora, which consists in repeating the same line at the begining of every stanza. Another intention might be to get closer to the "white man".

About the last stanza, the first line ends with and exclamation mark, adding emphasis to the command.

How does Housman use the structure of the poem to create surprise?
Shalnov [3]

In "To an Athlete Dying Young," the poet writes an elegy for a young, athletic man who recently passed away. This is naturally a sad subject, and the poet does begin his writing with a sad and somber tone of pity.

However, the author makes use of the structure of the poem in order to surprise his readers. Despite the sad tone of the first stanza, as the poem progresses, the tone becomes one of satisfaction and praise, which comes as a surprise to the reader.

The author is able to use each stanza to present different and contrasting ideas. While he agrees that dying young is a shame, he reflects on how quickly youth is gone, and on how many men lost their reputation by the time they became old. He claims that, by dying young, the athlete will never have to face old age, decline or loss of glory. Therefore, despite the sadness, the author is able to obtain some positive ideas from the situation.

Relationship Among Ideas: Identify and explain 1 opposing claim Jefferson anticipates. What counterarguments does he offer? How
Burka [1]

One opposing claim that Jefferson anticipates is that prudence would "dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes". Indeed, he says, and experience demonstrates that mankind would take all of the suffers, as long they are bearable, before changing the Government to which they are used to. But when a long trail of abuses and usurpations makes that Government despotic and not the system that guarantees the rights of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it is the duty of men to take down that government and establish a new one that guarantees those rights. And so he lists the abuses that the King's ruling has inflicted upon the colonies, such as imposing taxes, cutting off their trade, dissolving Representatives Houses when it didn't follow his wishes, and not re-establishing them after a long time, etc.

Jefferson is trying to demonstrate why it is fair and justifiable that the colonies break free from the English ruling after it didn't stop with its tyrannical actions towards them, when the colonists has petitioned it in the most humble way. If the civilized and lawful approaches weren't enough to reform the regime, then it is fair to take it down and build a new one.
