Answer:

b. It represents America as a maternal figure and other nations as her children.

Explanation:

This poem was directed to George Washington in 1775, before American Independence was declared and American's victory against the tyrannical british rule was still uncertain, but Wheatley wrote this poem to praise and keep inspiring the American Revolution “named Columbia,” which was an embodiment of freedom. Under this context, Wheatley metaphorically represents America as a maternal figure and other nations (<em>her offspring</em>) as her children:

<em>See mother earth her offspring's fate bemoan,</em>

<em>And nations gaze at scenes before unknown! </em>

Themes are developed by authors through the following ways: What happens - key events. Characters - character qualities, character actions and how characters respond to situations may all relate to theme. Character development - the ways characters change, and the lessons they learn indicate themes for the reader. The major theme in a literary work is the most significant idea the author is trying to convey. A theme can be anything from “Love and Friendship” to “Good versus Evil.” It's the underlying idea that connects the plot and characters with a deeper meaning.
Hope this helps!! :)

Think of something you often use. Use modals and the passive to give information about it.

Answer:

My computer is great. My computer can be used at all times. It's perfect to do online school on it. The only issue that I have with my computer is that it gets slow sometimes. And being slow means me having to be a little bit slow than usual. Which I hate.

By the way, if its wrong I am truly sorry because I kind of don't understand the topic that much.

Have a great day!!!
