The correct answer to this open question is the following.
You did not provide any reference to answer this question. We do not know the text, the excerpt, the name of the book or article, neither the name of the author. Without that information is difficult to know what you are talking about,
However, trying to help you and doing some deep research, we can comment on the following.
You are referring to the lecture "Barrington Irving; Pilot and Educator," an article from National Geographic.
I agree with the author because the life of Irving is an example of perseverance and determination. Irving is a pilot. But his childhood was a tough one. He was raised in the tough neighborhoods of downtown Miami, Florida.
At 28, he had graduated with honors and built his own plane prototype.
So he is a true example of overcoming obstacles in life and has the authority to give recommendations to students. His main message: "if you are determined and have clear goals, nothing can stop you."
It's always important to understand the difference between tone and mood.
I like to say that tone is how the author feels about the work. You can tell how the author feels by the word choices (diction) he or she makes.
Mood is a more personal reaction. How does the work make you feel?
If I am looking for what the tone of this poem is, I'd look at words like "diverged" and "sorry" in the first stanza and the phrase "wanted wear" in the second stanza and the lines "I doubted if I should ever come back" and "I shall be telling this with a sigh" in stanzas three and four. I might make the conclusion that the tone of this poem is one of longing.
As far as the mood goes, you might end up using the same lines and word choices as in the paragraph above. But the mood is going to be a different answer. How do you feel as a reader? Sad? Somber? Hopeful? Anxious?
As a reader, you are never sure the poem's speaker made the right choice. So that's why the mood is left up to you.
“Be” verbs. The term “be verbs” is a little deceiving because they include more than the word “be.” ...
Have. The helping verb have is used to make perfect tenses. ...
Do. The verb “do” can perform a variety of functions:
Can, could.
May, might.
Will, would.
Shall, should.
Must.
When we say personification, this is the attribution of a personal nature or human characteristics to something nonhuman. Based on the given options above, the one that identifies an example of personification in John Keats's poem "Ode on a Grecian Urn" is this: <span> "Of marble men and maidens overwrought," Hope this answers your question.</span>
