<u>Metaphors in “O Captain! My Captain!” by Whitman:</u>

The poem is an elegy  mourning the death of the  American President Abraham Lincoln.  Written by Walt Whitman in 1865, it is an extended metaphor honoring the 16th President of America and regretting his demise.

A metaphor is an implied Comparison.  The poem is an extended metaphor,  which means it is a comparison between two dissimilar things continuing in sentences and stanzas in the poem.

In the poem, the ship has been compared to the United States of America, having gone through the civil war and coming back  unvanquished,  victorious to receive a cheerful welcome by the masses.Though the war is won, the captain has lost his life.

The poet laments the loss of the captain of the ship who is ‘lying cold and dead‘ provoking sorrow and grief and leaving the poet sad. The captain here refers to the President who was the president during  the American Civil War and was assassinated while in office that is why the captain is lying dead  on the ship.

PLEASE I REALLY NEED HELP! I WILL MARK BRAINLIEST TO THE FIRST TWO PEOPLE WHO HELP
xeze [42]

The poem ends with an acceptance that pleasure cannot last and that death is an inevitable part of life. In the poem, Keats imagines the loss of the physical world and sees himself dead—as a "sod" over which the nightingale sings.

Three main thoughts stand out in the ode. The second main thought and the main theme of the poem is Keats' wish that he might die and be rid of life altogether, providing he could die as easily and painlessly as he could fall asleep. Hearing this the author doesn’t think that dying is going to be painful the author is hoping to make it easy as “falling asleep”

anyone know how i could write an english short story in the perspective of an elephant being poached for 300-500 words pls give
wel

If I was the writer, standing in the shoes of an elephant, I'd start off describing my peaceful life. I'd describe how we were peaceful mammals. We (Meaning the elephant and his elephant friends and family) always went about our business and did what was needed to live. Poachers came to hunt us down quite often, just because our skin was considered rare amongst the African People, they would kill us. Describe how the semi humane people would not kill the elephant, but buy the skin from the seller. These killers, the poachers often resurfaced as wealthy, heartless men. Although most people consider it a "small issue" it is killing us, we are drifting to extinction if this doesn't stop, and soon. Write about how you think life might be, if poachers were not a thing.

I am pretty sure that if you embellish upon this story and extent it enough. This will surely meet your story's character standard of 300-500 characters.

-Hope this helped

Sincerely,

xPain
