Answer:
2) We decided to watch a horror movie, but Janice was not happy with our choice.
Explanation:
'But' is used as a conjunction when the second sentence is different from the first one, or seems surprising after the first one.
So in this case, using 'but' makes more sense than using 'and'.
On one hand, we have the narrator of Death Be Not Proud who is brave when faced with Death. He is trying to diminish its influence by showing that he is not afraid because it can't do much to him - once he dies, he will transcend life and continue existing somewhere else, and then Death won't have any power over him - <em>"</em><span><span><em>One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally, And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die."</em>
</span>On the other hand, we have Ivan Ilyich from The Death of Ivan Ilyich. Here, we have quite the opposite situation. We can see that Ivan is terribly afraid of dying and that he is trying to deny the fact that death is near. He doesn't want to die, he isn't ready for that, and he is scared to death. He is not sure if there is anything beyond death, whereas the first speaker is quite certain death is not the end. </span><span><em>"When I am not, what will there be? There will be nothing. Then where shall I be when I am no more? Can this be dying? No, I don't want to!"</em></span>
<span>Dramatic Narrative: Ballads usually tell a
story, focusing on one dramatic event, and the story is usually told in
plain, everyday language. Casey definitely has these requirements
covered. The poem has a cast of characters and a story with a clear
beginning, middle, and end. And "Casey…" doesn't send you running for
the dictionary every other line.</span><span>Song: Ballads were traditionally stories meant to be sung. The poem's epigraph, "Sung in the Year 1888 [our emphasis]," along with the poem's strong meter and rhyme, indicate a song-i-ness that fulfills this requirement quite nicely.</span>Meter-Line-Stanza: Ballads are traditionally in iambic lines. Iambs
are those little, two-syllable units that follow an unstressed-stressed
syllable patten. They make that daDUM sound that seems to pop up so
often in poetry. You can really hear those iambs right from the poem's
very first line:
The
outlook
wasn't
brilliant
for the
Mudville
nine that
day<span>
.</span>
Did you hear that daDUM daDUM daDUM pattern? That, is the rhythm of the iambs—seven in all in this line.
In
addition to those iambs, ballad lines follow a strict rhyme scheme and
are grouped into four-line stanzas called quatrains. In "Casey at the
Bat," the quatrains follow an AABB rhyme scheme, where each letter
represents that line's end rhyme. Take a look at the end words from
stanza one to see it in action:
day A
play A
same B
game B

[Poem structure - stanzas. In prose, ideas are usually grouped together in paragraphs. In poems, lines are often grouped together into what are called stanzas. Like paragraphs, stanzas are often used to organize ideas.</span>]
