English

Vlada [557]3 years ago

Answer:

This gives the reader a sense of the burden that the men are bearing in carrying these things. Much attention is given to the weight and pressure the soldiers feel from what they're carrying and from external forces, such as nature.

Explanation:

"They carried the sky. The whole atmosphere...they carried gravity." But the greatest weight the men feel comes from nothing they can physically carry, but rather their emotions: "Grief, terror, love, longing these were intangibles, but the intangibles had their own mass and specific gravity, they had tangible weight.

Poem about source of strength​
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Could it be

I’ve never seen

Beauty in me

Took time to reflect

On all that I am

I haven’t shared everything I can

On this soul-searching road

The winds and turns

Each corner holds secrets

Each road taken holds challenges untold

Which road you choose is how life unfolds

Some are rougher, Sometimes it’s smooth sailing

All the time I’ve invested in this world

I’ve come to realise

Each moment is just a piece strung together

In this story called life

I have no wisdom in my words

All I know is I’ve survived

Yeah, still alive.

 

Some would say I feel too much

Some would say, I’m too myself

Mistakes I owned them

Haters I outgrow them

There’s a whole lot in me

Only a few people see

A light that shines slightly through the cracks

I’m not all bad

And all this strength gathered

Has taken me to heights

Others couldn’t imagine

Like a lighter, a little spark

Can ignite a torch

Revealing truths in dark corners

It’s all these things

That makes me a lyrical philosopher

Through these lines I conquer

Camp Wanna, Gateaway

2489, W. Lake Road

Little Town, New Jersey, 75963

Dear Mom,

I love camp. It is so much fun! We play games, go swimming at the lake, hike and do lots of

crafts. I like my cabin mates, but I do not like the girls. The food is good. The cook, an old man is a professional! Gotta go, it’s time for crafts. Oh, please send more

underwear.

Love, Johnny
