Why, in your view, does the poet use bruin' and not bear' in stanzas two and five?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer. I will give you an answer that you can use as an example to modify it and make your own.

Explanation:

 This question corresponds to the poem "My mother saw a dancing bear" by <em>Charles Causley.</em>

We must begin by clarifying that the word bruin is used to name bears, especially in texts addressed to children.

That could be the first reason. The author may have wanted his poem to be addressed to an audience of children. If we read the poem with attention we can see that the poem has a happy tone and that there are even children in it.

Another option could be that the author wanted to avoid repeating the word "bear" so he used another meaning.

17 February 2020.

Mr Babajide Sanwoolu

Executive Governor Lagos State,

Government house,

Ikeja,

Lagos State.

Your Excellency Sir.

PAYMENT OF STUDENTS SSCE REGISTRATION.

I hereby write to you in respect of your proposed intention to stop the payment of students SSCE examination in the state.

Firstly, I would like to use this opportunity to bring to your notice your excellency Sir, According to Fredrick Douglass, educated people are unfit to be a slave, A man of knowledge knows what he wants in life and how to go about getting it. It is practically impossible to enslave an educated man. His excellency sir, I’m sure you don’t want our young populations to be slave fit.

Secondly, The parents of some of these students you pay for their SSCE exams are not economically buoyant, which can result to the children dropping out of school. People often say readers are leaders, this is an opportunity to train the young population to take up the mantle of this state in the near future, uneducated people are unfit to paddle the affairs of the state in the future, I would like to plead with you to continue educating the potential leaders of tomorrow.

Thirdly, we have several social problems we are dealing with already in the state today, stopping this payment would have an effect in the state by spurring more difficult social problems in the state. Some potential scholars would be on the street creating nuisance because of their lack of adequate education.

Your excellency sir, I would like to plead with you not to stop the payment of the students SSCE exam. kindly be assured of our continuous corporation and support for the work and progress, peace and unity of our dear state and the country at large.

Yours Sincerely,

Hero Heroine

Anastaziya [24]

In the given sentence possessive pronoun would be used in this way:

All eggs in the basket are yours.
