Identify the tone of the Irish poem below: What is this love, - this love that makes My heart's warm pulses quiver? They say it

is the power that wakes The hyacinth 'mid hazel brakes, The lilies by the river, And that same thing that bids the dove Sit in the pine-tree high above, Its sweetheart wooing; But oh! alas! wate'er it be, It comes for my undoing! The lily of the river side By its sweet mate reposes Through autumn moons and winter-tide, To wake in love and beauty's pride When comes the time of roses; And in the springing of the year The doves' sweet voices you will hear Their vows renewing; But oh! alas! whate'er love be, And howsoe'er it comes to me, It comes for my undoing! a. lighthearted c. concern b. serious d. grief Please select the best answer from the choices provided A B C D

Answer:

A. Lighthearted

Explanation:

Words such as doves, lilies and sweetheart interpret the passages tone as lighthearted. Concern, serious, and grief have nothing to do with this happy passage.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

This poem is very lighthearted and dreamy, quite the opposite of concern, seriousness, or grief. The poet's choice of words like "oh!" and "warm pulses" give off the tone of this poem.

Dentify a theme in "through the tunnel" and explain how the setting of the story contributes to that theme
earnstyle [38]
<span>In "Through the Tunnel," the negative connotations and dangerous imagery associated with the "wild bay" help to convey the theme that growing up can be a painful and scary process.  Jerry longs to grow up and to fit in with the "older boys -- men to Jerry" who swim and dive at the wild bay rather than remain on the "safe beach" with his mother, a beach later described as "a place for children."  The way to the wild bay is marked with "rough, sharp rock" and the water shows "stains of purple and darker blue."  The rocks sound as if they could do a great deal of damage to the body, and the stains are described like a bruise.  It sounds painful.  Then, "rocks lay like discoloured monsters under the surface" of the water and "irregular cold currents from the deep shocked [Jerry's] limbs."  This place sounds frightening and alarming and unpredictable.  Given that this is the location associated with maturity, with the time after childhood, we can understand that the process of growing up and becoming a man is a time that is fraught with dangers and fear, because Jerry endures both in the "wild bay."</span>
