We take tests every day.
Today we are doing a project.
After reading the line from the first stanza of "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman, we can answer in the following manner:
Part A:
A. War
Part B:
A. It introduces a celebratory tone.
<h3>What is the poem about?</h3>
- The poem "O Captain! My Captain" is an elegy, which means it is a sad poem expressing admiration for someone who has passed away. In this case, that person is Abraham Lincoln.
<h3 /><h3>What does "fearful trip" mean?</h3>
- The whole poem is an extended metaphor about the civil war in the United States. When the speaker talks about a fearful trip being done, he means that the war is finally over.
<h3>What does that figurative language express?</h3>
- By talking about the fearful trip being done, the speaker introduces a celebratory tone. That means he is happy that the war has ended and that the Union has won.
- It is important to note, however, that this celebratory tone is replaced by a mournful one in the second half of the poem. The speaker is happy the war is over, but sad that Lincoln is not alive to see the victory.
With the information above in mind, we can choose letter A for part A, and also letter A for part B.
