The purpose of the poetry is showing that the person doesent care what the other person says about he/she
Because he enjoyed writing about romance
The answer happens to obviously be letter C and here is why, a connotation is a choice in words in a form of literature that can give a stronger feeling to the sentence. For example instead of saying scary i could say horifying and that would be a stronger, negative connotation of fear, based on the fact that c is the only negative one, "Crowded and sticky."
The rhyme scheme of this poem is ABCB.
A: wind. B: northeast. C: brine. B: yeast.
Only the second and the last line rhyme.
I believe your answer is "No longer tortured by the pangs or hunger" Hope this helps!! :D
