In “I<span> Hear America Singing,” the speaker describes various "carols" that arise from different figures in the American working class as people go about their work. He hears the </span>mechanics<span>, the </span>carpenter<span>, the </span>mason<span>, and the </span>boatman<span> singing. The </span>deckhand<span>, </span>shoemaker<span>, </span>hatter<span>, </span>wood-cutter<span>, and </span>ploughboy<span>sing their own songs, as well. The speaker celebrates each individual song, which provides the connection between the worker and his/her task: for example, "the deckhand [sings] on the steamboat deck" and "the shoemaker [sings] as he sits on his bench." The speaker mentions the working women, as well. The </span>mother<span> and the young wife sing, as does the </span>girl doing her sewing and washing. Each person in the poem has an individual carol, and together, they create the sound of "America Singing." says at http://www.gradesaver.com/walt-whitman-poems/study-guide/summary-i-hear-america-singing

Answer:

Explanation:

1.'Praising the productivity of the individuals and being content with one's chosen occupation in life' is the dominating theme of the poem as Whitman praises the individual's work and displays joy in being productive.

2. 'All races of people are beautiful and should be considered a part of America' as Whitman felt that they all together constitute America and each plays their own part and admire their uniqueness and diversity.

3. There is no real difference in theme because Hughes' version "I, too" is inspired by Whitman's "I hear America singing". Both poems celebrate the freedom and uniqueness of individuals. Both the poems are an attempt to expel racism from America and celebrate togetherness and individuality.

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”
pashok25 [27]

Read the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.” Mr. White dropped his wife's hand, and rising to his feet, gazed with a look of horror at his visitor. His dry lips shaped the words, "How much?" "Two hundred pounds," was the answer. Unconscious of his wife's shriek, the old man smiled faintly, put out his hands like a sightless man, and dropped, a senseless heap, to the floor.

Which word helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt?

gazed

shaped

faintly

shriek

Answer:

Shriek

Explanation:

According to the excerpt from “The Monkey's Paw.”, the story of Mr White and his encounter with a seller when he was with his wife is told. Mr. White is said to have dropped his wife's hand and with a horrified look asked for the price and when he was told it was two hundred dollars, his wife shrieked and he became unconscious.

The word that helps reveal the mood of horror in the excerpt is the word "shriek" because it helps show the mood of horror and shock the couple faced.
