<u>Sample Response:</u> Millay uses words with strongly negative connotations in this bitter poem about humanity’s inhumanity. The first word of the poem is “detestable,” and the powerful negative imagery continues throughout the poem. She uses the word “breed” which generally applies to animals, not humans, reinforcing our bestiality. A few of the other negative word choices include “encroach,” “bombing,” “bewildered,” and “distracted.” Perhaps the strongest imagery is found in the lines, “Convert again into putrescent matter drawing flies/The hopeful bodies of the young.” She ends with the name of our species, Homo sapiens, but splits the term ironically pointing out that we are called sapiens while her poem makes the point of showing that while we may be human (Homo), we are not wise (sapiens)at all.

By the words "detestable" and "die", we can tell that the mood of this poem is dark and angry. The author obviously is not proud of what humans have done. Also, the word "encroach" makes the mood sad. The author points out what terrible things humans are and how rude we are (which is quite true, based on what happened on January 20th).

Defend or critique the following statement: “People who are unable to put aside their own interests should not be on teams.”
yawa3891 [41]

Defend. I people cannot set aside their own agenda for the team, and put forth a team effort they do not belong on the team. A team requires all members to co-operate in a manner that is wholly for the team's betterment, and success.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
lutik1710 [3]

Answer:

ironic

Explanation:

This answer can best be characterized as ironic. Irony is a rhetorical device in which what appears, on the surface, to be the case is very different from what is actually the case. In this example, the Sirian reacts very angrily to the notion of wars, and he seems very upset with the violence that is involved in human wars. The logical assumption for us to make is that he is a pacifist and hates violence. However, he reacts by saying he wants to crush a whole anthill of assassins. This shows that his reaction is in fact as violent as that of humans, which is ironic.
