<u>Answer:</u>

There passed, as a shroud  

A fleecy cloud,  

And I turned away to thee, - The night is changeable

I gazed awhile.  

On her cold smile;  

Too cold—too cold for me— - Moonlight can be uninviting

And dearer thy beam shall be;  

For joy to my heart  

Is the proud part

Thou bearest in Heaven at night, - Stars evoke wonder

<u>Explanation:</u>

In this poem, <u>"Evening Star" by Edgar Allen Poe</u>, a fleecy cloud passing by the moon at night changes the view of the speaker. His gaze falters and he turns away from the "cold smile" of the moon to look at the evening star. This could represent how the night is changeable in its views, how things are constantly moving and changing- every slight passing of a cloud, variation in the moonlight, appearance of the stars, their positions, etc. It could also represent how the changing night changed the speaker's gaze.

The speaker doesn't connect to moon well and calls her smile "cold", "too cold," and despite it being brighter than the stars, calls her moonlight "pale" and "lowly." He describes the moon as residing among her "slaves"- the planets, and presents the moon in an image of coldness and arrogance. Hence, moonlight, for him, is uninviting.

The speaker's heart is filled with joy when he looks at the evening star. He says that the beam of the star is "dearer" to him even if it is so far away. His affection towards it is all the more because of the distance, despite which its light reaches him, and the significant part the star has in the night sky or the "Heaven," according to him. He admires and prefers its "distant fire." All this adds to the sense of how the stars evoke wonder by the virtue of their light, distance, position and personal significance to the speaker.

Who should be held accountable for the opioid crises the doctors who prescribe them or the drug companies who make them
vladimir2022 [97]
This is a very complex question. Who’s fault it? Essentially, it would be the companies since they are making them for profit. But, don’t they just make them? Or would it be the doctors who prescribe them knowing that it can be addiictive? But, aren’t they prescribing them to help? Both and none of them should be held accountable.

Why both of them should be held accountable: Yes, these companies are the ones who make them in the first place. But, although this is true, they make them for medical professionals. They do make money but not all of them have the goal to make people addiictted to them. They are the ones who make them.

Doctors are the ones who prescribe the medication. Although some of them goes against the doctor oath and sell them to groups and by other means. But most doctors prescribe them to help people. Sometimes doctors prescribe to high doses of these medications, but that’s only some doctors. Some doctors only prescribe them in extreme cases. Blaming all doctors would be very, very wrong.

Why it’s neither their faults: Some people who gets prescribed these medications might sell, distribute, or use them beyond the recommendation. Blaming doctors or the medication companies would be underestimating that individuals are to blame too. Plus, in some cases, people might even fake conditions like anxiety, depression and pain to get prescribed the medication.

End note: In reality, it’s both and neither their faults. Why? Because not all companies and doctors do any wrong. There are people who really need these medications to even be able to function through the day, and there’s some who misuse it. The fact is that these medications are needed, but some people misuse them them.

What is the importance of lead and what does it mean to write like a journalist
mestny [16]
Hey there! I've been taking journalism class so I hope this helps. A lead sets up the story and informs the reader of everything that they need to know. Since a reader only cares about the most important of details, it is essential to let the reader know the 5W's without overdoing it to the point that conciseness is compromised.
