Answer: The poem talks about how schoolchildren went through atomic bomb drills during the Cold War.

Explanation: At the beggining, when the character <u>describes his kindergarten school hallway</u>, he shows how the children were lead when there was an atomic bomb drill alert, specially when he mentions the position in which they had to stay ("[...] pressing our heads/between our knees, waiting.") Then, he <u>describes a classmate, Annette, that was probably killed during one of the drills when he says "Why Annette? There's nothing/to be upset about - "</u>, and reflects on <u>what is going to happen because of the war</u>. He realizes that <u>the most dangerous things aren't the bombs, but the war itself, if it keeps going on and on</u>, as he shows in "it is the days, the steady/pounding of days, like gentle rain,/ that will be our undoing."

In the given sentence, "The cow..." is the subject, "...jumped over..." is the action/verb while "...the moon" is the direct object.

The basic construction in identifying a direct object works like this: <em>Subject + Verb + Who or What.</em>

Whta is hemmingways style of writing
Paul [167]
Iceberg is the writing style of Hemingwat. Influenced by his journalistic career, Hemingway contended that by omitting superfluous and extraneous matter, writing becomes more interesting. He summarized his theory:

If a writer of prose knows enough of what he is writing about he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an ice-berg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water. A writer who omits things because he does not know them only makes hollow places in his writing.
