The correct answer is 4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new.

In this Holy Poem 14, “Batter my Heart”, by John Donne, the poet is addressing God directly and he is implying that the usual way God enters into everybody’s life is not enough for the poet. The poet does not need gentle manners: to knock, to shine, to mend.

On the other hand, in order to let God get into his life, he needs a tough hand: to force, to brake, to blow and burn. This is likely because the poet might consider his soul and heart are too corrupt for such gentle ways.

The paradox, or apparently contradictory idea, here is to attach God such a violent behavior.

Answer:

4: The speaker implores God to use violence to break him so that he can be made new

Explanation:

Choice 1 is not correct because the speaker does not refer to three Gods. He refers to the Trinity, which is the unity of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus Christ) and the third person God the Holy Spirit.

Choice 2 is not correct either because the speaker is not weak and can stand on his own; however, he wants to be battered by God so that he could prove his strength and rise again and, thus, be "made new" by God.

Choice 3 is also wrong because God is not violent or cruel. It is the speaker himself who asks God to use violence: "Batter my heart..."

Thus, only the last choice can be correct.

Answer:

<h2>"Bermuda Triangle"</h2>

Bermuda triangle or Devil's triangle is situated in the North Atlantic Ocean. Some time it is also refers as Hurricane triangle as well. Bermuda triangle has a specific real phenomena which we discuss latter in the speech.  Many theories or article also purposed on the triangle, that it is fictional thing and it is not real. But it is not true... and I (the person who is giving the speech) will prove this point with some logical facts that I gathered on this topic. But firstly, have look on some general facts and figures on Bermuda triangle.

In the north Atlantic Ocean there is a region i.e. Bermuda Triangle, in which number of ships and aircraft vanished due to some mysterious phenomena. But this point of view of calling it is a mystery, rejected by reputable and more authentic sources and prove that there are many real facts underlying in this phenomena which clarify that it is real.

<h2>Valid reasons behind Bermuda triangle: </h2>
  • Compass changes: Compass issues have the main importance in Bermuda triangle phenomena. Many theories purposed that this region has many magnetic abnormalities.The world is unaware of the fact that something is really abnormal about the compass variation in such a large area formed in shape of triangle called Bermuda triangle.
  • Gulf Stream: is a large surface current flows in the Gulf of Mexico towards Florida entering onto North Atlantic. Fact is, it is a river inside an ocean with rough waves that carries away various object along them. It was reported that many aircraft which try water landing or ships with technical problems, carried away by those currents from their actual positions.
  • Harsh weather: Bermuda triangle contains harsh weather conditions, resulting in hurricanes, which were also responsible for the sinking of Francisco de Bobadilla's a Spanish navy ship. Which was the first ever reported case of Bermuda triangle in 1502. Due to these hurricanes many incident took place in the past.
  • Methane hydrates: Many facts given, like the existence of methane fields in the region on a large scale. Methane is a form of natural gas. Mud volcanoes made by methane surrounded by dense bubbly water are the main causes for the sinking of ships in that region. when the ships comes across that kind of specific region they sink very quickly.
  • Human mistake: Many disasters reported in the past only because of human rigidness, by floating their ships intentionally in to harsh weathers i.e. hurricanes.
