English

Virty [35]3 years ago

The poem is about personally inflicted pain due to loss of love (like a breakup) "is there a balm in Gilead?" is actually a Bible reference, Gilead is a part of modern day Jordan, known for it's healing ointment. The narrator is really asking if there is any healing.  The narrator continually asks dark questions of the raven fully knowing that the answer is always, "nevermore" therefore inflicting a sort of mental torture. Some people cut themselves, this guy asks birds what they think.

6. What might be the author's purpose for writing in first-person point of view?
Vikentia [17]

Answer:

I believe your answer would be so the character can directly share his or her thoughts with the reader.

Explanation:

A is the only option that makes sense because choice B would be Third-Person omniscient, while C would most likely be either Third-Person omniscient or limited. Either way, First-Person shares the narrator's point of view, so the reader cannot know more than the character does.

Answer:

B. Optional

Explanation:

A comma can be defined as a punctuation mark that is typically used for indicating a break in elements of a series or list in a sentence. Also, it's used to indicate the shortest pause in a sentence.

In the English language, conjunction can be defined as an English word that is typically used for connecting two or more clauses, words, phrases, or sentences. Some examples of conjunction are but, and, although, because, or, yet, etc.

When there are three or more items (elements) in a series, the final comma before the conjunction (and, or, nor) is optional.
