Democracy in America doesn't work on popular vote, rather, it works on the electoral college. This means that in states, whichever president was voted more would count as 1 vote towards that president. This means that technically, the US only has 52 votes in total. This is definetely not a fair result. We should be able to have popular vote, because, well, it's a democracy! We should be working on the interests of the majority, not the minority. However, because we have many big states, such as California, that are majorly liberal, small states won't have much say in what happens in the USA.

Identify any example of repetition in the poem The Cremation of Sam McGee
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

Now Sam McGee was from Tennessee, where the cotton blooms and blows.

Why he left his home in the South to roam ‘round the Pole, God only knows.

He was always cold, but the land of gold seemed to hold him like a spell;

Though he’d often say in his homely way that “he’d sooner live in hell.”

On a Christmas Day we were mushing our way over the Dawson trail.

Talk of your cold! through the parka’s fold it stabbed like a driven nail.

If our eyes we’d close, then the lashes froze till sometimes we couldn’t see;

It wasn’t much fun, but the only one to whimper was Sam McGee.

And that very night, as we lay packed tight in our robes beneath the snow,

And the dogs were fed, and the stars o’erhead were dancing heel and toe,

He turned to me, and “Cap,” says he, “I’ll cash in this trip, I guess;

And if I do, I’m asking that you won’t refuse my last request.”
