Answer:

The word "Goddess" refers to freedom, which is part of the main theme of this poem.

Explanation:

In this poem by Phillis Wheatley, the fight for freedom led by General Washington can be seen as the main theme.

The author of the poem uses the word Goddess to emphasize this meaning, because that is what freedom is: a great "Goddess", the one who frees us and lets us live in peace.

Let's look at the following quote from the poem:

Proceed, great chief, with virtue on thy side, 

Thy ev'ry action let the Goddess guide. 

A crown, a mansion, and a throne that shine, 

With gold unfading, WASHINGTON! Be thine.

Express your opinion in 4 sentences Do you think you learn more from success or from failure

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

in my opinion, failure helps you learn more than success. Success gives you limits, like you only know what to do, but you dont know what not to do. Failure teaches you what not to do for present and future mistakes. Say like if you lost a spelling bee, you would learn to study more and not waist time playing. That failure taught you what not to do, and what to do. Also, another example, if a kid is going down a slide upside down, they would fall off the slide and hit their heads on the ground, they would learn not to do that anymore and to sit up correctly.
