Though the Empire State Building is famous for its height, it is also known for something else—its Tower Lights. The building's

top 14 floors are actually a 200-foot tower, complete with lights capable of producing an array of colors. Beginning with a single searchlight beacon in November 1932, which announced that Franklin Roosevelt had become president, the lights have changed much over the years. Now, several hundred fluorescent tubes make much more possible. With the flip of a switch, the tower's white lights can be changed to honor special people and events. For example, in 1976, the Tower Lights were changed to red, white, and blue; this was to honor the country's bicentennial. When the Yankees won the 1977 World Series, blue and white lights flashed. On September 24, 2009, red lights were used to mark the 70th anniversary of The Wizard of Oz. The lights glowed green on Earth Day 2010. Over the years, the Empire State Building has had countless visitors. Prince Charles, the King of Siam, schoolchildren, tourists, and many others have come to New York City to admire it. However, for many people, the simple act of changing the lights inspires just as much awe as the building's soaring height and stunning views. Notes 1. The Empire State Building is known for its height. 2. The colors of the Tower Lights can be changed. 3. In 1976, the Tower Lights were red, white, and blue. 4. Prince Charles has visited the Empire State Building. Which of the following subjects is the main topic of this passage? A. the lighting displays of the Empire State Building B. the soaring height of the Empire State Building C. Roosevelt's connection to the Empire State Building D. people who have visited the Empire State Building

Why, in your view, does the poet use bruin' and not bear' in stanzas two and five?
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

This question requires a personal answer. I will give you an answer that you can use as an example to modify it and make your own.

Explanation:

 This question corresponds to the poem "My mother saw a dancing bear" by <em>Charles Causley.</em>

We must begin by clarifying that the word bruin is used to name bears, especially in texts addressed to children.

That could be the first reason. The author may have wanted his poem to be addressed to an audience of children. If we read the poem with attention we can see that the poem has a happy tone and that there are even children in it.

Another option could be that the author wanted to avoid repeating the word "bear" so he used another meaning.

Which poetic device is used in the excerpt from Lowell's "For the Union Dead"?
hoa [83]
<span>The old South Boston Aquarium stands
in a Sahara of snow now. Its broken windows are boarded.
The bronze weathervane cod has lost half its scales.
The airy tanks are dry.Once my nose crawled like a snail on the glass;
my hand tingled
to burst the bubbles,
drifting from the noses of the cowed, compliant fish.
The first two verses are the perfect poetic evidence of Robert Lowell's poem. He rhythmically described the loss of the childhood memories in the beginning and continued establishing the development of the character further in the poetry.</span>
