This poem contains many themes. One such theme would be isolation. He is on his own and out of reach, both metophysically and physically. He does not have anyone there to throw him a life vest when things get tough. Even worse is the fact that death makes him lose all hope of ever reconnecting with someone, instead he is left alone, in isolation for the rest of his life.

Read the following student perspective and then choose your answer.
Fudgin [204]

A: The correct answer would be based on the the student challenging the author’s claim.

The reason why is that the student refers to what the author claims and concludes, but then the student gives their perspective by writing “he fails to consider…”

The phrase “he fails to consider…” suggests that the student is challenging the author by not agreeing with the claims and conclusion.

feel at home ! Come again they Jay, and when I come again and feel at home once twice there will be no three for then I find doo
Andrej [43]

Answer:

In the ancient and modern worlds, the poet (who is also the speaker) communicates to his kid about human behavior in the past and today. In "feel at home" his meaning to this:  once, twice,  there will be no thrice  for then I find doors shut on me. He recalls a period when people shared true affection. They would laugh heartily and convey genuine emotions to one another. However, in today's fast-paced society, people regularly exchange frigid handshakes. They exchange greetings with a smile or laughter that reaches their eyes but does not reach their hearts. They are simply being courteous when they say 'come again' to a guest. According to the poet, people nowadays are frequently more interested in meeting those who are affluent, powerful, successful, or renowned than in meeting those who lack income or position.

A) to present their contrasting images and personalities

B)to present the reason why Spunk desires revenge

C) to convey each man’s love for the same woman

D) to convey each man’s dislike for the other

The correct answer is option A) to present their contrasting images and personalities .

This contrast of personalities is presented in the introduction of the story, therefore we can say that the correct answer is option A.

How does Twain expand Jerry's definition of corn-pone opinions? What is the effect of numbering the two items in which he begins
Kryger [21]

Answer:

He breaks them apart and applies his special description.

<em>The purpose of numerating the two things was to separate the concept of man adhering to the views of most societies on facts and the idea that an individual should come up with his own interpretation of such evidence. </em>
