Answer:

Keats was in awe of the epic poem, and it opened up a whole new world for him, much like a new love interest.

John Keats chose a sonnet in response to Chapman's Homer because <em>it was his favorite poetic style at the time</em>.

Writing sonnets allowed him to express all the emotional power so natural to the romantic poets he derived inspiration from, e.g. Lord Byron and Leigh Hunt .

Between 1815 and 1816, around the time of publication of <em>"On First Looking into Chapman's Homer"</em> while still training to become an apothecary, Keats studied and experimented with the English sonnet to an extent his brothers feared <em>"he would destroy himself if impeded to write poetry"</em>.

I believe we should not be given any homework today.  Our class works hard and we do a lot of homework.  My parents might be fed up with the lack of time they get to spend with me. Do you really want an angry letter and a bad rating? My parents want me to enjoy life and be a kid.  Also, if we didn't have homework tonight, I could get together and reconnect with friends i have not seen for a long time.  Isn't friendship and joy more important than homework? So, as I hope you can see, homework is not a priority compared to simple joys of life like family and friendships. I hope you will not assign any homework tonight. :)

Answer:

The King of Great Britain has no real power over the colonies since they never consented to his authority. People have the right to form their own governments, and the best form of government is a democratically elected one.

Answer:

They used profanity to downplay the severity of what was happening with the war.

Why did Lieutenant Jimmy Cross feel guilty about Ted Lavender's death?

He felt guilty because he was distracted and thought about Martha. He thought he could have prevented it. Cross feels guilty about his death because as the platoon leader he is responsible for the lives of his men. He feels that in his obsession about Martha he neglected to see to Lavender's safety. As O'Brien writes about Cross: He felt shame.

Hope This helps!
