Before we answer this question, let’s make sure we understand the definition of each pair.


Quatrain - A stanza with four lines. It usually has a rhyme that is the same in the last letter of every line. Here’s an example of a quatrain from "Stopping by Woods On a Snowy Evening" By Robert Frost.


<em>"He gives his harness bells a shake</em>

<em> </em>

<em>To ask if there’s some mistake.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>The only other sound’s the sweep</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Of easy wind and downy flake."</em>


Couplet - A pair of two lines in a stanza with the same end rhyme. Here’s an example of a couplet from "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Suess.


<em>"I do not like green eggs and ham</em>

<em> </em>

<em>I do not like them </em><em>Sam</em><em> I am."</em>


Octave - A stanza with eight lines in it. Here’s an example of an octave from "What is life?" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge.


<em>"Resembles Life what once was held of Light,</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Too ample in itself for human sight?</em>

<em> </em>

<em>An absolute Self, an element ungrounded</em>

<em> </em>

<em>All, that we see, all </em><em>colours</em><em> of all shade</em>

<em> </em>

<em>By encroach of darkness made?</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Is very life by consciousness unbounded?</em>

<em> </em>

<em>And all the thoughts, pains, joys of mortal breath,</em>

<em> </em>

<em>A war-embrace of wrestling Life and Death?"</em>


Sestet - Usually the last six lines of a sonnet. Here’s an example of a sestet from "When I Have Fears that I May Cease to Be" by John Keats


<em>"And when I feel, fair creature of an hour!</em>

<em> </em>

<em>That I shall never look upon thee more,</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Never have relish in the faery power</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Of unreflecting love! — then on the shore</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Of the wide </em><em>world</em><em> I stand </em><em>alone,</em><em> and think</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Till Love and Fame to nothingness do sink."</em>


Now that we all understand the definitions and have read a few examples, let’s match each tile to its pair.


The tile from <em>"Annabel Lee" by Edgar Allan Poe </em> should be paired with sestet.


The tile from <em>"In Memoriam" by Alfred Lord Tennyson </em> should be paired with quatrain.


The tile from <em>"Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost </em> should be paired with octave.


The tile from <em>"Hero and Leander" by Christopher </em><em>Marlowe</em>  should be paired with couplet.

Write a letter to your friend talling him or her about what you intend to do it your plan after leaving school
Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Letter to a friend about future plans after school.

Explanation:

24 Ashgrove Hills

New York

My dear Sammy,

I know we haven't really talked about what we plan to do after we finish school. And I know it's time to get to this point where we talk about it so that we may have an idea of what we both like.

But like you said, we're still so young to even think about what is for the future. But at the same time, we must also plan ahead so that we don't make mistakes like most youngsters. School is the end of our childhood and eventually, we may go to universities and then on to wider options.

But as of now, as far as I am concerned, I think I will continue with my studies and try to follow in my father's footsteps and try to get my doctorate degrees, if possible, and be a lecturer. I have always been fascinated with teaching and the idea of helping others shape their future and help in the process. So, for me, I think I will go to university and then see where that goes. That's the plan for now. Please let me know what your plan is.

Keep in touch and I will keep you updated. Take good care of yourself.

Love,

Sally.
