Answer:

The poem is D) a ‘free verse’ poem.

Explanation:

Langston Hughes wrote this poem in 1921 following no metrical scheme or rhyme pattern. So, lines in every stanza vary in the number of syllables and there are no rhyming pairs to be seen.

The poem is characterized by repetition: the word ‘rivers’ and the names of world known rivers such as the Euphrates, the Congo, the Nile and the Mississipi can be read throughout the poem. There’s also repetition of the phrases such as ‘I’ve known’.

There are also continues similes like 'my soul has grown deep like the river' and 'rivers as ancient as the world'.

The different literary figures and the free verse genre allow the author to express the powerfulness and greatness of black history since older times.

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer:

Events are often told in a way that makes the narrator seem to have been a part of the story. The tone is generally good-natured and light harted.  The line between legends and tall tales is distinguished[by whom?] primarily by age; many legends exaggerate the exploits of their heroes, but in tall tales the exaggeration looms large, to the extent of dominating the story.

Your English teacher has asked you to write a story. Your story must begin with this sentence: (Nobody knew where they were) 150
Nastasia [14]

Answer:

Nobody knew where they were. Nobody had an idea as to when they disappeared. Everyone was worried that they had been kidnapped by someone evil. Leo, Carlos, and Zealand have been reported missing since las saturday but nobody knows for sure when they disappeared. The police made search parties to help find them. Many suspected that they went too deep into the forest and got lost. A woman, in her late 70's told the policemen that anyone who goes too deep in the forest at night, never gets found. The policemen didn't listen to her, because everyone knew her as "Crazy Maylie". Something they didnt know that I knew was that for once, she was right. the stories have it that anyone who dares roam too deep into the lakewood forest after 12am, never make it out. I being who I am, decided to test the theory. I packed 3 puddings, vanilla flavored. I packed a sandwich, a galon of water and a whistle, in case I was lost. At 1:26 in the morning, I started to head into the Lakewood forest. I walked, in complete darkness. Only the moon provided a bit of light. My phone lost signal and my flashlight wouldnt turn on after I reached a certain depth of the forest. My mom must have found out by now that im missing. But I didn't care. I wanted to be the hero and save my friends.
