Answer: The speaker envisions the American identity as unifed yet diverse. The phrase “varied carols” describes an America that shares a common vision but also has different modes for achieving that goal. Americans are singing together, but each person is singing his or her own “varied carol” of the American song.

Considering the first line of the poem <em>"I Hear America Singing"</em>: I hear America singing, the varied carols I hear, and also taking in consideration the <em>entire poem's context</em>, it can be understood that the <em>speaker's view of the American identity is one of an identity composed by many voices singing many different songs</em>. That, of course, as a <em>metaphor</em> for <em>different people living different realities that contribute to forming a nation's identity</em>. The speaker <em>lists</em>, in the poem, various professions and activities being held by these people:

<em>"The carpenter singing his as he measures his plank or beam, </em>

<em>The mason singing his as he makes ready for work (...)</em>

<em>The boatman singing what belongs to him in his boat (...)"</em>

And so he continues. <em>"Each singing what belongs to him or her and to none else"</em>, he says, conveying that this<em> identity would be composed by many different realities, points of view, and stories</em>, because every single one of these people <em>can only "sing" or express from their points of view</em>. Thus, the <em>American nation's identity is a mixture of various realities</em>, being each one of them important to be heard. Together, they create a whole based on variety.

.How does the excerpt satirize the Church?
irina1246 [14]

<u>Answer</u>:

The excerpt satirize the Church (A) by exaggerating the greedy nature of the clergy

<u>Explanation</u>:

In “The Canterbury Tales” by “Chaucer”, the author depicts that all the clergy men, spiritual leaders in a church, are all corrupt people. He creates a satire on many characters from various professions and people from different classes.

Specifically, in a church, he criticizes that even forgiveness is available for purchase. Also, in church clergy men deceive people by asking them to buy the holy artifacts. This is cheating and is even morally wrong. Thus, Chaucer satirize the church by exaggerating the greedy nature of the clergy men.

Hello, please search for the poem, online bullying by Bill Kochman, and state 3 literary devices found in the literature writing
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Some literary devices here are similes and metaphors. I'm sorry for only providing 2, if I can spot a third I will let you know. An example of a simile in the poem is "When harsh words cut like a knife". Comparison using terms such as "like" is a clear demonstration of a simile. An example of a metaphor in the text is "Hiding in the Internet's shadows". Notice how hiding in the shadows of the internet is not possible in a literal sense, but lacks the usage of terminology like "like" or "such as" "as a" that a simile would provide. Good luck!
