Grass by Carl Sandburg

English

1. The Allusions in this poem are all famous historical battle sites. Austerlitz and Waterloo are two famous sites of battles led by Napoleon in the 1800s. Gettysburg is a famous site where there was a pivotal battle during the Civil War. Ypres and Verdun are both places where battles were held during World War I. All of these battle sites mark areas and moments of significant bloodshed, which relates to the overall idea of the poem that even the most gruesome history can be brushed over, and can produce growth. The grass in the poem wishes to cover the death and the darkness left behind by tragedies such as these. 

2. Grass is personified in this poem. It continuously speaks throughout the poem (a human quality), and says "Let me work". Doing work is seen as a predominantly human activity, which also lends to the personification of the grass. 

3. This is mostly an opinion question, but it could either be argued that either:

- Yes, this is contradictory, because there are all of these tokens that cover over the land where this tragic event took place, turning it into a tourist site, rather than a solemn gravesite

or

- No, because these memorial items <em>represent</em> the loss that happened at this site, and pay homage to it, so that the battle and lives lost are <em>not </em>forgotten.

What are the benefits of diversifying a retirement account with gold and bitcoin?
belka [17]

There are many benefits that come with diversifying a retirement account with gold or Bitcoins (or other cryptocurrencies).

Gold is an extremely reliable and solid way to store money, since it's a way to safeguard possessions by protecting one's buying power/conditions (gold is not affected by devaluation the way regular currencies are).

Bitcoins and other cryptos may also seem as an alternative to regular retirement fund options or even gold, but it ain't (at least for now). Even though cryptocurrencies are still very unstable (monetarily speaking), they are (or were according to some experts) a way to store and easily transfer money anywhere. They are very promising in terms or transfers, safety measures (crypto-exchanges and users can get hacked, but the cryptos themselves operate in a relatively safe way), and even though it may be a way to earn some extra money (through trading/speculation), they are not comparable to gold when it comes to monetary safety (stability); that's why they might be a good investment option but the investor must be extra careful about putting a large portion of their retirement fund into them.

In other words, Gold is mainly reliable and stable (a way to protect you buying power and worry less about inflation/devaluation), and Bitcoins are an opportunity to make more money and a reliable and cheap way to transfer money anywhere
