The lines of the poem mentioned in the question above are:

<em>"What else could the boy have done? Wasn’t </em>

<em>flight both an escape and a great uplifting? </em>

<em>And so he flew. But how could he appreciate </em>

<em>his freedom without knowing the exact point </em>

<em> </em>

<em>where freedom stopped? So he flew upward </em>

<em>and the sun dissolved the wax and he fell. </em>

<em>But at last in his anticipated plummeting </em>

<em>he grasped the confines of what had been"</em>

Answer:

Each stanza has four lines. The lines don't rhyme.

Between lines 1-8, it is common that the end punctuation does not appear at the end of each line, but on the next line this causes an effect of interrupted thinking, which matches the meaning of the poem, since it speaks of an interrupted freedom .

Explanation:

As you may already know, a poem is composed of verses and stanzas. Each stanza is composed of a set of verses and each stanza of the poem is separated from another stanza through a space, which allows you to perceive a group of grouped verses. Each verse represents a line, for this reason, it is possible to state that in relation to the stanzas shown above, each of them has four lines.

The rhyme is an element that provides a certain musicality in the stanzas. This is because it allows the repetition of vowels (usually in the last syllable) of the last words at the end of each line. This allows these syllables to be repeated during the stanza, generating musicality. As you can see in the verses above, the lines do not rhyme.

The end punctuation is the punctuation that an author places at the end of a sentence, that is, this punctuation appears when the sentence has already passed a message and can be completed. Generally, these scores appear at the end of each line, but as you can see in the lines above, many of them do not end with the end score that only appears in the middle of the next line. This provides an interruption in the reading of the poem in the middle of a sentence and directly matches the meaning of the poem. That's because, the poem talks about the interruption of a desire, since Icaru has his desire for freedom interrupted with his fall.

(PLEASE HELP I BEG YOU!!!!!!) "There will come soft rains" what is the importance of paragraphs 10, 11, and 12?
MAVERICK [17]

Ten o’clock. The sun came out from behind the rain. The house

stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes. This was the one house left

standing. At night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which

could be seen for miles.

Ten-fifteen. The garden sprinklers whirled up in golden founts,

filling the soft morning air with scatterings of brightness. The water

pelted windowpanes, running down the charred west side where the

house had been burned evenly free of its white paint. The entire west

face of the house was black, save for five places. Here the silhouette1

in paint of a man mowing a lawn. Here, as in a photograph, a woman

bent to pick flowers. Still farther over, their images burned on wood

in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air; higher up,

the image of a thrown ball, and opposite him a girl, hand raised to

catch a ball which never came down.

The five spots of paint—the man, the woman, the children, the

ball—remained. The rest was a thin charcoaled layer.

The gentle sprinkler rain filled the garden with falling li

Answer -

The Importance of pargraphs 10, 11, and 12 is that much like how our own alarms ring in a gentle voice to awake us at the start of our day; only the lonely house’s voice echoed across the halls with each passing hour. Upon reaching the first few paragraphs, the narrator reveals the house to have a built in A.I that is able to control every square inch of the house based on the schedule. (Bradbury page 1) But after the first few schedules, there still wasn’t any response from anyone within the house. At eight-thirty the eggs were shriveled and the toast was like stone. (Bradbury page 1 paragraph 11). It has already been over an hour since the first alarm, the warm fresh breakfast still remained untouched. This house was empty, yet despite it being empty, the house is still running it’s daily schedule as it is meant to do.
