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.

In the boy in the striped pajamas What is Bruno self-conscience about?<br>​
LiRa [457]

Answer:

Internal and external conflicts always exist in literature. The internal conflict usually revolves around the concept of Man versus himself meaning that there is inner confusion and often a difficult choice to be made. It may be an emotional or ethical choice which is driven by feelings and perceptions. External conflicts are recognizable as the struggle of Man versus Man, Man versus Nature, Man versus fate or Destiny, Man versus society and Man versus machine. In The Boy in The Striped Pajamas, Bruno experiences inner and external conflict as he struggles to accept his father's decisions although he knows that his father holds the ultimate position of authority in the household which Bruno cannot question. Bruno decides to defy his parents wishes and go exploring along the fence (inner conflict). He makes a conscious decision to challenge that authority by going exploring even though he knows what is expected of him.  

Bruno suffers another inner conflict when he denies Shmuel after Kotler catches Shmuel eating the cake which Bruno has given him. This has painful consequences for both boys and Bruno's promise that he will never let his friend down again is put to the test and resolves the conflict when he joins Shmuel on his side of the fence, only to meet his death in the gas chamber.  

External conflicts include the only time Bruno stands up to his father in chapter 5 and is told that "those people...well they're not people at all." This conflict will be resolved when Bruno meets Shmuel for the first time and discovers that the boys share a birthday so are apparently not so different after all. This conflict could be both Man versus Man and Man versus society as Bruno reveals the similarities and not the differences between the Jews and the Nazis.  

In the conflict of Man versus Destiny, Bruno's mother desperately wants to free herself from any part in the Nazi solution. Her inner conflict as she tries to be loyal and to justify her part is outweighed by her external conflict as she fights the inevitable.
