Answer:

D. The way sentences extend from one stanza into the next pull the reader along.

Explanation:

The myth of "Icarus" and his flight to the sun bringing his fall from the sky is a story we are all familiar with. It was this story that gives us the lesson of not going beyond what is dictated or not to be too curious or greedy.

Stephen Dobyns' version/ poem of the same myth presents the same case, but the only difference is that he presents the other possibility or other nature of the flight. For him, the escape doesn't merely mean an escape from the island or captivity, but it also signals the realization of what freedom is and to what extent it is available. For him, it was <em>"a great uplifting"</em>, <em>"fly[ing] precisely to the point of wisdom"</em>.

This unstructured and unusual pattern of poetry, the way the sentences are pulled along to the next stanza, without much punctuation makes the reader eager to keep reading. It <u>entices and arrests the reader's interest, pulling us along until the end. </u>

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

Why do you think Americans value the ideas of liberty, equality and justice by Martin Luther King's Letter from a Birmingham Jai

Jet001 [13]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

I think Americans value the ideas of liberty, equality, and justice by Martin Luther King's "Letter from a Birmingham Jail," because are the same values expressed by the United States founding fathers when they founded the new country and created the new Constitution during the Constitutional Convention of 1787, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. advanced as the leader of the civil rights movement in the 1960s, people admired and respected him for using a non-violent approach to protest and organize his demonstrations.

Dr. King was sent to jail in the city of Birmingham Alabama in April 1963, after organizing a march to protest. The problem was that he had no permission to conduct the march and that is why the Birmingham police arrested him. That is when he wrote the famous "Letter from a Birmingham Jail."

lidiya [134]

Dear Diary,

October 31st, 1658

On this very day, I survived a kraken attack. We were on our ship, and we had to bring ammunition's to other country's. T was very stormy on he high seas, but we managed. Later in the trip I saw something in the water, like a tentacle? I warned that captain but he ignored it. Eventually we heard a loud boom from underneath the ship, water started to get in! The captain shouted " Kraken!" Everyone started to panic. I decided to grab a spear, gather some spar wood and rope; to make a raft. The I'd use the spear to stab the kraken in the eye on my way to safety. I tied the last rope, and made my way toward the kraken.......

I made it to the kraken, i very slowly and carefully stabbed the kraken! She let out a huge roar before smashing the ship to pieces! I was very lucky to have gotten away.
