Answer:
Donne uses the extended metaphor of a ‘city’ not only in ‘Holy Sonnet XIV’ but also in ‘Loves War’. In this Elegy which was written in Donne’s youth, he describes a ‘free City’ which ‘thyself allow to anyone’ – a metaphor for how anyone can enter a woman [ii] – and goes onto say how in there he would like to ‘batter, bleeds and dye’. Here, Donne is controlling the ‘city’ and taking over it himself, however, if Donne intended to use this same metaphor in ‘Holy Sonnet XIV’, the roles have changed and it now signifies how it is Donne who needs to be seized by God’s spirit. Furthermore, this represents how Donne’s life and therefore attitude has changed between writing these poems; he used to feel in control but now he is controlled.
The physical verbs that are used immediately sets the violent theme of the octave. The spondaic feet emphasizes Donne’s cry for God to ‘break, blow’ and ‘burn’ his heart so he can become ‘imprisoned’ in God’s power, creating a paradoxical image of a benevolent God acting in a brutal way. He uses a metaphysical conceit to explain how he is ‘like an usurp’d town’ with God’s viceroy (reason) in him. This imagery of warfare that pervades the sonnet symbolises his soul at war with himself; only if God physically ‘overthrow’s’ Donne and ‘batters’ his sinful heart will he be able to ‘divorce’ the devil. It was around the time of writing this poem that Donne renounced his Catholic upbringing which gives evidence to the assumption that the sin he was struggling with began to overpower his Christian beliefs and needed God become as real to him as God was to his respected Catholic parents. Furthermore, in ‘Holy Sonnet XVII’ Donne exclaims how ‘though [he] have found [God], and thou [his] thirst hast fed, a holy thirsty dropsy melts [him] yet. This reveals that Donne feels that even though he has found God, his yearning is not satisfied which gives evidence towards the assumption that he is crying out for spiritual ecstasy. This paradox between freedom and captivity was most frequently written about by most prison poets such as Richard Lovelace [iii] Donne wrote, ‘Except you enthrall me, never shall be free’ which implies the same idea as Loveless in ‘To Althea, From Prison’ that true freedom is internal, not external, symbolising his struggle with sin whilst he is physically free.

Answer:
Both immediate and longer term industry responses to the security failures related to transportation showed
that various security holes existed between businesses in transportation chains from all modes and that many
transportation businesses were unaware of how other links in their chain handled safety issues, or if they did at all.
The regulation concerns areas that present safety concerns and may cause loss of life.
The inability of players in transportation chains to identify who was handling safety issues and how they were handling them
highlights a need for clarification of duties and roles within the industry.
The
investigation of the 9/11 events have further highlighted widespread and serious security flaws in the transportation
industry, such as the lack of regulation of flight schools and the use of water transportation to ship potentially lethal
items such as explosives. Unfortunately, the various security precautions that have placed a financial burden on
transportation companies change frequently and are often ineffective.

Beginning sentences with the word 'I saw' signifies that one was a witness to a particular incident. That is the informatuon of what transpired wasn't a relayed message from another source but a firsthand account of what happend. The repetition of the word also indicates persistence and hence continues to draw the attention of the listener to the account of the event being relayed. Similarly, the word being repeated and given by a firsthand witness will continually call on emotions which might help in effective conveyance of the message being passed.
