Answer: C. Though their personalities were very different, Dickinson and Whitman are both important poets because they captured elements of American life in memorable ways.
Explanation:
This is the most effective comparison-contrast statement because it shows why the two poets should have been different but instead surmounted those differences and had a shared legacy.
It did this by showing that even though both poets had different characters, they managed to capture American lifestyle in a memorable manner even though they would have been expected not to do so seeing as they are similar people.
Answer:
I'm pretty sure this is a metaphor
I believe it would be good, (I'm not 100% sure) but i think it's good because good fits that description and sounds better. Hopefully you get an A+ :) if not, sorry:(
Everyone knows a guy like Jared: the burnout kid in high school who sells weed cookies and has a scary mom who's often wasted and wielding some kind of weapon. Jared does smoke and drink too much, and he does make the best cookies in town, and his mom is a mess, but he's also a kid who has an immense capacity for compassion and an impulse to watch over people more than twice his age, and he can't rely on anyone for consistent love and support, except for his flatulent pit bull, Baby Killer (he calls her Baby)--and now she's dead.
Jared can't count on his mom to stay sober and stick around to take care of him. He can't rely on his dad to pay the bills and support his new wife and step-daughter. Jared is only sixteen but feels like he is the one who must stabilize his family's life, even look out for his elderly neighbours. But he struggles to keep everything afloat...and sometimes he blacks out. And he puzzles over why his maternal grandmother has never liked him, why she says he's the son of a trickster, that he isn't human. Mind you, ravens speak to him--even when he's not stoned.
