1. The Allusions in this poem are all famous historical battle sites. Austerlitz and Waterloo are two famous sites of battles led by Napoleon in the 1800s. Gettysburg is a famous site where there was a pivotal battle during the Civil War. Ypres and Verdun are both places where battles were held during World War I. All of these battle sites mark areas and moments of significant bloodshed, which relates to the overall idea of the poem that even the most gruesome history can be brushed over, and can produce growth. The grass in the poem wishes to cover the death and the darkness left behind by tragedies such as these.
2. Grass is personified in this poem. It continuously speaks throughout the poem (a human quality), and says "Let me work". Doing work is seen as a predominantly human activity, which also lends to the personification of the grass.
3. This is mostly an opinion question, but it could either be argued that either:
- Yes, this is contradictory, because there are all of these tokens that cover over the land where this tragic event took place, turning it into a tourist site, rather than a solemn gravesite
or
- No, because these memorial items <em>represent</em> the loss that happened at this site, and pay homage to it, so that the battle and lives lost are <em>not </em>forgotten.

<em>Franz Kafka's It's a Wonderful Life </em>is a short film by Peter Capaldi. The title is a combination of the author Franz Kafka and the film "It's a Wonderful Life."
In the video, Kafka is presented as a serious, tortured artist who is writing his masterpiece (<em>The Metamorphosis</em>). However, he is also incredibly obtuse. He is tormented by indecision as he cannot decide what Gregor Samsa should turn into. Although the answer seems to be obvious, Kafka goes through a long list of absurd options, including a banana and a kangaroo.
The last three paragraphs describe how the coyote adapts to survive.
Two examples from the passage:
1) The coyote adapts easily to new areas. Unlike the buffalo or wolf, the coyote's range increased after human populations expanded across the continent. For example, the coyote was not native to New England. Once the New England settlers eliminated wolves, however, the coyote moved in. Scientists who have studied the coyote believe it is better than the wolf at living in human areas.
2)Coyotes are now found in most large urban areas. They find an abundant supply of food in these areas, since coyotes are willing to eat garbage, rodents and even small pets, such as cats.
