1. A specific way in which the language describing goals and dreams differs from the one describing difficulties faced along the way is the use of images. When talking about goals and dreams the images convey a positive message by using words that have a positive connotation or that evoke a happy memory such as hope or rising song. In contrast, the writer uses dark images to appeal to negativity when referring to difficulties faced along the way, such as stony road and weary feet.
2. An element of structure that makes the text a lyric poem is the rhyme that at the end of the verses caused by similar ending sounds such as sing and ring. Also, the use of anaphoras (repetition of words at the beginning of the verses) adds musicality to the poem. An example of an anaphora in the poem is the following:
Sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us,
Sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us.
Answer:
The playwright wants the reader to understand that the main cause among the problems was the lack of communication and understanding among family members.
Explanation:
The excerpt presented in the question above is an excerpt from the play "A raisin in the sun" which features a family who received a large amount of money, which, despite changing their lives, proved that many problems affected all members of the family. These problems often become much bigger than what they should be due to the internal fights in the family, caused by the lack of communication, understanding and trust between the members. This is highlighted in the excerpt presented in the question above, where Walter, one of the main characters, feels uncomfortable with how the emotional distance between family members has affected everyone's lives.

Answer: I would actually disagree on this
Explanation: In America there was a time period where conscientious objectors were ordered by the government to vote. However, their denial to vote brought them severe prison time, torture and opposition. If 16 year olds could vote then people with religious beliefs or who are conscientious objectors would be bullied by political peers and such pressure could obligate them to go against their conscious and norms. From ages 16 to 18 a person is too young to commit the right decisions without a person actually influencing them. A person is capable of thinking for themselves without outward influences when they are about 21 and up. Also, voting is not necessary, it’s simple tradition. It’s a superficial thing, people think they choose the president but in reality it’s the Supreme Court who makes that decision for you. You could fact check that if you attend a civics class or if you directly ask a representative from congress.
The tone would be determined by the kind of people the author is writing for. A story for children is going to have a different tone than a graduate thesis even if they are on the same topic.
Hope that helps.
