Answer: The answer is stark.

Explanation:

    This excerpt is the final stanza of a poem called <em>Spring and All</em> written by William Carlos Williams. In general terms, in the poem there's a description of very gloomy and somber scenery on a winter day. However, towards the end of the fourth stanza, there is a change: Spring slowly makes its way. What the person describes is a desolate landscape but he is beginning to notice some hints of springtime. This turn from winter to spring does't happen immediately and this is where the answer to this question comes.

     According to the Longman Dictionary, <u>stark</u> means "very plain in appearance, with little or no colour or decoration." This word in this last stanza of the poem has a negative connotation. It makes reference to the dying plants and their remains, a dull lifeless scenery in winter. The rest of the excerpt carries a positive connotation. Although there's no sudden growth of plants, there will be a slow transformation, where roots will be strong enough to awaken.

Stark

This word has the most negative connotation because stark means "severe or bare in appearance or outline" meaning it has a ghastly appearance.

The radio broadcast features interviews with hurricanes victims. Why do you think Cheryl Corley includes these interviews instea
JulsSmile [24]

Answer:

She brought the hurricane victims so the listeners would hear their stories from their perspective.

Explanation:

Cheryl Corley was aware that describing the experiences the victims of the hurricane had from a third person perspective would not accurately convey the horrors the victims experienced so she had to include the interviews of the victims themselves so listeners would better the experience from the first person perspective.

When a story is being narrated in the third person narrative, that is another person describing events from a detached view the emotions are not properly captured and the 0erson simply describes it the way he sees it or thinks it happened. It is not an accurate way of describing events.

When narrating an experience in the first person, the person describes it exactly how it happened to them and how they felt when it was happening and how they felt after the event. It is a description based on the descriptor's experience.
