Using the system of elimination, I'd say the correct answer is <span>C. It shows the worst of America, whereas the other poem shows the best of America.
It's not A because there is no love being portrayed in "I Sit and Look Out;" it's not B because there is no defined rhyme scheme in that poem; it's not D because both poems show the working class.
So based on this, it has to be C - the first poem shows hatred, pain, and violence, whereas the other one shows unity and love.

Answer:
A funeral in the South which used products made in the North
Explanation:
This question refers to Henry Grady's speech to the Bay State Club of Boston in 1889. In this speech, the author tries to convey the idea of the "New South." This is a new identity that Grady hopes the South could adopt in order to make itself more productive and industrial like the North. In this speech, Grady tells the story of a man who died and was buried in the South. However, he argues that the only products that the South provided for the funeral were "the man and the hole," and that all other products came from the North.
Answer: The poem "Shoulders," by Naomi Shihab Nye reflects on our lives today.
Explanation: In the poem, Nye tells us about a man crossing a street in the rain with a young child he is carrying.He must use caution crossing the street. He must caution to avoid the raindrops, all the while looking, listening and caring for the child he is carrying. The symbolism of course is, that we are that person carrying the child, and it is our responsibility to do all we can to care for, nurture and protect that child because our society is such today that there are many raindrops, puddles and speeding autos we need to avoid, not in the literal sense but certainly figuratively. In this time of pandemic, the message could not be clearer-we need to care for one another. We need to take care of one another, because we are all in this together.
