Answer:

TRUTH BY NIKKI GRIMES

1. The truth is, every day we rise is like thunder — a clap of surprise.

2. Could be echoes of trouble, or blossoms of blessing.

3. You never know what garish or gorgeously disguised memories-to-be might rain down from above.

4. So, look up! Claim that cloud with the silver lining.

5. Our job, if you ask me, is to follow it.

6. See where it heads.

Explanation:

Like in everyday life, tone can either be angry, happy, sad, excited, formal or informal. This depiction of tone can also be applied to poetry. A reader or audience can read through a poem and detect the tone the poet is using to convey his message.

Tone can be formal, informal, playful, angry, serious or humorous, and the tone of a poem can even change throughout the poem.

While describing a poem,adjectives can be used to convey the reader's interpretation of the poem and how much he appreciates the poem or not.

Alliteration is the occurrence of the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely related words.

"Claim that cloud", in line 4

"blossoms of blessing" in line 2

"memories-to-be might rain down" in line 3

These are some examples of alliteration used in the poem.

The poet develops the tone of the poem using alliteration as he implores the readers about the dawn of each new day. He describes it as thunder, echoes of trouble or blossoms of blessings. He's trying to set the stage using a descriptive formal tone.

The author also talks about the uncertainty of life in line 3.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer: "This nocturnal amphibian often hides under the same rock for its entire adult life span-up to thirty years-emerging at night to feed largely on crayfish."

Explanation:

Rocky River bottoms at North Carolina Pisgah National Forest are where Eastern Hellbenders seem to blending into.

They could be right underneath swimmers who would never know that they are there meaning that the swimmers could inadvertently destroy or cause damage to the habitat of the Eastern Hellbenders.

These habitats are very important to the Eastern Hellbender because as the text states, they could hide under the same rock for their entire lifespan which is on average 30 years. Those rocky bottoms are therefore very important to it's lifecycle.
