Answer:

The raven’s shadow has permanently darkened the speaker’s soul.

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's "The Raven" tells abut the loss of the speaker and his feeling of dejection and loneliness after the death of his love Lenore. The raven's visit emphasizes the depth of grief and heartbreak he had to endure, is still enduring and also the aloofness of his very existence.

The last stanza of the poem shows how the raven's visit had more deeply darkened the soul of the speaker. Initially, he had enjoyed the visit, conversing with it and even asking question. But when these questions pertain to Lenore and the raven's unceasing answer "<em>Nevermore</em>" made the speaker get mad and angry at the raven. The shadow of the raven cast on the floor is a symbol of the speaker's soul permanently darkened.

Answer:

Explanation:

People have the right to speak out. It is important because

1. We have the right to speak out. Our Bill of Rights is like the American first 10 amendments. It is our duty as well as our right to speak when those rights are threatened.

2. We have the right to uphold the rights of someone else if we do not cause trouble doing it. Same as the American 1st Amendment.

3. We have the right to worship any God we choose as long as we do not deny others that same right. That in Canada has been a contentious issue with both the Japanese and the Jehovah's Witnesses. The right to try to peaceably try to convert others to a faith is a hard won right both in Canada and the United States. Peaceably is the Key word.

4. We have the right and the duty to print literature as long as we do not use the printing press to promote hate. Canadian Neo  Nazi  is a particularly  deep issue and they have been brought to court many times. I don't know where that issue currently stands, but the courts struck down the threat of striking down their rights to publish.

5. We have the right to gather together to protest something as long as we do it peacefully -- which is a hard right currently. The peaceably part is getting stretched in the United States. I don't know what the outcome of that will be, but demonstrations have always been a way of life in the US and Canada. Sometime when you have a few moments you ought to look at the Vietnam objections.

6) the right to vote was hard won but the Women in the United States particularly. It took 144 years to get the 19th Amendment in America. Canada did 3 years earlier. The women in the US did through peaceful demonstration. It was important to speak out.

7) Civil rights. Martin Luther King. Passive Resistance. Success look it up. There are a lot of examples.
