Answer:

The author means that now the tools are more important that the message itself.

Explanation:

The excerpt belongs to Small Change: Why the Revolution Won't Be Tweeted, an article written by Malcolm Gladwell, a Canadian journalist and writer. There, he discusses the impact of social media and other new tools in different movements across the world.

In this sentence, Gladwell means that the vehicle the message uses to travel is more important than the message itself. He uses as an example the case of Iran, where people got enough courage to uprise because of social media like Twitter. Even though it is an interesting idea, I don't totally agree with this. I think how the message travels is important, otherwise it could be really important but sterile. There's where the tools take more relevance; sometimes, due to different factors, the tools are faster and more efficient to use communication, but if the message is not relevant, then there are no good reasons to use the tools.

‘For song, issuing from its birth-place, after fulfillment, wandering Reck'd or unreck'd, duly with love returns' a) Why are the
hjlf

Answer:

Explanation:

a)

the last lines are put in a bracket because they do not make the thoughts of the poet, and neither do they make the voice of the rain. What they contain, is the observation that the poet made as regards the course the poem is taking.

b)

reck'd or unreck'd means that whether or not you cared for the sound of the rains, if someone listened to the sound made by the rain, if someone didn't listen, whatever the case may be, it does not affect the rains and neither does it affects the poet.
