did Phillis Wheatley choose to write in this form? What are the benefits and disadvantages of it?

Answer:

Phillis Wheatley choose to write like this because:

1. Poems written in iambic pentameter expresses decorum and grandeur of the language.

2. Each couplet expresses a complete thought.

3. There is an "explosion" good rhyming couplets bring. It brings both the rhyme and the idea into a quick close in two lines.

Explanation:

Some of the benefits are:

1. This form of writing enabled Wheatley to purposefully advocate her freedom.

2. It was a tool to deliver safely on the subject matter for a slave poet in a dominantly white society.

3. Wheatley utilizes satire to force an acknowledgement of equality in the eyes of God by her keepers.

4. It makes poems and poets become serious and seriously accepted by readers.

The one disadvantage I discovered is that it seems somehow cumbersome to understand by laymen.

Hey! i think you could maybe start with two animals that are best friends (for example a frog and a duck) one follows the other around where ever he/she goes. that one copies everything he/she does :)

the duck (in example) starts getting very angry that (we’ll use the frog in this case) the frog is coping everything he/she does

this creates conflict :)

some things that your character can do about this situation include

invading their house
coping everything they do
killing them

hope this helps :)

brainliest please
