Answer: formal and uplifting

Explanation:

In the poem "The Swan" Rilke compares humans lives with the swan. In that way the writer makes a comparison between the difficult and strange that humans lives can be with the strange way in which the swan walks. However, when the swan enters the water its movement is soft and smooth such like when humans die, the transition from life to death is smooth. This demonstrates the tone used in the poem that is quite formal because of the language and uplifting because of the ideas.

Can anyone help me paraphrase these two lines from this poem
Murljashka [212]
Sure.

I'm a runaway slave. Dogs chase and bite me.
I'm sad and scared. Men with guns shoot at me.
I cut myself on the fence.
I trip on rocks and weeds.
Men on horses chase me.
They yell and hit me.

It is night. I am bleeding. They watch quietly.
I don't hurt anymore. It is ok.
White men take off their masks to watch.
Things are going dark as I die.

Analysis. Although the details of the story are there, the art, the poetry is lost.
Part of the beauty of poetry is leaving it to the reader to understand what the poet is saying without directly saying it.
The paraphrase is simply a story, but the poem is art.

Write a 150 word essay that discusses two key differences between the prose form of Sojourner Truth's speech and the poetic vers
torisob [31]

One of the important purposes of nineteenth-century American speeches was to aid in understanding the experience of slavery from a personal point of view. In Sojourner Truth’s speech to the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851, she discusses both the abolition of slavery and women’s rights. During Truth’s life, enslaved people of African descent were denied basic human rights. At the same time, women were denied the right to vote or hold a political office. Women only had very few rights to property or earnings.


The poetic version of Truth’s speech emphasizes the painful experience of African American women who were enslaved. The phrase “13 children,” “almost all,” “cried out” and “grief” appeals to the reader’s emotions to create an aesthetic experience. Through this emotional response, the speaker conveys the central idea of the poem as being the importance of equal rights for African Americans and all women.
