English

Answer:

The third stanza contrasts the image of the birds from the first stanza.

Explanation:

The poem "Auspex" by James Russell Lowell tells of how the speaker's heart is like that of a songbird. Passion had left his heart just as a songbird had left it's home.

The first stanza tells of his loss of passion just like the bird leaving the home. The bird is the imagery of the lost passion or love of the poet.

Second stanza reveals his wish that if only the songbird was instead a swallow, then it would have stayed longer. And this will in turn make his love also remain longer with him.

Third stanza rejects the whole idea of the birds being a symbol of passion or love. Instead, the birds in this stanza stands as a contradiction or contrasting of the first stanza image of birds. Here, they are just a cause of "confusion' to him.

Television shows about criminal investigations have been popular for years but, few viewers understand the intricacies of an actual crime scene investigation. If an autopsy is required masked forensic pathologists examine the body. The body -not the murder weapon-  is the most important piece of evidence. The exact time of death cannot be known without a witness. A forensic pathologist, however, can estimate the time of death with certainty. Upon death, a human body begins to decompose. It goes through several stages of decomposition, knowing the time of death combined with other evidence, may shed light on the cause of death. Often the pathologist has crime scene information from detectives at the time of the autopsy. Legally, there are five causes of death: natural homicide, suicide, accident, and undetermined. Natural causes of death such as heart disease, cancer, and stroke account for more than half of the natural deaths in the United States annually. Criminal cases usually involve unnatural causes of death such as homicide, suicide, and accident.
