Answer:

spent with her, I try to think with less bitterness of this act of injustice. She possessed but few slaves; and at her death those were all distributed among her relatives. Five of them were my grandmother's children, and had shared the same milk that nourished her mother's children. Notwithstanding my grandmother's long and faithful service to her owners, not one of her children escaped the auction block.

They cannot afford generator or UPS for the compensation of electricity. There is even electricity failure in the hospitals which creates difficulties for the patients and they attendees. The breakdown has been major in past several days and for more than 15 hours there is no electricity in the area.

It is therefore requested that you pay immediate attention to this issue. I hope that this issue will be addressed by the concerned authorities soon.

Yours's Sincerely,

Praveen.

Where does the tone shift in the poem?​
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

The tone of the poem changes in the last two lines.  

Explanation:

The given excerpt is taken from Sonnet 17, written by William Shakespeare. The sonnet is the last of the 'Procreation sonnet.' Through the medium of sonnets, the Sonneteer is trying to persuade the Fair Youth to marry him and <em>procreate </em>a child with him.

The Sonneteer is concerned that the poems that he has written describing the beauty of the Fair Youth, will be considered false by readers. Therefore, he persuades the Fair Youth to birth his child, who will testify on his behalf in the future.

This shift in the tone is seen in the last two lines of the sonnet.
