Answer:

B). That his body will become part of the earth.

Explanation:

'Song of Myself' is illustrated as one of the most acknowledged poems from his collection "Leaves of Grass". The poem celebrates 'individuality' (acknowledgment of self) and reflects the idea of 'transient' nature of human life. The poet describes the idea of the intermingling of the individual self with the 'universal self' and hopes for a mystical union with the almighty.

As per the question, in the given lines the poet suggests that 'his body will become a part of the earth' reflective of brevity of life(as reflected by 'I bequeath myself to the dirt') and thus, he anticipates a spiritual union of his self with the supreme authority(God). Therefore, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.

I believe that the answer is his body will become a part of the earth, because 'bequeath' means to pass something on or leave to someone else, and he is leaving his body and letting it become one with the earth.

I'm almost 100% sure its To Come, for it sounds the most like an infinitive verb.

A cousin of yours in ss2 is discovered to be pregnant and her father has threatened to send her out of the house. Write a letter
ryzh [129]

Answer:

Letter to an uncle to pacify him from acting harshly against his daughter who's pregnant while still a school girl.

Explanation:

Parkland Avenue

New Jersey

15 May 2010

My dear uncle,

I know this must be a hard time for you to even listen to anyone but I request you to kindly hear out what I am about to say. I hope you will not stop reading until you reach the last word, and maybe it will help you clear your mind, even if only a bit.

I have heard of my cousin’s pregnancy and I also know it must have been a shock and even an embarrassing situation. But I can say that it is not an embarrassing situation nor is it something to be ashamed about. Of course, getting pregnant that young is something unthinkable and also unaccepted by her but whatever's happened is done. We can't change anything nor can we just regret and wish time goes back. What we need now is to move forward and find the best solution for everyone involved.

I know your first reaction must have been of shock and anger at her but driving her out of the house won't help. It will only drive a deeper gap between the two of you and she will feel abandoned when she needed to support the most. It will obviously be scary enough for her, and added to that, her family's deserting her. The only people supposed to support her are the ones turning her away, which will be heartbreaking. Please, make sure that she doesn’t feel rejected and unloved when she needed love and support from the people she love the most. You are and will always be family to each other and nothing can change that, even if you kick her out of the house or disown her. She has your blood and she’’ always be your family no matter what happens.

But Uncle, let's think reasonably. If you take her, assure her and stand by her side, she will find it even more comforting and loved. She will know the depth of your love for her and she will learn a valuable lesson of how a parent is at times like this. Your actions will be the precedent for her future relationship with her child. Moreover, when people will criticize her, having you by her side will ensure and comfort her in knowing that she has all she needs to be safe and happy. She will rediscover the value of family and you will also gain a grandchild.

Uncle, it is my hope and prayer that you do not reject her but rather, be accepting of her and forgive her. She's just a child who needs her parents to help her guide at this difficult time. So, please, be there for her and her child.

I will be waiting for better news from you and will visit as soon as I can.

Lots of love,

Brenda.
