Why does Whitman call ship "grim and daring" in line 4?

English
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
7 0

Line 4: “Keel” has multiple meanings. The first is the part of the ship that goes along the underside that gives the ship stability in the water. This usage really doesn’t make much sense, though, because one can’t see a “steady keel” unless the boat has fallen over. The other use of keel here is as a synecdoche. The keel, a part of a boat, is used to represent the whole boat. More importantly, "the steady keel" lets us know that, despite its rough trip, the ship (like the nation) remains steadfast and true.

Write a story ending with the statement : At that moment, I wish I had been more serious with my studies​
NikAS [45]

Answer:

In the park near the StarForce High school, I am almost done with my senior year. As night had begun to fall and the misty forest had started to fade away. Everybody has gone to sleep already but for some reason, I cannot sleep, so I decided to walk in the nearest park. On my way to the park, I realized that I had a big test tomorrow morning. I decided that I already knew what to do on the test and that I didn't need to study for it. As I continued through the park, I had come across some people out on a late-night stroll. As I walked past the people in the park, I realizes that I'd just passed my friend James who had dropped out of college when I was starting my senior year. As I turned around to say hello to James, he was nowhere to be found. So I continue on my way through the park. I began to start to think about how I wanted to get into a good college and get a good scholarship. I start to get tired and begin to walk home. On my way home I accidentally bumps into my math teacher who had just gotten off of work. My teacher asks me "Why aren't you at home studying for the big test tomorrow?" I replied, "I already know all the answers on the test so, I decided to go for a walk before I got to sleep," and walks away. When I got home I went straight up to my room and got ready for bed.

The next morning, I woke up and got ready for school. On my way to school I meet up with my other friends and, they started to talk about how much they studied for the test but they still aren't ready for the test. The school day was about to start and we had just gotten into our first hour. The bell had rung and the test was administered. Once I had skimmed through all the test questions I knew that I wasn't going to do good. For as the questions were on Riemann hypothesis. As the bell had rung I put his pencil down and handed the test to the teacher. The teacher announces that the results would be posted and the students with the top five highest scores will be getting a Math Scholarship to any college. I continued throughout the day confident that I had made the top five. As my sixth hour was near an end I realizes that the results would be posted. The bell rang and I immediately ran out of class to see if the results were posted. As I neared the math results poster I began to see a crowd of people around the poster looking for their names. I started to push my way through the crowd and as I got to the results poster I noticed my name isn't on the top of the list. I began to skim down the poster to look for my name as I came to the number 49 I realized that I had not even made the top 50. On my way home my friends start to comfort me and I start to regret not studying for the test.

The next day I walk to my teacher and asked if I was able to redo the exam. The teacher replied with "No, the test had already been administered maybe you should have studied more". At that moment, I wish I had been more serious with my studies​.

(I tried my best and again sorry for the inconvenience of my lateness. Feel free to change whatever you want. Hope you have a good day!)
