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

1 answer:

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.

What are your thoughts about the lack of evidence of voter fraud? Explain in 100 words

nexus9112 [7]

Answer:

My thoughts are that voter fraud does exist and its very real. The fact the president brought it up in today's time is quite dangerous. Not only are we in a pandemic, but people are already on the edge with Black Lives Matter movement. The lack of evidence for voter fraud has people questioning if their vote or opinion matters. This is very dangerous because if the people of america think their constituitonal rights are being violated...the country is going to fail and we will be taken over by bigger countires like china or great britain.
