Question #2:
</span>-The two texts share a common theme as they both start neutral in loneliness and end up cheek in tongue with a happy ending. Despite this, both have slight contrasts in theme: The first text observes "others" with much symbolism in poetry, sending a somewhat clear message of how loneliness can open the eyes in the beauty of the world. The second theme is more straight forward as it seems to state loneliness is only temporary.
Answer:
Root words are parts of words which cannot be divided any further, but which have some kind of meaning on their own. Here, I believe that root words are cred, graph, and vis.
Cred (as found in credible, credibility), means something believable; graph (as in graphic) means to write; vis (as in visible) means to see. Anti, con, and post are all prefixes, which means they are added to words and cannot be root words thus.
