Answer:

A.  People who are awake when the speaker sleeps.

Explanation:

The poem "My Bed is a Boat" by Robert Louis Stevenson is a four-lined four-stanza poem that describes the very childlike scene for a child to sleep. Describing his bed as a boat, he fantasizes that sleeping is like sailing on a journey, which is a rather exciting way for a child to view sleep.

This children poetry simplifies the theme of sleeping and captures the childish nature of how sleep can be imagined as. The narrator of the poem is a small child who looks forward to sailing. He begins the poem by saying that "My bed is like a little boat; Nurse helps me in when I embark; She girds me in my sailor's coat And starts me in the dark." This childhood imagination of the very act of sleeping makes it more fun and exciting unlike the ordinary way of putting a child to bed. The second stanza reads "At night I go on board and say Good-night to all my friends on shore" which might be suggestive of the child bidding goodnight to those who are still awake. Children go to sleep before the adults so, the child narrator may have been talking about the adults who are still awake when he had to go to sleep.

The principal has cancelled the prom. You are trying to persuade him/her to reconsider his/her decision. ( i have to use Ethos,
NeTakaya
Here's an answer:

"As you know, I am an upstanding member of the academic team, basketball team, volleyball team, student counsel, and future engineer club. Being an outstanding student and athlete, I hope that you will find my objection to your cancelling of my senior class prom compelling. My family and I have attended church with you and your son, who graduated last year, my entire life. I've always found you to be a reasonable and caring man, who always has his students' best interest at heart. Prom is a right of passage for every high school student. It is a night to celebrate the friendships, long years of gruesome school work, and the coming of our adult lives. We have worked extremely hard on the fundraisers to pay for prom. It would be a waste of all the time and effort put into it, if you cancel prom."

Ethos means to show the ethics of the situation or your good character.
Pathos- means to try to incline to their emotions.
Logos- means to appeal to their reasoning or logic.

Problem One

Background

Science majors can get in this argument. (Then I will answer the question more directly). Researchers at the University of Hawaii estimate that the number of grains of sand on our planet is about 7.5*10^18 grains of said. This number, large as it is can be equated to the number of molecules in 20 drops of water.

The number of stars in the Universe is many millions of times larger than the grains of sand on our planet. So while the writer is holding just one of these grains of sand, the enormity of the situation strikes her, and that leads her to a very "loving" and [in my opinion] humbling thought.

She compares all of this enormity with how little we actually live, how small our lifespan seems to be. It takes real humility to thank and accept thoughts like that.

<u><em>Answer</em></u>

So the key point is contained in the last sentence beginning with "Oh how ... and ending with the period on the next line.

Problem Two

An enjambment in poetry is a continuation of a thought beyond a point where an ending should be. The first 2 lines start out by stating that perhaps it would be best if youth and life were in a trance and should not awaken until a beam of eternity should bring the marrow to a conscious state.

Even though that dream would be of a hopeless sorrow, it would be better than what we live through, to the person who lives though this without the dream.

The enjambment is contained in the thought of the second last line beginning with 'Twere better than the cold reality of waking life ...

Problem Three

I'm not going to explain this too deeply. I think it has answers in what accompanied it. I would pick Two and Three as your best 2 answers. The deep friendship shown by the kind visitor is not that common in abolitionist literature. Most of it focuses on the cruelty of the society and the greed of the landowners and the rights of the colored to be free. This is quite different. It speaks of the kindness of one person willing to break the code.
