Answer:

C) Both the aquarium and the monument are architectural structures that have been destroyed or almost destroyed, and are symbols for a decent past.

Explanation:

"For the Union Dead" is a seventeen stanza poem by Robert Lowell (1917 – 1977). Colonel Shaw was an abolitionist who fought for Union Army during American Civil War and commanded first all-black regiment.

Lowell starts the poem with his childhood memory of an old South Boston Aquarium built near Colonel Shaw's statue to increase its beauty. He mentions these and some other monuments as symbol of decent and traditional past in which men fought for equality and for American dream. But now in modern times, their sacrifices have faded since capitalism has taken hold of American society, and slavery to money has mode the society servile.

In a paragraph describe the ideals or mindset of American Romanticism
Damm [24]

Answer:

Romanticism in American Literature,

Getting to Know Thoreau & Poe Within this paper will be an explanation of the ideals of Romantic writers in Early American Literature. We will also look at some aspects of Romanticism that were uniquely understood by the writers and artists in the United States. There will be a brief discussion of “bright” and “dark” Romantic writing and it is there that we will look at the lives, and one poem each, of Henry David Thoreau, a “bright” romantic writer and Edgar Allan Poe, a “dark” romantic writer. Romanticism began in Germany sometime around 1770. From there it spread to the rest of Europe including England and then finally to the United States. In the late Eighteenth Century people’s ideas about themselves, their religion, their world and the art and literature in it were evolving rapidly. This was mostly due to a re-examination of priorities and beliefs because of constant new scientific discoveries and an enthusiastic embrace of the uniquely human abilities of storytelling using ones imagination and a kind of rejection of reason and logic. For the first time since the concepts of religion and rulers began to regulate the spirit and creative energy of humankind people looked more to nature and within to define themselves and their humanity rather than to their Churches or to their Kings. The Romantic period of American Literature is from about 1830 to 1860 and it interestingly overlaps the period which is said to be Victorian (1830 to 1880) in the United States. Romantic writers believe in the natural goodness of man and also that what is special in a particular man should be highly valued. They indulge heavily in introspection and self-analysis. Some finding their deity within themselves while others found their religion in the beauty of nature. Nature was food for the soul that provided their inspiration and was a resource for their wisdom.
