The poem I have chosen is Small Dragon by Brian Patten.
The poem appeals to children's imagination to tell them about a dragon that the author has found in the forest. The author depicts the dragon. He says that it feds on many things like grass, roots of stars, hazel nut and dandelion. Then the author says the dragon made a nest among the coal not unlike a bird but larger. the author says that if you believed in it he would come hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder. In this way he leans on children's innocense to make them believe.
What I liked about this poem is that in a world in which children are treated like adults and they have to worry about life. In a world in which children are forced to work and they have to make a living, there is this dragon that appears in the forest. Thus the author appeals to the innocense of children to make them believe in a wonderful creature, in a wonderful life.
The quote that I like is
If you believed in it I would come
hurrying to your house to let you share this wonder,
Because that makes me think that there is a dragon, that there is a wonderlful creature in the forest. I just have to believe.
Answer:
Highly valuable, courageous, critical role
Explanation:
The given excerpt is the following:
In World War I and World War II, American Indian soldiers played a critical role in the US military effort by using their native languages as the basis for creating successful codes. The most famous of these soldiers were a group of four hundred men known as the Navajo code talkers. These innovative and courageous soldiers developed for the United States Marine Corps a virtually unbreakable military code, which proved highly valuable against the Japanese during the Second World War.
The words used to create a tone of admiration, that express respect and approval, in it are <em>highly valuable, courageous, </em>and <em>critical role.</em>
The code of the Navajo is described as highly valuable, which means that it was approved of and considered to be an important asset by the United States.
The Navajo soldiers are described as courageous, which is another positive, respected trait. They were brave and not afraid to get hurt or even lose their lives for the sake of victory.
The fact that these soldiers played a critical role means that they played a huge part in war and greatly contributed to its positive outcome.
Wilson was irritated with the pilot because he deliberately ignored his warnings.
<h3>What did Wilson warn the pilot?</h3>
- The plane was being sabotaged.
- A man was ripping the engine plates.
- Everyone was in danger.
As much as Wilson warned about the man who was damaging the plane's engine, he was ignored by the pilot who acted as if Wilson was crazy or trying to scare the passengers. This provoked Wilson's ire.
This kind of behavior indirectly characterizes Wilson, as it shows how much he dislikes being ignored or discredited.
