Answer: For example, in "There was a rail, a hook, a beam, a brake...", the one-syllable words do create a sense of rhythm while describing several items that only by chance helped some people escape.

In "Because rain fell. Because a shadow fell. Because sunny weather prevailed" there´s an example of assonance, meaning there´s a repetition of vowel sounds with non-rhyming words, that refers to the many different circumstances that became a chance for survival.

Explanation:

The theme in this poem refers to the author, and many others, surviving the Holocaust as a matter of luck and good chances. That´s why a poem full of rhymes that usually provide a cheerful tone, would not be suitable in this case. Other sound devices, such as assonance, prevail.

AlekseyPX

Answer: The correct answer is: "Protests against the Vietnam war".

A counterculture is a subculture which typically rejects and contradicts the values which shape the mainstream society. This kind of movements usually reflect the aspirations of speficic generation and human group during a certain era.

The counterculture that proliferated during the 1960s in the US, was usually associated with the hippy subculture and it rejected the traditional way of life, the so-called 'American Dream' and the establishment.

In that moment, the US society wanted the end of the participation in the Vietnam war. This is why the counterculture movement praised for peace and performed many demonstrations claiming for the end of the conflict, for pacifism and for saving human lives.
