<span>While walking on the beach the author realized what is wrong with poetry. Collins begins to explain that one poet wrote a poem and people liked it so it made even more people become poets. Now EVERYONE thinks they are poets. He goes on to say that it will end when people realize that poets do not write anything of actual substance. Eventually the rise of poets will die down and they will hold their heads down low.</span>

1. Which statement best expresses a theme in the poem?
irina1246 [14]

To identify the theme of this poem read the poem carefully and identify its underlying ideas of it.

<h3>What is a theme?</h3>

The word "theme" is used in literature to define the main idea the author of a literary work supports in the literary work. This idea is often about life, so, some examples of themes are:

  • Love is more important than money.
  • Conflicts should be solved peacefully.
  • Friendship is important.

<h3>How to identify a theme?</h3>

To identify a theme you should:

  • Carefully read the literary work, in this case, the poem.
  • Identify the main idea or ideas supported by the author.
  • Compare the ideas identified to the options provided to determine which option is accurate.

Note: This question is incomplete because the poem is not provided; due to this I answered it based on general knowledge.

Hey! I hope you are doing okay, and here is my answer with my own words, all I hope is you turn my words into your own :)

Illustration is a very important text feature because it provides an imagery to the reader. Illustration is what makes a story more interesting. It provides a base for the imagination the reader can create in their mind.

Honestly I hope this is what the question meant. Good luck!

Which would be the best question to ask after reading paragraph 6? What other famous people have been poisoned by arsenic? How c
kykrilka [37]
If this was the missing paragraph 6:
<span>"The details of Napoleon's death are unclear. However, there is no question that people today are getting ill and dying from arsenic poisoning. Arsenic compounds occur naturally in the earth's makeup. Contamination of ground water has been found in many countries, including Argentina, Chile, China, India, Mexico, Taiwan, Thailand, and even the United States. It is a global problem." 
</span>
<span>The best question to ask after reading paragraph 6 is:
How did the ground water in these countries become contaminated? 

It is the best question because the contamination has already reached numerous countries and it should be stopped before it becomes a bigger global problem by contaminating other countries. </span>
