Which one of the following poems is written in free verse?

1 answer:

5 0

The poem which is written in free verse is C. "Grass." Free verse refers to the fact that the poet doesn't follow any strict rules of poetry, such as those of rhyming schemes, or a perfect meter. B and D have regular rhymes, which is why they are incorrect. A doesn't have a rhyme, but has a regular meter where one line has 13 syllables, and the next one 11, and they alternate. The only poem which doesn't have the rhyme or a regular meter is "Grass."

Readers of Beowulf will likely view Grendel as a villain. Readers of Grendel, however, will likely view the character as more __

ValentinkaMS [17]

The correct answer is sympathetic.

If you read Beowulf, you will see that Grendel is a vicious monster who doesn't care about humanity at all - people are there just for him to eat. On the other hand, if you read Grendel, you will see what happened from his point of view - that he is not just a brainless beast, and that he has thoughts and feelings.

Title: let América be America again

Zolol [24]

The author's choice of language in lines 80-86 shape the readers perception in the sense that:

The strong word choice by the author evokes strong feelings from readers, which shapes their perception that America needs to change drastically so that it can truly have freedom and equality.

The author's choice to end the poem this way is similar to a call to action in the sense that:

A call to action tells the audience what they should do. Likewise, Hughes tells readers that they must redeem America and its people, that they must make America what it was supposed to be.

"Let America be America Again" is a poem by Langston Hughes (1901-1967), American poet and social activist who was the leader of the Harlem Renaissance movement.
The last stanza of the poem, lines 80-86, uses very strong word choice. Words such as "ruin", "death", "stealth" and "lies", among others, convey the idea that America is rotten.
What the author wants is to evoke a strong feeling from readers. He wants them to want to change America.
In a sense, the final stanza is a call to action. The author invites the audience to do something to change those awful things about the country.
Hughes calls people to redeem America - its lands, rivers, mountains, mines, plants. By acting, people can make America the country of freedom and equality it should be.
