Stanza 7 is when the raven flies into the room and sits on the state of Pallas (Greek goddess of wisdom)

At first, the narrator is amused that it's just a bird. He asks the bird its name and it said, "Nevermore."

The narrator mentioned earlier of the lost of his love Lenore, and he doesn't know if the raven's repetition of "nevermore" is connected to his sorrow - or if it's just a coincidence.

"On the morrow he will leave me, as my Hopes have flown before.

Then the bird said 'Nevermore'"

The narrator mentions the arrival of angels (Seraphim, "by the angels he hath sent thee) who burn incense and hopes that the raven is there to help him forget his sorrows. He wants to drink a potion to forget his sadness.

quaff = drink

nepenthe = medicine to treat sadness

(Stanza 14)

Then, methought, the air grew denser, perfumed from an unseen censer

Swung by Seraphim whose foot-falls tinkled on the tufted floor.

“Wretch,” I cried, “thy God hath lent thee—by these angels he hath sent thee

Respite—respite and nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore;

Quaff, oh quaff this kind nepenthe and forget this lost Lenore!”

Quoth the Raven “Nevermore.”

He assumes the bird will leave tomorrow, and the raven appears to deny it.

Through stanzas 14 - 17 he asks the raven a series of questions (are you evil? will you help me heal? Will I see Lenore in heaven? which it answers all of them with the word "nevermore." At last, he demands the raven to leave, to which it also replied, "nevermore."

In the last stanza, the raven looks over the narrator, while the narrator dwells on his sorrow. It suggests that the narrator will never recover from his sadness.

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor

Shall be lifted—nevermore!

Answer: Plastic bottles are typically used to store liquid such as water, soft drinks, juice, milk, etc. They appear harmless. But although plastic bottles seem useful in our everyday lives, they pose a threat to the ecosystem. Humans repeatedly buy plastic bottles everyday because they are easy to drink from on the go, and fairly cheap, but we must consider the damage they have caused or may cause to the earth in the future. Not only can water bottles cause pollution, but they can harm marine life, severely. Today, you can find hundreds and thousands of water bottles on the streets and in garbage cans, landfills, and bodies of water, such as, our ocean, lakes, ponds, and streams. Many people improperly dispose of their water bottles after use. Instead of recycling, most people throw their bottles away in the regular garbage, if disposing of them at all. When plastic is dropped in the ocean, animals like turtles, fish, and birds often mistake it for food and consume it, which could very likely lead to sickness or death. Even plastic from the shore eventually gets blown into the ocean, causing the same problems over and over again. Another issue that the buildup of plastic has caused is that over time, the chemicals from the plastic will pollute the water that we drink.

In the North Pacific, an estimated 12,000 to 24,000 tons of plastic ended up being swallowed or ingested by fish each year. We need to change this, and we can! It is quite simple, changing your life style drastically will not be necessary. All you must do is buy one reusable water bottle, instead of using the disposable bottles. You can also make sure that all of your plastic goes into your recycling bin, if one is in your possession and you could make sure that you pick up any plastic bottles you see on the streets or in your home, to prevent further damage.

Which is a reason why sentences should be combined? The writing is connected. The writing is varied. The writing is too long. Th

Arisa [49]

The writing is choppy.

I believe this is the answer. If the writing was connected, sentences would already be combined. Varied writing and lengthy writing usually has nothing to do with sentence combination.
