Answer and Explanation:

In "Easter 1916" we can see figurative language through the use of metaphors. The author makes a strong use of metaphor when comparing stones to revolutionaries, intensifying the idea that just like stones, revolutionaries are immobile and therefore will remain constant and strong even if time passes. As we know, metaphor is a figure of speech that allows a non-implicit comparison between two elements. This metaphor is important in this poem, because the poem presents the moment when the Irish protested against England, in the second world war. By comparing Protestants with stones, the poet shows how they would not change their minds about England no matter what.

"The seconds coming" is a poem where Yeast shows the second coming of Jesus Christ to dominate the earth. Although the poem is different from "Easter 1916" it also presents metaphor as a figurative language. This metaphor is seen with the comparison between falcon and the falconer, reinforcing the idea that humans are controlled by something great. The metaphor can be seen again, when the poet compares the second coming of Jesus Christ with a "rough beast," showing that this will be a grandiose, yet frightening event. However, this poem also has a strong irony, which is not seen in "Easter 1916". The irony is seen in the phrase "the best lack all conviction, while the worst / Are full of passionate intensity" because it ironic religious concepts about how Jesus agrated in relation to the most beloved humans.

Explain Breath in 100 words
mel-nik [20]
Breathing is the process of moving air into and out of the lungs to facilitate gas exchange with the internal environment, mostly to bring in oxygen and flush out carbon dioxide. The process of respiration, during which air is inhaled into the lungs through the mouth or nose due to muscle contraction and then exhaled due to muscle relaxation. Breathing, or "external respiration", brings air into the lungs where gas exchange takes place in the alveoli through diffusion. The body's circulatory system transports these gases to and from the cells, where "cellular respiration" takes place. The breathing of all vertebrates with lungs consists of repetitive cycles of inhalation and exhalation through a highly branched system of tubes or airways which lead from the nose to the alveoli.The number of respiratory cycles per minute is the breathing or respiratory rate, and is one of the four primary vital signs of life.

What does say i can or i cant and your right either way mean ?
Margaret [11]
I think this is coming from the Henry Ford quote, which is "Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right."

This quote basically means that what you think you can do is all in your mind and how you perceive yourself.  if you think you can do something, then you'll be able to do it.  If you think you can't do something, then you won't be able to, because you have already given up in your mind.

Does that make sense?
