migratory movements of peoples have been called drifts, and the word is apposite. Retreating before stronger breeds, hungry and voracious, the Eskimo has drifted to the inhospitable polar regions.

How is the experience of listening to the poem "How Do I Love Thee" being read aloud different from the experience of reading it
Troyanec [42]

Answer:

Told and Telling

Explanation:

The poem is a romantic tale of a lover expressing her love for the beloved who dwells in her memory and keeps her heart burning for the unending love. Listening to this poem out loud, one gets the feeling to be the beloved for whom these beautiful words came together to express the love.  While reading the poem in silent, one feels as if he/she is the writer and composer of such words remembering the beloved.

Thus, the difference is of telling, when reading the poem alone, and being told, when one hears it from someone else.

3. Why did Ichabod come to Tarry Town initially, and what did Ichabod find he
Alik [6]

A worthy wight by the name of Ichabod Crane lived in this by-place of nature in a remote period of American history, that is to say, some thirty years ago, for the purpose of instructing the children of the vicinity.

What became of Ichabod at the conclusion of the story?

When Ichabod is pursued, Brom becomes his only hope of escaping the Hessian Rider. But we soon learn that Brom was mistaken about the bridge's protective qualities, as Ichabod makes it across to presumed safety only to be beheaded by the Horseman, who "pass[es] by like a whirlwind."

The origin of the village's name is unknown: one theory holds that it is derived from the Dutch word for wheat, which farmers brought to town, while another claims that it is named after John Tarry, an early Long Island settler.

Therefore, Ichabod soon discovered that they desired the lovely Katrina and everything she entailed after he came to Tarry town.
