I believe that this means that even though they know that they're eventually going to die, they don't want to until they have done something that's impacted the world in a big way, causing them to fight against death.

They will try to delay their death, because their works that they had done in this world had not impacted the world in a big way. Therefore, they will stay here until they do something great that cause "lightning".

Which lines from "Poetry" best indicate that the poet believes that poetry should express authentic thoughts, feelings, and idea
k0ka [10]

Answer:

“imaginary gardens with real toads in them,”“literalists of

the imagination”, "When they become so derivative as to become  unintelligible", to discriminate against “business documents and  school-books”

Explanation:

This verse is one poetic picture where we can imagine a beautiful garden with flowers and trees and among them toads. There is a metaphoric picture where we can see the opposition between what we imagine when we read the garden and what the writer wrote in this verse. Authentic thought is to put something which people connected with ugly and not to put with something beautiful. The writer shows us how to be innovative and also tell people who criticized his poetry that he is full of imagination and new ideas.

Also one of the ideas in this poem is that poets can be a prisoner of imagination(“literalists of the imagination”)  which means that they can not always write about the imagination, they should include in their poetry reality. They should try to write verses and rewrite verses if is necessary, not just to rhyme verses.

The poetry should express authentic ideas which are explained in verse "When they become so derivative as to become unintelligible". He criticized poets who want to show all the beauty of their poetry and all their skills so their verses are unintelligible.

The poetry can not express feelings when business documents and school books are the subjects. There are important for life, and poetry is here to explains and evokes life.

<span>#1) Which pair of lines from the passage contains a change in intonation?

Answer: After carefully reading the passage from “Mother to Son” by Langston Hughes I came to the conclusion that the pair of lines from this passage that contains a change in intonations is the following: But all the time / I’se been a-climbin’ on. This intonations can help us distinguish the meaning. It is all focused on the pitch and stress going up and down.
