In this excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven," what does the biblical reference to the healing “balm in Gilead” signify? "P
klio [65]
The correct answer is - <span>the speaker’s desire to cure himself from the pain caused by Lenore’s death.
</span>
The balm of Gilead is first mentioned in the Bible, as a medicinal herb used to cure ailments. When Poe mentions it in his poem "The Raven," it means that the balm is the cure for the protagonist's pain after his beloved died. He asks the raven whether he will ever be able to let go of his pain, and the raven's answer is, of course, "nevermore."

Susan B Anthony was women who didn’t just want to sit down and let men control who she was. Susan was a crusader for women’s suffrage and she wouldn’t give up without a fight. My impression of Susan B Anthony is very Good because as I said before she stood up for not only herself, but all other women who didn’t have the courage to say what they wanted to say or they were all just to scared to say it.

The Author’s presentation of Susan B Anthony is very realistic and believable in my opinion because the Author shows off Susan’s strengths, such as her way of speaking. One of Susan’s many Strengths was her Speeches, from what I read in the text, Susan had a lot on her mind and said it in a way that stirred up the crowd. The Author also shows Susan’s weakness which was mostly the law. The law was trying to keep Susan B Anthony silent as well as all other women. One way the Author shows this is when Men try to stop her at different times throughout the text, or Men seem to be looking down on her in the text.


The Author brings out more of Susan B Anthony’s personality by showing us in his writing how compassionate Susan is about her speeches, or how fair she is to everyone. Susan B Anthony was a great leader, and even though what she wanted to believe still didn’t come true, I know that she inspired all other women to start to stand up for themselves and not let anyone keep them down any longer. Susan B Anthony may not be here, but the fight for Women’s rights still continue. The flame that she has helped sit has yet to die down. Her fight will live on in history!



Note (Do not copy and paste this): What I wrote has exactly 307 words. I apologize if what I wrote is not to your liking or is not really accurate to this text you talked about. Since I really didn’t have a text or reading to go by I couldn’t really add in examples from the text but I tried my best to make it seem like that. Anyways, bye.
