Answer:

In "O Captain My Captain" by Whitman, The extended metaphor of the poem compares President Lincoln to a captain steering the "ship of state" which means guiding the union through the civil war.

Explanation:

An extended metaphor means; A metaphor that unfolds across multiple lines or paragraphs of a text, making use of multiple interrelated metaphors in an overarching one. The "captain' of the title however, becomes less essential to the progressive success and unity of the nation as it seemed in the beginning. because at first the "captain" (President Lincoln) is seen as entirely responsible for the safe return of the ship home.

But, the citizens continue to rejoice after their captain has fallen, they did not let the grief of the assassination on the president stop them from continuing their celebration as well as moving on with their lives.

Answer: The difference between accent and dialect

Explanation:

Dialect points to its own inguage, as if it were a language within another, a branch of a particular language. Example: English Language; It differs from the form spoken by people of different social classes, it is the same language, but it is possible that the "slang" spoken by certain groups make it impossible or difficult to understand what is being said.

The accent is the "musical" form of the language. The Portuguese language, for example, is "sung" in different ways by speakers from different regions of the country. People from North and Northeast Brazil have a slower speaking rate, while people from the Midwest speak faster.
