Answer:
And then here comes a candy striper
Explanation:
The historical detail from the prologue of A Girl Named Zippy was "And then here comes a candy striper"
A Girl Named Zippy is Kimmel's first memoir, Kimmel describes her beginnings as a baby who was always seriously ill, speechless as well as bald baby who did not speak neither nor grow hair until she was 2 years old.
She earned her nickname from her father because she would always "zip" around the house like a person who is a famous chimp on TV who could roller skate.
In "To Autumn," John Keat is using an accent, hence the "hath," "thee," "oft," and "thy." Susan Hartley Swett on the other hand isn't using a specific "accent." She is only describing July, not making any emphasis on an accent. In "To Autumn," John Keat is using an upbeat tone, vividly describing the reds and oranges or autumn, whereas in "July," Susan Hartley Swett is using a more mellow tone. As here, quoted from "July," 'Underneath petals pink till the night stars wink At the sunset in the sky, It's July.' Notice how soft her language is here. And quoted from "To Autumn," 'Steady thy laden head across a brook; Or by a cider-press, with patient look, Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours.' See his more upbeat description of this season, and his impatience as well (Thou watchest the last oozings, hours by hours). In comparison, though, both are vividly describing with extremely descriptive language and style. You can literally picture yourself in their scenarios, under the soft stars in warm July, or feeling the crispness of Autumn.
Please mark as brainiest :)
