The word that best describes the tone in this stanza is: happy.
This stanza was taken from the poem I Hear America Singing, by Walt Whitman. It's a poem of patriotism, of pride of each and every person who helps build America and make it what it is. Everyone is important: the carpenters, the mechanics, the masons, the mothers, the wives. All of them sing their melodious songs of freedom and opportunity.
I justed asked this same question, and I was told by my teacher that you would cite the source in parentheses right afterwards. For example, if you wanted to cite a famous quote from a book... *example below*
"I'm on a roller coaster that only goes up, my friend." (Chater 1, page 67)
^^ That would be how you would cite a famous quote from a book. The same thing happens when you want to cite a phrase from an article, or a movie. Depending on what you are citing from, the way you write the citation varies. I hope this helps! :) Let me know if you need anything else! I'd be more than happy to help you out! :)
Answer:
I do not think giving away prizes for doing good in school are fair to students. There are many students that could be driven by getting a prize for doing well in school, but there would still be many students that wouldn't care about the prizes and still put in the same amount of effort, that they were putting into their school work before. So with this the kids that would be putting in a lot of effort would be getting more prizes, than the kids that aren't putting in as much effort. When the kids that are putting in effort getting prizes, more and more kids would get less motivated because there could me one or two kids that keep on winning the prizes, so the kids would loose motivation because of this. This is why I think that giving prizes to kids at school for their hard work is unfair.
