7th grade would be middle school
Answer: The answer is below.
Comparing:
Both of the themes from these excerpts are about how you can be able to learn despite differences in yourself from others.
Contrasting:
The theme of <em>The Story of My Life</em> by Helen Keller is that you are able to do anything you put your mind to, even if you are physically impaired in some way.
The main theme in the excerpt of <em>The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass</em>, is that you can learn how to do things even if you are of a different ethnic background.
In other words, the main character in the story are different in different ways (one is blind, the other was of a different ethnicity)
In poetry, 'free verse' is an open form of poetry, so there are no rhyming schemes, you can write whichever rhyme you want, and the meter (the accents and the number of syllables) is also random.
A 'haiku' is a short Japanese poem, consisting of 3 lines, where the first and last lines have 5 syllables, and the middle line 7.
All of the above because,
-Characters are the individuals that the story is about.
-Setting is the location of the action.
-Plot is the actual story on which the book is based on.
-Every story has a conflict to solve.
-The solution to the problem is the way the action is resolved.
