D. Mrs. Van Daan is jealous.
Before ______, then _____happened
Answer:
Phillis Wheatley choose to write like this because:
1. Poems written in iambic pentameter expresses decorum and grandeur of the language.
2. Each couplet expresses a complete thought.
3. There is an "explosion" good rhyming couplets bring. It brings both the rhyme and the idea into a quick close in two lines.
Explanation:
Some of the benefits are:
1. This form of writing enabled Wheatley to purposefully advocate her freedom.
2. It was a tool to deliver safely on the subject matter for a slave poet in a dominantly white society.
3. Wheatley utilizes satire to force an acknowledgement of equality in the eyes of God by her keepers.
4. It makes poems and poets become serious and seriously accepted by readers.
The one disadvantage I discovered is that it seems somehow cumbersome to understand by laymen.
The last sentence makes sense because it is most unlike the others. The second to last makes sense as well because of the word “hoped” but it is still similar to the first 2. I would pick the last sentence.
For few people around the world, but sadly not the majority of anywhere.
