I am one of many
Small branches of a broken tree
Always looking to the ones above
For guidance, strength and security.
One little branch trying
To keep the others from breaking away
Who will fall?
And who will stay?
Now I stand alone
Looking at the earth through the rain
And I see the broken branches I knew
Scattered about me in pain.
There are those who have taken an axe
To the root of our very foundation
And who have passed this destruction
Down to every new generation.
If I could take that axe
I would toss it deep into the sea
Never to return again
To harm the generations that follow me.
I am one of many
But alone I will go
And plant the new seeds
Where a beautiful tree will grow.

Obviously the tree is a metaphor for something.

Paragraph 1: Describe some ways the tree is used as a metaphor
Paragraph 2: Provide your interpretation of the meaning of the poem.

How does the narrator’s hearing affect the story?

Answers

Answer:

A narrator's hearing affect's the story because it changes the way the story is viewed. If a narrator does not like something, does not care about something, or is over-enthusiastic over a certain topic, this may change the mood of the story drastically, whereas a non-biased narrator makes the story easier to understand, and questions are less likely to be asked. Narrators often announce their point of view on a situation, and do not describe it as it may be viewed by another person.

Paragraph 1 -
“Along the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in Dorchester County, in Caroline County, the masters kept hearing whispers about the man named Moses, who was running off slaves. At first they did not believe in his existence. The stories about him was so fantastic, unbelievable. Yet they watched for him. They offered rewards for his capture.”

Paragraph 12-
“But there were so many of them this time. She knew moments of doubt when she was half afraid, and kept looking back over her shoulder, imagining that she heard the sound of pursuit. They would certainly be pursued. Eleven of them. Eleven thousand dollars’ worth of flesh and bone and muscle that belong to the Maryland planters. If they were caught, the eleven runaways would be whipped and sold South, but she— she will be probably be hanged.”

Paragraph 17-
“ she turned away from the house, frowning. She had promised her passengers food and rest and warmth, and instead of that, there would be hunger and cold and more walking over the frozen ground. Somehow she would have to instill courage into these eleven people, most of them strangers, would have to feed them on hope and bright dreams of freedom instead of the fried pork and corn bread and milk she had promised them.”

1. In Stanza 7, "gun" and "boots" symbolise the author's job.

2. The rhyme scheme in Stanza 8 is ABACDCDC.

3. The author uses complete rhymes in Stanza 9. The words are "day" and "OK".

4. Stanza 10 is meant to give reassurance to the author's family. The mood of this stanza is subtle and calm.

5. Stanza 11 is a repeat of Stanzas 4 & 8. In poetry, this is called a refrain.

Explanation:

1. By following in someone's shoes, it can be inferred that the author might have followed after his father's job or legacy.

2. "down" rhymes with "town". "soul" rhymes with "go". "go" rhymes with "home". The rest do not rhyme so I just put a different alphabet.

3. Complete rhymes have the same final consonants sounds while partial rhymes don't. The ending consonants, in this case, were the "ay" sound. You can try reading it out loud to hear the rhyme :)

4. "Just remember this" shows that the author wants their parents to not worry about anything else except that he is in "a better place". "I'm in a better place" suggests that the author is reporting that he is in a better environment and "peace" and "Amazing Grace" also meant that he is reassuring his parents about himself.

5. A refrain is a line, phrase or group of lines that are repeated throughout the poem to show emphasis.

Answers

A. Respectfully judgemental

Respectfully judgmental words best describe Sullivan's overall tone toward Faulkner.

What is Respect?

Respect, sometimes known as esteem, is a kind of behavior or attitude toward someone or something that is important or is held in high regard. It expresses admiration for admirable or valued traits.

Respect implies accepting someone for who they are, even if they are different from you or have different opinions than you. Respect enhances feelings of safety, security, and well-being in your interactions. Respect is something you can learn; it doesn't have to come naturally.

The phrase "judgmental" is used negatively to characterize someone who frequently jumps to conclusions without good justification. Someone who creates numerous opinions about numerous people, typically harsh or critical ones, is described by the word judgemental. People with a judgmental nature are neither flexible nor laid back.

Therefore, Thus option (A) is correct.

Thou therefore take my brand Excalibur,
Which was my pride: for thou rememberest how
In those old days, one summer noon, an arm
Rose up from out the bosom of the lake,
Clothed in white samite, mystic, wonderful,
Holding the sword—­and how I row’d across
And took it, and have worn it, like a king:
And, wheresoever I am sung or told
In aftertime, this also shall be known
–"Morte d’Arthur,”
Alfred, Lord Tennyson

6. time itself and the way it is constantly  "washing" away the days  of our lives.

7. individual

8. external rhyme

Explanation:

1. When in his poem "Annabel Lee" Edgar Allen Poe writes "the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee", he is using the literary technique of  personification.

This is so because an object that is not human is portrayed as though it was human.

2. The Latin title that the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge chose for his poem, "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" translated to English means apology for my life/lifestyle.  

3. In the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth uses personification when he says the daffodil flowers are like a "company" of friends that he feels he is spending time with.

4. The Romantic artistic movement placed great value on the experience of the world as a valid, meaningful point-of-view which to record in artistic works.  

5. "When I was shown the charts  and diagrams, to add,  divide, and measure them.." is an example of the anaphora technique from Walt Whitman's poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak".

This is true because the anaphora technique involves the use of repetition of a particular phrase or word in a sentence in other to point the author's viewpoint.

6. In the metaphor that Edgar Allen Poe creates for his poem "A Dream Within a Dream" the shore stands for life itself and the surf hitting the shore and the grains of sand it is constantly washing away stand for time itself and the way it is constantly  "washing" away the days  of our lives.

7. When Samuel Taylor Coleridge says that he believes that the poet can see "phantoms of sublimity" that perhaps others don't see when he uses his imagination to look within himself, this is an example of the Romantics emphasis upon the existence and importance of the individual.

8. Walt Whitman carefully crafts the external rhyme in each of the stanzas of his poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak" to show us that for him it is not the scientific, rational understanding but the natural, direct experience of nature that is "perfect".
