What inference can you make by contrasting the ideas in the first two stanzas of the poem to the last stanza?
A) The speaker is fascinated by the tempest, but glad to see it leave. B) The awful tempest is fearful at first, then saddened by the morning sun. C) The awful tempest is saddened at first, then fearful of the morning sun. D) The awful tempest rages all night long and terrifies the speaker of the poem.

Answer:

The speaker is fascinated by the tempest, but glad to see it leave.

The correct answer to the first question (what can be inferred by contrasting the ideas in the first two stanzas of the poem to the last stanza) is D) The awful tempest rages all night long and terrifies the speaker of the poem.

The first two stanzas, through adjectives like "awful" and "gaunt", expressions like "spectre's cloak" and "creatures", and verbs like "chuckled", "whistled" and "gnashed", convey that the tempest was terrifying, which can be understood by the speaker's word choice when telling the reader about it.

The last stanza shows that the storm lasted all night when the speaker says "morning lit", and, by expressing her relief and how peaceful she thought everything was after the storm had passed, the speaker intensifies the idea that it had been a terrifying storm. So, the correct answer to this question would be D.

Answer A is not correct because nothing indicates that the speaker would be fascinated by the storm, rather scared. Answer B is not correct because the tempest is not saddened by the morning sun, on the contrary, the speaker shows his relief and peace almost with happiness, which can be inferred by the presence of an exclamation mark in the last verse. Answer C is not correct because the tempest is not saddened at first, it is scary.

The correct answer to the second question (what device did Dickinson employ to create the effect in lines 1 and 2) is C) Paradox.

A paradox is a statement that seems to be contradictory in logic, that seems to not be true, but that also is not false. The speaker creates an absurd effect by using a paradox to describe the tempest when she suggests a storm with gaunt and few clouds. So, the correct answer to this question would be C.

Answer A isn't correct, the device used by Dickinson couldn't be an hyperbole because that figure of speech would cause the contrary effect; the storm would be shown like something grandiose and extremely terrifying, with an exaggerated connotation. Answer B isn't correct because there is no presence of an onomatopoeia in both lines since there is no written sound. Answer D isn't correct because the storm is not personified with human characteristics, rather the clouds are "gaunt", which is an adjective that can refer to objects.

The correct answer to the third question (why did Dickinson most likely use the phrase "black, as of a spectre's cloak" in the first stanza) is D) to create a feeling of darkness and gloom.

The black spectre's cloak mentioned is an image that describes how the gaunt and few clouds created a dark plain sky that covered the earth and the heaven, leaving everything dark and gloomy. That was the storm's appearance. Therefore, the correct answer to this question would be D.

Answer A is not correct because, although the storm could have been a dream, nothing in the poem indicates that it was; on the contrary, the description of the storm going away in the morning indicates that it wasn't a bad dream, but something real. Answer B is not correct because the black cloak mentioned doesn't transmit a sensation of coldness but of darkness. Answer C is not correct because the poem isn't comic, not even slightly, and this expression makes it even darker.

The correct answer to the last question (how does the poet convey the seriousness of the storm) is A) She uses personification to emphasize the impact of the storm.

When the poet describes the storm as a "monster" whose "faded eyes turned slowly to his native coast", she is using personification to emphasize how serious the storm was, as if it were like a monster with eyes that can turn, and with power and strength. Hence, the correct answer to this question is A.

Answer B isn't correct because neither does the poet use paradoxes in the last stanza nor does she show the storm as majestic. Answer C isn't correct because she doesn't use informal language and the storm seems to have been very serious and strong, and not the opposite. Answer D isn't correct because she doesn't show the changes that are coming through metaphors, the poet actually shows only the peaceful feeling that was left when the storm was gone.

The Lunchroom Murder
QUESTION TO ANSWER : Which set of footprints are Ernie’s? What is the evidence?

On an otherwise uneventful Thursday afternoon police heard a shot inside the local bistro, Ernie’s Lunchroom. They rushed in and found the scene shown in Figure 1.4.
They identified the body as that of a prominent racketeer named Fannin. Ernie, who is both the owner and only employee, had only one fact to tell: the murderer had leaned against the wall while firing at point-blank range. The imprint of his hand is in clear view.
The police have also noticed that the cash register had just been rung up at $8.75.
This is a difficult case. Your investigative team must attempt to determine which of the people in the lunchroom killed Fannin. You will have to observe the details carefully. There is enough evidence to help you explain most of what happened. In working out the solution, consider the questions on the following page.

What do you think?

Bullet
It’s hard to dodge a bullet
Before the trigger is pulled
You can’t run away from it
No matter how good
Once its shot
Your going to fall down
Going to get caught
Next thing you know
Your on the ground
With the crowd running around
The bullet had got you
And shots are being heard
There’s nothing you can do
All but say a word
You need to escape
But with every breath you take
Burns your lungs
Burns your body
The guns start to show
D.ead people are being emboded
But you have to stay down low
Pretend your d.ead
So they’ll leave you instead
Crawl away
Slowly
Or just stay
Since they are unholy
Once they leave
Crawl out of there at once
But please don’t be naive
For they can still be on the hunt
The bullet is piercing you
And all you can do
Is call the hospital
And put a popsicle
On your injury
Make it numb
Make it du.mb
Stop the bleeding
Before your time runs away fleeting
And you stop breathing
It’s hard to dodge a bullet
To bad you didn’t do it

my topic is: should poetry be taught more in school?
(intro must include a hook, background info, and a thesis)

Think into the past during your English classes while you were learning poetry. Were the lessons for poetry in-depth? Did they make you think? Or were they just simple things like reading and writing a few poems and answering some questions on famous poems. Lessons about poetry always seem so short and brief. It never feels like kids are being taught in-depth poetry. It’s always just the basics like some of the types of poetry written or why poetry is important. Teachers don’t usually teach the emotional connection poetry has so when kids get up into high school English, they struggle when learning poetry. Some English teachers in high school expect emotional connections to the poems or in-depth poems but since kids aren't taught how to do that throughout Elementary and Middle school, they struggle and can’t do it. Poetry should be taught more in school because there are so many things that poetry does for us, such as helping express emotions and feelings, strengthens overall mental health, and it’s even therapeutic for the writer and reader.
