2. poe opens the third stanza through the use of a most ingenious poetic style:
"and the silken sad uncertain "
each of these last four words contain a clear "s" sound; and, when the four words
are read in order, it produces what metaphorical sound? (teks 3)
a. thunderous roar of the heavens
b. piercing sound of mating birds
c. shrill of wild beasts
d. mournful, eerie sound like the blowing of the wind

- "the answers are a and b.  

when cullen speaks of planting while others reap, and standing "abject and mute," he is speaking about the racial injustices present in american society. as these injustices have changed over time, the american identity  has also shifted. those changes are, in turn, reflected in american literature."

the correct answer is d. in john paston's letter written friday, 14, 1476, he expresses his fear that he may have to go to war.

indeed, although the black death was ravaging europe, the pastons were relatively safe from it due to their social status as they were part of the landed gentry. it is clear that the vast majority of the victims of the pandemic were the poor. the reason why he is weary of having to go to war is because at the particular time england was also devastated by the war of the roses and paston, being a courtesan was inevitably involved.
