HELP ASAP PLS!! How would you define poetry? Many people think of poetry as words arranged to sound beautiful and carry deep meaning, Poets use rhyme and rhythm to create interesting and appealing sound patterns, and they repeat words and phrases to add emphasis or make the poem more musical. But poetry is more than just beautiful-sounding words. Some poets use "free verse, or word arrangements with no particular pattern; others create prose poems, which are poems that are written in paragraphs instead of lines. Some poems are even written in the shape of the poem's subject, like a poem about an airplane shaped like an airplane. If you read all different kinds of poetry, you will have a much broader appreciation for the art

Which statement best summarizes tivo central ideas of the text?

A. Beautiful and songlike sounds are an important characteristic of poetry, some types of poetry do not use special patterns of sound but create meaning in different ways.

B. Many people define poetry in a way that is too limiting; to really appreciate the art, it is important to enjoy many different types of poetry

C. All good poetry needs to use rhyme, rhythm, and repetition to create beautiful sounds, poetry that does not have a strong musical element is seriously flawed.

D. Qualities like repetition and musicality can be used to enhance a poem; many poets use interesting techniques like writing airplane poems in the shape of airplanes.

"the monkey's paw" is a rare story in that the theme is actually stated in the story. sgt. maj. morris tells the whites that the old fakir who put the spell on the paw said, "fate rules people's lives and those who interfere with fate do so to their sorrow." the message is a warning, but mr. white doesn't believe it. even though sgt. maj. morris makes it clear that he tried wishing with unfortunate results and he tries to throw the paw on the fire,   mr. white makes a wish for 200 pounds only to find that he receives the money when herbert dies in a factory accident. according to the fakir, then, because mr. white had wished for something he should not have had, his son lost his life.

the second wish that mrs. white encourages him to make is for herbert's return--one week after his death. when the strange knocking begins at the door during the windy night, mr. white panicks, believing that the previously dead but still mangled herbert could have walked home from the cemetary and is now at the door. because he fears what his wife will find if she opens the door, mr. white makes his third wish--for the noise to stop.

therefore, he uses his three wishes and to his sorrow, loses his son and disappoints his wife, who fervently believed that their son was at the door. she wanted him back, regardless of his condition.
