Comparing Types of Description
1) In "The Road Not Taken," the description of the wood as yellow
:Tells us the wood is very young, not yet full grown.
:Makes the setting seem churchlike.
:Tells us the scene is taking place in noon.
:Helps us see the scene as autumnal.***
2) In "O Captain! My Captain!" what is the underlying meaning of this line?
The port is near, the bells I hear, the people all exulting,
:Many Americans will greet the ship and pay their respects to President Lincoln.
:The goal of keeping America one country is within reach, and people are joyous.***
:I am glad to be approaching victory and returning to my church and my people.
:We're are not quite home yet. We still have to quell riots.
3) In What ways is the use of descriptive language in the two poems similar?
The poems are "The Road Not Taken", and "O Captain! My Captain!"
:Both use analogies to represent decisions the speakers make.
:Both use sorrowful images to communicate regret.
:Both use literal descriptions as symbols for deeper ideas.***
:Both use figurative language to describe someone the speaker admired
4) How are the speakers in the two poems different?
:One is celebrating a decision he made, while the other regrets a choice.
:One is contemplating a past choice, while the other is mourning something out of his control.***
:One regrets a past decision, while the other is celebrating an accomplishment of a loved one.
:One wishes he had more control over his life, while the other is willing to leave things to chance.

I just got a 100%
My apologies for your contempt for this kind of cheating Ms. Sue, however, what I do not believe you understand is that we as a whole do not have the time nor the patience to answer questions aimlessly, ones that may or may not have any influence on our future. Poems are for poets, not for technicians. Math is for accountants, bakers, cashiers, etc. But even then, they don't use their own brains except for when needed. I understand you may have gone to school and never cheated a once, but please do understand that we (the students of today) are uninterested in mundane activities that lack importance or enjoyment. Most of us come to school to graduate, not to participate. So, with that being said, please do not look down on the children that participate in cheating. We only found an alternative.
(no disrespect intended for any of the words said.)
