please help its due today thank you
I disagree with your answer to #1. Since I have no idea which Whitman or Dickinson poems your questions refer to, I have no idea.
question 1 is from henry's speech to the convention and the poems are aboard at a ships helm by whitman and the moon is distant from the sea by dickinson
could question 1# be d
No, I don't think it's "d", either. Don't ask this one again. Remember an appeal to the "head" means an appeal to reason, not emotion.
Your answer to #3 seems right to me. I agree. I also agree with your answer to #2, comparing the two poems.
for question # 1 then it would make more sense c am i right?
thank you Reed for all your help
1) To determine which of the quotes from Henry's speech represents an appeal to the head, one needs to understand what an appeal to the head means. An appeal to the head is an attempt to convince someone through logical reasoning and factual evidence. Let's analyze the quotes provided:
a. "We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us into beasts." - This quote appeals more to emotion and metaphorical language rather than logical reasoning. It does not provide factual evidence.
b. "Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?" - This quote questions the necessity of Great Britain's military buildup, demanding logical reasoning and evidence to support it. It represents an appeal to the head.
c. "Our chains are forged; their clanking may be heard on the plains of Boston. The war is inevitable—and let it come." - This quote appeals more to emotion and a sense of urgency rather than logical reasoning.
d. "I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death." - This quote appeals more to emotion and personal conviction rather than logical reasoning.
Based on this analysis, the quote that represents an appeal to the head is option b, "Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies?"
2) To determine which option correctly describes both the Whitman and Dickinson poems, we need to consider their characteristics:
a. Abandoning conventional rhyme and meter - Both Whitman and Dickinson are known for breaking traditional poetic structures, so this option is a possibility.
b. Stressing the pangs of unrequited love - This description does not encompass the themes of both poets' works, so this option can be ruled out.
c. Praising the work of ordinary people - While both poets touch on various aspects of human experience, this option does not fully encapsulate their works.
d. Capturing the cadence of public speakers - This option does not align with the style and themes found in both Whitman and Dickinson's poems.
Based on this analysis, the option that correctly describes both poems would be a. Abandoning conventional rhyme and meter.
3) In the first stanza of Whitman's poem "Aboard at a Ship's Helm," the speaker describes:
a. A young sailor steering the ship - This option reflects the literal meaning of the stanza, as the speaker describes being aboard a ship and steering it. Therefore, this option could be correct.
b. A rocky shore that inevitably wrecks the ships - This description is not found in the first stanza of the poem and can be ruled out.
c. A fog-bound ship approaching a reef - This description is not found in the first stanza of the poem and can be ruled out.
d. The deceptive nature of many warnings - This description is not found in the first stanza of the poem and can be ruled out.
Given that the poem is "Aboard at a Ship's Helm" by Whitman, the correct answer would be a. A young sailor steering the ship.
Remember, these are suggestions based on the information provided, but it's always a good idea to refer to the actual texts and analyze them in detail to form your final answers.
