From the second and third stanza you can infer that the speaker believes that

saving the ship from destruction is patriotic

Old Ironsides deserves to live at the shore

a museum is the correct place for the boat

eagles that fly near the sea are a nuisance

The meter in both poems conveys/reflects/echoes Holmes's message because

stressed words highlight important ideas

unstressed syllables create a vague pattern

a repetitive metrical pattern stresses change

iambs represent life's natural flow

The speaker in “Thanatopsis” says that when you are happy, nature

smiles and speaks the potent words of beauty

The speaker says that when you are worried about death you should

go outside and listen to nature's lesson

stay at home and make a list of things to accomplish

pray in the woods for an easy death

visit the graves of family members

Why does the speaker believe that people who die could not want a "Couch more magnificent"?

The earth holds good people and kings.

Death drives a beautiful horse-drawn carriage

They have the whole earth to themselves.

The earth is getting more beautiful.

Which of the following does the speaker want you to understand after reading this sentence: "Take the wings Of morning, pierce the Barcan wilderness, Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregon, and hears no sound, Save his own dashings,—yet the dead are there: And millions in those solitudes, since first The flight of years began, have laid them down In their last sleep—the dead reign there alone."

Despite how alone you think you are, the dead are there.

Going to the woods is not a good way to be alone with your thoughts.

Few people have ever died in the woods of Washington and Oregon.

People sometimes go out to the woods to die in solitude.

16. Why does Bryant most likely use blank verse in lines 58-61 [" So shalt thou rest; and what if thou withdraw In silence from the living, and no friend Take note of thy departure? All that breathe Will share thy destiny. "]?

The sound of natural speech reinforces the truth that everyone shares the same destiny.

The iambic pentameter details the effects of death on other people.

The continuation of sentences on more than one line shows that people will not forget you.

The structure emphasizes the sadness of a lonely death without friends.

Bryant most likely lists different kinds of people at the end of the second stanza to

highlight the inevitability of death

make you think about your family

explain why death will be happy

stress the importance of families

Reread lines 77-79: " Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but, sustained and soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave " The enjambment in these lines highlights the idea that "sustained and soothed by unfaltering trust" most likely means that

hope will ease the transitions of life

people who die have pleasant dreams

those in the caravan soothe each other

those who fear death approach it sadly

You know that aspects of death are still unknown to the speaker because he or she

admits that the afterlife is a mysterious land

wishes to know a dead person's dreams

knows little about the origin of the universe

wonders what happens to dead bodies

As you remember from your "Says/Does" analysis, Bryant breaks for a third stanza after line 72. He most likely structured the poem this way because the

third stanza combines the messages of the first two stanzas and gives final directions

other stanzas are about different things than the third stanza

second stanza contrasts with the third stanza to explain the first stanza

final stanza draws attention to the idea that there are three stages of life

Longfellow may use the rhyme scheme in the fifth stanza of "A Psalm of Life" to help you remember that you should

engage in life instead of watch it go by

always be aware of nearby battles

know that you are going to die soon

watch after only yourself while living

Check your notes from the sixth stanza of "A Psalm of Life." What two things does the speaker say you need to live life fully?

the Donald Trumps and the Barack Obamas

In the traditional poem "A Psalm of Life," Longfellow most likely uses end rhyme in stanza eight to

emphasize the connection of all people

mimic the rhythm of a person walking

hide the gloomy meaning of the poem

reinforce the ocean's power over people

What is the basic meaning of the first stanza of "The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls"?

The tide rises and falls and the birds sing as the traveler goes toward town.

The tide rises and falls as the birds sing in the trees near the ocean.

The traveler moves into the ocean as the water gets higher and higher.

The birds are singing the traveler to sleep on his way to a seaside town.

The lines "Darkness settles on roofs and walls, But the sea, the sea in the darkness calls; " in "The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls" most likely highlight Longfellow's view that

time passes without concern for humans

homes covered in darkness are like the ocean

nature will always be a source of hope

life will one day stop in the sea

What does the repetitive rhyme scheme emphasize in "The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls"?

the everlasting quality of nature

travelers always do the same things over and over

the importance of living near oceans

the ocean's waves over footprints

How are the traveler and the hostler in "The Tide Rises, the Tide Falls" different?

The hostler interacts with nature and the traveler passes by nature.

The hostler is happy in the morning and the traveler is sad.

The traveler wants to return to the hostler but the hostler ignores the traveler.

The traveler will never return but the hostler will always be there.

The two poems by Longfellow are different because

one depicts nature as caring and the other depicts nature as indifferent to human life

one uses the sea to highlight nature and the other uses horses

one depicts nature as everlasting and the other shows that nature is finite

one explains how to overcome nature and the other shows humans submitting to nature
