Which of these thesis statements BEST answers the prompt?

Prompt: In the following poem by Ralph Waldo Emerson (published in 1867), the speaker reflects on the process of growing older. Read the poem carefully. Then, in a well-written essay, analyze how Emerson uses poetic elements and techniques to convey the speaker’s complex perspective on aging.

• Imagery exposes Emerson's complex perspective on aging, to the point that being able to see, hear, and touch such things as "fire" has a view of on aging that all readers can learn. As seen through imagery, one can tell that the perspective is not clear cut but a mix of fear and acceptance.

• In the poem, "Terminus", Emerson uses poetic elements and techniques to convey his complex perspective on aging which is held together throughout the poem using poetic elements that help guide the reader to the narrator's perspective on aging and life as a whole.

• In his poem, "Terminus", Emerson reflects on the process of growing older since getting older is a depressing time in one's life even to the point of seeing how complex life can be when aging no matter how smooth or difficult the journey may be for some.

• Throughout his poem, “Terminus”, Emerson coveys his perspective that aging is a time to settle down through an extended metaphor, similes, metaphors, diction, imagery and personification. Through these poetic elements Emerson explores the idea that aging is a calm time at the end of a chaotic life.

Which sentence is the BEST example of Commentary?

Topic sentence: Allowing the imagination of the unknown overcome reason drives characters to unreasonable actions.

• As a result, it said in the story it was when they ran out of the house that the house was taken over by some unknown thing like fear.

• This proves the character said to leave before it was too late since he was scared, letting fear overcome his reasoning.

• As a result, the unknown thing taking over the house is their own fear, not any object or thing, since fear is personified and made real by their imagination.

• This shows that when the character closed the door, the only way to escape was to leave the house, fearing any other action or choice.
