@Secret-Ninja @Compassionate

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I would agree with B. It makes the most sense. Good job you guys. :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Michahm I have 4 more questions are you willing to help?

OpenStudy (micahm):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

To me the theme is death

OpenStudy (micahm):

illiam Cullen Bryant's poem “Thanatopsis” is considered to be the best of a number of ... The first section (lines 1-30) provides the philosophical background, ... this passage as indicating that Bryant was not writing a Christian poem

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I agree with death. Its called Thanatopsis, and in Greek, the god of death is Thanatos. He is considered death itself.

OpenStudy (micahm):

i agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I definetly think "lies down to pleasant dreams" represents death

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

That too. :)

OpenStudy (micahm):

agree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's hard though bc all of the line they picked represent the theme

OpenStudy (anonymous):

except "Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is what I've highlighted

OpenStudy (micahm):

ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you think that's okay?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Yep. :]

OpenStudy (micahm):

yelp

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

A blank verse is a verse without rhyme, especially one that uses iambic pentameter.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

That kind of gives off the answer XD

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So I'd go with B, It is in iambic pentameter and doesn't rhyme.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Right. :]

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Sepulcher- a small room or monument, cut in rock or built of stone, in which a dead person is laid or buried. Musings- a period of reflection or thought. Mirth- amusement, especially as expressed in laughter. Communion- the sharing or exchanging of intimate thoughts and feelings, especially when the exchange is on a mental or spiritual level.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Those are the definitions of each word. Now you just have to match them :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Ahhh you guys are lifesavers, one more question!

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

1. Burial place or burial chamber. 2. Reflection or thought. 3. Amusement or merriment. 4. Close relationship with someone or something.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Is it D?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Some of it makes me think of country, because this is not taking place i a city. "mix forever with the element" made me think that.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

I think it might be C.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got 3/5 right:( I needed 4

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

D: Sorry.

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Was C incorrect though?

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Or was it right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It doesn't tell me what I got right or wrong only if I passed

OpenStudy (secret-ninja):

Oh okay.
