Answer 1

The Old Swimmin’ Hole" by James Whitcomb Riley

OH! the old swimmin’–hole! whare the crick so still and deep
Looked like a baby-river that was laying half asleep,
And the gurgle of the worter round the drift jest below
Sounded like the laugh of something we onc't ust to know
Before we could remember anything but the eyes
Of the angels lookin' out as we left Paradise;
But the merry days of youth is beyond our controle,
And it's hard to part ferever with the old swimmin'–hole.

Oh! the old swimmin'–hole! In the happy days of yore,
When I ust to lean above it on the old sickamore,
Oh! it showed me a face in its warm sunny tide
That gazed back at me so gay and glorified,
It made me love myself, as I leaped to caress
My shadder smilin' up at me with sich tenderness.
But them days is past and gone, and old Time's tuck his toll
From the old man come back to the old swimmin'–hole.

Oh! the old swimmin'–hole! In the long, lazy-days
When the humdrum of school made so many run-a-ways,
How plesant was the jurney down the old dusty lane,
Whare the tracks of our bare feet was all printed so plane
You could tell by the dent of the heel and the sole
They was lots o'fun on hands at the old swimmin'–hole.
But the lost joys is past! Let your tears in sorrow roll
Like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin'–hole.

There the bullrushes growed, and the cattails so tall,
And the sunshine and shadder fell over it all;
And it mottled the worter with amber and gold
Tel the glad lilies rocked in the ripples that rolled;
And the snake-feeder's four gauzy wings fluttered by
Like the ghost of a daisy dropped out of the sky,
Or a wounded apple-blossom in the breeze's controle
As it cut acrost some orchurd to'rds the old swimmin'–hole.

Oh! the old swimmin'—hole! When I last saw the place,
The scene was all changed, like the change in my face;
The bridge of the railroad now crosses the spot
Whare the old divin'–log lays sunk and fergot.
And I stray down the banks whare the trees ust to be –
But never again will theyr shade shelter me!
And I wish in my sorrow I could strip to the soul,
And dive off in my grave like the old swimmin'–hole.

The swimming hole has changed over time. Which three of these lines from the poem best illustrate that change?

Answer 3

The swimming hole has changed over time. Which three of these lines from the poem best illustrate that change?

So we basically just need to find a section that talks about change

Answer 4

So are we to find one sentence each of these:

Type A, B, or C for Blank 1.

How plesant was the jurney down the old dusty lane,
Whare the tracks of our bare feet was all printed so plane
But the lost joys is past! Let your tears in sorrow roll
Like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin’–hole
When I ust to lean above it on the old sickamore,
Oh! it showed me a face in its warm sunny tide

Type E, F, or G for Blank 2.
It made me love myself, as I leaped to caress
My shadder smilin' up at me with sich tenderness.
And it mottled the worter with amber and gold
Tel the glad lilies rocked in the ripples that rolled;
And I stray down the banks whare the trees ust to be –
But never again will theyr shade shelter me!

Type H, I, or J for Blank 3.
And the sunshine and shadder fell over it all;
And it mottled the worter with amber and gold
There the bullrushes growed, and the cattails so tall,
And the sunshine and shadder fell over it all;
The bridge of the railroad now crosses the spot
Whare the old divin'-log lays sunk and fergot.

I am unsure, as I find the formatting of this question very confusing xD

Answer 5

for blank 1: But the lost joys is past! Let your tears in sorrow roll
Like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin’–hole?

Answer 6

But anyway, since this question is about change, I would suggest you look for sentences in which it directly says that a change has occurred or places where it indirectly says it. Like, see when they use past and present tenses, and how they talk of the past and how it is currently different(in the present), as this is a change

Answer 7

The problem right now for me is that I'm not sure how these answers are to be inputted. Like, it's asking for you to type in A, B or C for the first section. Are certain sentences tied to these letters?

Answer 8

yes

Answer 9

Btw, there are an incredible amount of spelling errors in these paragraphs...are they intended to be this way or.....?

Answer 10

i have no idea now for blank 1 is it But the lost joys is past! Let your tears in sorrow roll
Like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin’–hole?

Answer 11

How plesant was the jurney down the old dusty lane, > Section
Whare the tracks of our bare feet was all printed so plane > A?

But the lost joys is past! Let your tears in sorrow roll > Section
Like the rain that ust to dapple up the old swimmin’–hole > B?

When I ust to lean above it on the old sickamore, > Section
Oh! it showed me a face in its warm sunny tide > C?

In here, they misspell pleasant, journey, where, use, (swimmin is slang, which is excusable as this is obviously talking of the past in which this slang was used often), use was misspelled again ;P

Answer 12

But are those sections correct?

Answer 13

YESSSS!!!!!!!! OMG!

Answer 14

NOW IS IT SECTION B OR NOT?! I DONT HAVE ALL DAY. I DONT CARE ABOUT WHAT THEY MISPELLED

Answer 15

Go with B, if that's what you truly believe the answer to be

Answer 16

ummm wat r u here for? arent u supposed to help let me know if my anser is correct or not? its the whole idea of asking the question and having it checked..

Answer 17

In my opinion, there seems to be change in section B as it says there used to be rain that filled up the swimming hole, but "used to" is past tense, so this sentence says that the rain basically doesn't fill up the swimming hole anymore. Therefore, there is a change

Answer 18

Btw, your attitude is horrible. If you want my help, you could be less venomous

Answer 19

cuz ive been trying to get an answer with u for the past 2 hours! and al you've said was oh there's an awful lot of mispelling in here.. im here to ANSWER THE HW and not to argue about how things are mispelled NOT MY FAULT.

Answer 20

Type E, F, or G for Blank 2.
It made me love myself, as I leaped to caress
My shadder smilin' up at me with sich tenderness.
And it mottled the worter with amber and gold
Tel the glad lilies rocked in the ripples that rolled;
And I stray down the banks whare the trees ust to be –
But never again will theyr shade shelter me!

Look for past and present tense.

Hint: Use

I'm tired of your attitude, good luck with your hw
