Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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

Answer 3

could question 1# be d

Answer 4

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.

Answer 5

for question # 1 then it would make more sense c am i right?

Answer 6
