Use the poem to answer the question.
The snow drifts into hills of white.
The imprints of his lonely plight
Lie deep beneath the fallen snow,
Lost to all but those who know
The truths that spurred this venture forth
From warmer pasts to its present course,
The words, the deeds, the thoughts untold—
The love that lost to a heart too bold.
Reflecting hues of the starless night,
The snow drifts into hills of white.
In 3-5 sentences, identify and explain at least two stylistic devices that the poet uses to add interest and meaning to the poem.

The poet uses the imagery of the snow to create a metaphor for the loneliness and isolation of the protagonist. The snow drifts and hills of white become a symbol of his feelings and experience. Additionally, the use of rhyme and repetition in the final line of the poem "The snow drifts into hills of white" adds to the musicality of the poem and reinforces the central theme of loneliness.
"Read the excerpt from ""Life on the Mississippi"" by Mark Twain.
The Mississippi is well worth reading about. It is not a commonplace river, but on the contrary is in all ways remarkable. Considering the Missouri its main branch, it is the longest river in the world—four thousand three hundred miles. It seems safe to say that it is also the crookedest river in the world, since in one part of its journey it uses up one thousand three hundred miles to cover the same ground that the crow would fly over in six hundred and seventy-five.
In 1-2 sentences, explain the denotation of the word ""remarkable"" and its connotation in this passage.

The denotation of "remarkable" in this passage is something that is worthy of attention or comment. The connotation, however, is that the Mississippi river is extraordinary and noteworthy in a positive sense.
