Answer:

4.The jar was gray and bare.

5.It did not give of bird or bush,

Explanation:

Impersonality and objectivity seem to be crucial in modernist culture.  The idea of emptiness can be clearly seen on those two lines since being "gray and bare" means something is boring and forgettable. The idea of barrenness can be seen in not giving bird or bush. The ground had nothing on it or for it.

Why do you think suspenseful stories continue to be popular today? Consider the effect of suspense on readers.
sesenic [268]

They speak to our irrational side.  They free our imagination and make us childlike.  They allow emotion to triumph over reason.  They remind us of the problem of evil.  They take us out of the safe, everyday world.  They stir our curiosity and excite us.  They cause an adrenaline rush.  They make us imagine the most dire ending.

In what way does Mirikitani’s “Attack the Water” compare to Muriel Ruckeyser’s “Poem”?
Amanda [17]
Mirikitani's "Attack the Water" relates to Rukeyser's "Poem" because they both focus on what civilians experience during wartime. "Attack the Water" describes the struggle of Vietnamese people living during (and after) the Vietnam War, and of Japanese-Americans in the era of Japanese Labor camps. "Poem" reflects on the struggle of people living during both of the World Wars, trying to get by and to get through such a tragic time. Both of these poems show that even when people are not involved directly in a war, war can still have an immense impact on their lives.
