<span>#1) How do Niemöller's words in "First they came for..." repeat the theme developed in "I Sit and Look Out" by Walt Whitman?
Answer: After carefully reading both of the excerpts that are presented above I believe that the words of Niemoller in “First they came for…” repeat the theme developed in “I Sit and Look Out” by Walt Whitman conveying his own view on how even the person who just remains silent while also seeing the injustice that is happening right in front of him can be the most cruel of all. He makes it clear when at the end of the poem-- “Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

Answer:
- The phrase "art history professor" should be set of with commas
Explanation:
the subject in this sentence is "Valentine's mother" "an art history professor just renames the or further describes the subject, ("an art history professor" is talking about "Valentine's mother") therefore it should be separated with commas.
I hope this helps you :)
In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.
Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").
The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.
Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."
