Robert Hayden was born on August 4, 1913 and died on February 25, 1980. He was an American poet, essayist, and educator. He served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1976 to 1978, a role today known as US Poet Laureate. He was the first African-American writer to hold the office.
Robert Hayden was born in Detroit, Michigan, son of Ruth and Asa Sheffey. The couple separated before his birth. He was taken in by a foster family next door, Sue Ellen Westerfield and William Hayden, and grew up in a Detroit ghetto nicknamed "Paradise Valley". The Haydens' eternally belligerent marriage, coupled with Ruth Sheffey’s competition for her son's affections, made for a traumatic childhood. Witnessing fights and suffering beatings, Hayden lived in a house troubled with chronic anger. His childhood traumas resulted in debilitating bouts of depression that he later called "my dark nights of the soul".
Before answering the question, I would like to mention what we call free verse poetry. It is poetry that is free from limitations of regular meter or rhythm, and does not rhyme with fixed forms. Such poems are without rhythm and rhyme schemes, do not follow regular rhyme scheme rules, yet still provide artistic expression.
We can conclude that the present poem is written in free verse because:
There is no rhyme scheme.
The lines are unequal in length.
<em>The other options present limitations or patterns which are the opposite characteristics of free verse.</em>
<span>Describe the approach you would take in the creation of this media:
</span>The approach will be through short advertisements. In this advertisement, it can include 15 seconds teaser performance of the members of the marching band's performance, or it can be a documentation of the expectations and excitement of the fans.
Through these simples ways, more audience will be influenced and curious about the Marching Band. Hence, attract more people.
What techniques (sound, videos, images, layout, etc.) would you use in your segment?
Our advertisement will highlight the teaser performance of the Marching Band and testimonies of the fans through video-recording. To make it more appealing, we will use lively sounds and bright cinematographies.
What tone or level of formality would you use?
We will use a conversational tone to bridge friendly connection and increase engagement with the audience. This to highlight fun and sense of unity that people can expect while watching the performance.
<span>If you chose to interview a member of the Marching Band, how might that bring bias into your segment?
The burden is transferred to the member of the Marching Band as it means you only need to note questions and ask them on the spot. As a representative, you hold responsibilities to promote the Marching Band with your own creativity and method.

The right answer for the question that is being asked and shown above is that: "Knights and crusaders are the theme and the historical setting The Middle Ages is the geographical setting." Nora read a story about an artist who lived in France during the time of knights and crusades. This is the true statement.
