In the poem, Burning a Book, by William Stafford, is a poem describing a burning book, and then going to more dept of what it means. In the poem Stafford says, "More disturbing than book ashes are whole libraries that no one got around to writing." The meaning of this is that burning books is not as terrible as not writing them at all. Stafford is trying to say that if you have an idea for a book and you do not write the book, or start it, but never finish, then that is worse then burning a book that's already written. He also says , "If a book isn't written, no one needs to burn it---- ignorance can dance in the absence of fire." This is meaning that if you do not write book then it can not be burned, so instead of fire burning it, the lack of knowledge is burning the unwritten book. Do you agree with Stafford?

<em>Notice that Euchner uses present-tense verbs in his account. </em>
<em> 1. In what verb tense is historical text usually written?</em>
- <em>In both past and present. It is necessary to use the present tense to discuss the actions and ideas that are present in the text. For example, “Edgar Allan Poe in his Method of Composition explains all the steps he generally follows to write short stories”. In this example it is stated that despite Edgar Allan Poe is dead his ideas are present in his Method of Composition. </em>
- <em>We use the past tense when writing about specific historical events. For example, “Winston Churchill said that Germany was dangerously building his armies again.” </em>
<em> 2. What effect does using present-tense verbs create? </em>
- <em>The effect it has, is related to the fact that despite the writer is dead or alive, his or her ideas continue to be present. Literature is a present observable fact.</em>
