Does this question have the following list of options to choose from?
to protest the war
to demonstrate his love of country
to prove his political activism
<span>to ensure he would not get drafted
</span>
If so, then the answer would be the third one. Goines is using satire, a type of <span>writing, making fun of human behavior  to condemn it or find some social change. He uses this type of writing so as to have the people/ reader think about the war more critically.</span>

Which words in these sentences are used as puns? 1. An English teacher is like a judge in that she hands out long sentences. 2.
-BARSIC- [3]
"Sentences" is the punning word in #1, for judges give out sentences. And teachers, as well. Get it? Sentences?
"Manor" is the punning word in #2. Get that? Castle? Home? Manor instead of manner? A pun is a joke exploiting the different possible meanings of a word or fact that there are words that sound alike but have different meanings. 
Another example of a pun is:
The pigs were a squeal.
I wondered why the baseball was getting bigger. And then it hit me.

Do you understand now? LOL. (: Hope this helps(:

enot [183]
1. You can see through the comparison to a mountain, that the grandpa is tall and always there 'looming' (hovering) over the speaker. You can see that the speaker does not speak much around his grandpa, as he is "silent as a stone". 

2. These details show that the speaker is impressed by his grandpa and looks up to him the way a stone would look up to a mountain-it shows that he hopes one day he will grow to be like his grandpa. 

3. The theme of this poem is shown through the way the speaker looks at his grandpa and the shed. The shed needs more than paint because it is so old, which relates to his grandpa and the theme of growing older.
