Read the following poem by Edgar Allen Poe and answer the question that follows. A Dream Within a Dream Take this kiss upon the

brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow‚ You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream: Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand‚ How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep While I weep‚while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream? What, if anything, does the sand in this poem symbolize? Defend your answer in at least three complete sentences.

I believe that the sand in the poem symbolizes time. The fact that the sand is constantly slipping through the narrator's hands and his inability to 'grasp it with a tighter clasp' means that he is running out of time and that he is trying to keep it for himself, but is ultimately failing to do that. Time is running out on him and it is futile to try to chase after it.

What text evidence can readers use to infer that the last firebrand belongs to Nou, even before his name is called? Use at least
Paul [167]

Answer:

There are two sections of the story that lend credence to the fact that Nous firebrand was the last one to be thrown during the Chief's visit.

  1. The third sentence in the third paragraph indicates that they took turns and that Nous turn came last because, after Nous turn, there was no other mention of any other throw.  This means that all the other older warriors that thrown their flames before Nou.
  2. The third and fourth sentences in paragraph 4 state that everyone was happy except the older fire throwers because Nou had made them look weak and foolish.

This corroborates the evidence from the third paragraph that they had thrown their fires first and Nous fire went last.

Cheers!

How does Wiesel's choice of genre prove beneficial in the excerpt?
Inessa [10]
In all of his writings, Elie wiesel always choose memoir/fiction as his genre.
Including the fact that he based it on his own life (for those who don't know, Elie wiesel is a survivor of holocaust and write books about it), it helped people empathize and can easily accept his point of view toward the incident.
