 In this excerpt from the poem "Thanatopsis" by William Cullen Bryant, the writer tells us that when we die, we will "sleep" with all kinds of elegant and important people. There will be "patriarchs" (meaning parents, heads of families or male leaders) long since when the Earth was young ("the infant world"). This section of the poem deals precisely with the idea that when we die we all lie down together in a large grave, the writer making it sound like something good.
  The answer to the meaning of the word infant has to do with the letter B) past.

"A hospital alone shows what war is."

This sentence lets the reader be witness of the war cruelty and its consequences regarding human casualties. While being at hospitals you become aware of the war atrocities. It helps us to reflect that any war leads societies to suffering from death and destruction. No matter what the victims' race, sex, origin or religion are, what should be really important is that human beings are being devastated for those acts of cruelty, despotism and barbarism.

What are possible purposes of Stowe’s use of dialect? Select all that apply.
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

A.) to endear certain characters to us.

D.) to show characters’ educational levels.

Stowe's use of dialogue enriches the setting of the story in various ways. First of all, it makes the characters more realistic and endears certain characters to us. By representing their speech as it most likely sounded in real life, we feel like we get to know the characters better. This makes us care about them more deeply. Stowe also uses dialect in order to show the educational levels of the characters, as "standard" English is most likely to be used by characters who are literate and have received some education.
