The rhyme scheme and stanza pattern of "A Musical Instrument" mimics the appearance of a pan flute.
The rhyme scheme is ABACCB, and each stanza is made up of six lines. Each stanza is very similar to the shape of a pan flute, which is a group of pipes (or reeds) of increasing length. Thus, the rhyme scheme and stanza pattern make the poem into a pan flute.
It could also be said that each stanza is very similar to the flow of a river, as there is a constant flow throughout the poem. Pan makes his instrument from the reeds by the river.

Answer: The character of Polonius is complex because he practices deception in the Act III of Hamlet.
<u>Explanation:</u>
In the Act III of Hamlet, the character of Polonius is shown as a deceptive character. The proof for this is given in the excerpt. There was a deal made between Polonius and Claudius. According to this deal, Polonius was going to hide in the chamber of Gertrude. The reason for this hiding is that he wanted to hear the conversation between Hamlet and his mother and this can be done only by hiding himself.
Along with this of hearing the conversation by hiding himself in the chamber, he also wanted to convince Gertrude that Gertrude should not be so partial towards Hamlet . This made him have a deceptive character in the act and because of this he is said to have a character which is complex in the Act of Hamlet.
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?
