In my opinion, the correct answer is D: <span>Both the parallel structure in the excerpt of "An Irish Airman Foresees His Own Death" and the repetition in the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night" emphasize the inevitability of death.
The main point of both poems is that death is inevitable. However, in Yates' poem, the airman willingly faces death, because of an inner impulse that he finds hard to describe. In this excerpt, he tells us that he is more or less indifferent toward those who are below, on Earth. He is interested in death itself, as a dark phenomenon that haunts him. On the other hand, in Thomas' poem, the inevitability of death is human tragic destiny. We should cling to life as best we can precisely because death is inevitable. These two poems have the same topic, but opposite directions of thought: Yates' speaker goes to meet death, embracing it, whereas Thomas' speaker encourages his dying father to try and postpone death, if possible.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
I left home as early as 7 am, I needed to get to the train station. I did not want to be late on my first day at work. Luckily for me, I was able to get a bus to the train station just on time. I paid for my ticket and sat down whole waiting for the train to move. It was just a few minutes, but the anxiety I felt made it seem as though I'd been sitting for hours.
The train blared its horn, and we moved. I removed my phone to message my partner, to douse the tension I was feeling. I messaged him and he was trying to calm my nerves. I couldn't fathom why I was restless, the adrenaline rush was quite much for me. I asked him for permission to video call, and he accepted, we were conversing if my memory serves me right, he was complimenting me when I heard a loud screech. My phone fell down on the floor right away.
There were screaming everywhere and my head was banging, I was trying to focus but somehow, I was lying down in an unusual manner. I tried to look through the window, and I was seeing the sky. I couldn't piece it all together, but by the time I got to the window, amidst all the chaos in the cabin it finally made sense to me.
The train had derailed!
