Choose the correct phrase to make each sentence parallel.
levacccp [35]
If you need to make up a sentence so that it should have a parallel structure it means that the second part of the sentence must have the same pattern of words. It is needed to emphasize that both parts of the sentence have the same importance.

"I Sit and Look Out"
MakcuM [25]
<span>#1) How do Niemöller's words in "First they came for..." repeat the theme developed in "I Sit and Look Out" by Walt Whitman?

Answer: After carefully reading both of the excerpts that are presented above I believe that the words of Niemoller in “First they came for…” repeat the theme developed in “I Sit and Look Out” by Walt Whitman conveying his own view on how even the person who just remains silent while also seeing the injustice that is happening right in front of him can be the most cruel of all. He makes it clear when at the end of the poem-- “Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.”

<span>I hope it helps, Regards. </span></span>

Margarita [4]
A reference to Walt Whitman's "I Hear America Singing" => "I, Too". Langston Hughes' poem adds the African American identity to Whitman's list of ordinary people who constitute and contribute to American collective identity.

Paradox of social injustice => "I, Too". Hughes depicts the social inequality of black people, who are traditionally confined to servitude. He hopes, however, that this will change eventually.

Uses set meter and rhyme scheme => "From the Dark Tower". The poem's rhyme scheme is ABBA.

Symbol of wasted effort => "From the Dark Tower". Black people are the ones who plant, while white people reap.

Stone of anger and resentment => "From the Dark Tower". It depicts black people's anger at being constantly and systematically oppressed.

Uses free verse => "I, Too". Hughes' poem has a conversational tone. The free verse depicts the inner freedom that the speaker feels, and wants to transform into real freedom and equality.
