Answer:

c. The stress on know and fate emphasizes the speaker's certainty that he will die in combat.

Explanation:

William Butler Yeats wrote this poem "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death" after the death of Robert Gregory. This poem is a sort of a man accepting his fate, which he seems to be certain of.

The pilot n the poem, also the speaker is an Irishman who held no attachment for any parties of the war. He does not love the country he's fighting for, nor does he hate the enemy side. He also seems to be reconciled with the fact that he will surely die, while flying. He knows for sure that he will "meet (his) fate Somewhere among the clouds above". This shows that it emphasizes the speaker's certainty that he will die in combat. Also, there are n mention of any friends nor of any selfish feelings or self-centeredness in the speaker.

How does stanza 1 contribute to the development of the poem’s theme? sympathy by Paul Laurence Dunbar
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer:

In stanza 1, the author describes the outside world the bird is kept from. He says he knows what it feels like to lose your freedom, just like the bird in the cage, and describes a beautiful landscape that includes the sun, wind, grass, river, etc. This idealized description could represent an introduction for describing the bird's sad fate and depicts its agony in the cage (as the bird does not belong there).

The poem describes the lack of freedom through a metaphor with a bird in a cage, describes how terrible is the life without freedom. By stating he knows how to bird feels, we can conclude that the lack of liberty also affects the poet's life, because he is feeling the same as the bird.

In his poem <em>Sympathy</em>, Paul Laurence Dunbar tried to describe the oppression of African-American people, their lack of liberty, oppressed rights and bad treatment they had. With this poem, he tries to describe their miserable life without any joy or hope.
