Answer and Explanation:
In "Chivalry", by Neil Gaiman, we can see that Mrs. Whitaker lives a very monotonous life without major events. She is a widow and retired who lives alone, being kind and kind to everyone she knows.
The monotony in her life makes it seem like she is a dull and boring character, but she is a very interesting and intelligent woman, who has had a lot of action in her life, but who now prefers to live in tranquility, even if it seems monotone for the readers.
In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.
Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").
The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.
Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."
Both of the excerpts discuss higher education. The first one discusses the struggle of the high school students to persist in working hard even in the middle of the night to finish their school work and the second excerpt deals with facts and figures to explain the importance of going on to higher education after high school.
