In the poem morning in the burned house What effect does the figurative language in lines 17-18 have on the poem's mood?
a.
These lines add another element of domesticity to the poem to contrast her grief
b. These lines emphasize the stillness of the house in contrast to the growth and movement
of nature.

the horizon.
d. The speaker describes the cloud as bread rising silently, implying a tragedy is about to
happen in the present.

The correct answer is option b. These lines emphasize the stillness of the house in contrast to the growth and movement  of nature.

Explanation:

In this poem we can see a person who goes to what was once her home but now only ashes remain. The speaker can still see what it was like before it was burned, she sees herself eating breakfast and can hear the loved ones she has lost.

There is a lot of pain in her words and by how she describes the house we can see that there is only silence and ruins. As everything continues to move around it, in the house she can only see the destroyed or melted objects and memories that are no longer there.

For this reason, we can say that the correct answer is option B.

overnment is strong when they have the ability to persuade those they govern to believe government has enough power to force them or should be forcing them to do government’s will.

when enough of the citizenry do not believe government can force them or should force them to do its bidding, government has lost or will lose its strength and power to coerce.

when enough of the citizenry do believe government can force or should force them to do its bidding, they become passive at the least or actively pro-government and repeat government’s own rhetoric to pass on what they have been persuaded by government’s propaganda.

a true majority isn’t always needed to govern or to stop government. many times all that is needed is a strong minority. if a determined 30% of the population rises up against government in a concerted effort to bring it down, this size minority usually will succeed as long as those actively opposing the minority are less in force than the minority. so if 41% of the population sits at home watching tv rooting for one side or the other, they don’t matter. it’s the active parties who make a difference.
