Question 1 of 5 Review the following excerpt:
I see you shining like a jewel of night,
you, possibility maker, dream-world guide,
you, nighttime magician with one bright side;
queen of the ocean, where you rest your light,
please tell me why, like an ocean wave, my sight
turns toward you through the darkest sacrifice,
why you, fierce goddess, Diana, entice,
and why toward you my deepest dreams take flight.
- "Sonnet XV," Maximilian Voloshin

Explanation:

Maximilian Voloshin was a Ukranian-born Russian poet who lived from 1877 to 1932. Voloshin was an important figure of the Symbolist movement in Russia.

To find the rhyme scheme of a poem, we must look at the last word of each line.

The first last word will always be attributed the letter A. If another last word has the same final sound as that one, it will also be A. If it has a different final sound, it will be attributed the letter B. Every time a different final sound appears, it is given the next letter of the alphabet - C, D, etc.

With that in mind, let's take a look at the last words of each line in the passage:

night A

guide B

side B

light A

sight A

sacrifice C

entice C

flight A

See how the words "night, light, sight, and flight" all have exactly the same final sound? That is the reason why they are all A.

After analyzing each word, we can safely say the rhyme scheme is ABBA ACCA.

that is the way of a cheater and cheaters get nothing but bad grades and in trouble.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
