Read these lines from “Grass” by Carl Sandburg. Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo.
Shovel them under and let me work—
I am the grass; I cover all.

How does the personification in these lines affect the poem?

It suggests that the grass consumes the tragedies of war so the living can move on.

It implies that nature plays its role in helping man bury those who lost their lives in war.

It portrays the grass as a being without any empathy for all the lives lost in war.

It explains that nature takes over the landscape once the war has ended.

Have you ever thought you understood a person based on a story that you have heard about them? have you ever guessed about a person's personal life because of the clothes they wore? or, have you judged a person because of their friends? although classifying people in this way is typically discouraged, authors deliberately use your preconceived ideas to you form an opinion about the character or to at least have a better understanding. can you think of a time that you made a character call about someone based on external aspects? were you correct, or incorrect? has anyone ever made an incorrect assessment of you based on external aspects? write two paragraphs about it in your journal.
