Laura is analyzing the poem “she walks in beauty” by lord byron. read the poem on which she’s working. she walks in beauty by lord byron (george gordon) she walks in beauty, like the night of cloudless climes and starry skies; and all that’s best of dark and bright meet in her aspect and her eyes; thus mellowed to that tender light which heaven to gaudy day denies. one shade the more, one ray the less, had half impaired the nameless grace which waves in every raven tress, or softly lightens o’er her face; where thoughts serenely sweet express, how pure, how dear their dwelling-place. and on that cheek, and o’er that brow, so soft, so calm, yet eloquent, the smiles that win, the tints that glow, but tell of days in goodness spent, a mind at peace with all below, a heart whose love is innocent! how should laura explain the writer’s use of repetition in the lines “how pure, how dear their dwelling-place” and “so soft, so calm, yet eloquent”? a. repetition of words in these lines highlights personification in the poem. b. repetition of words in these lines places emphasis on the theme of serenity. c. repetition of words in these lines places emphasis on the rhyme’s continuation. d. repetition of words in these lines recreates a rhythm that feels like the walk of a woman.

The correct answer is:

A. Repetition of words in these lines highlights personification in the poem.

He uses sibilance to show that the inner beauty of the woman creates the outer beauty on the surface. He says her thoughts are beautiful, her character is beautiful, that it is almost coming to the surface in her beautiful face. The sibilance of 'so soft' creates a tenderness in the poet's voice and the punctuation slows the rhythm of the tone, as we can imagine the poet marvelling at her beauty and her character.

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.
