Read the poem. The Whippoorwill

by Madison Julius Cawein

I.

Above lone woodland ways that led

To dells the stealthy twilights tread

The west was hot geranium red;

And still, and still,

Along old lanes the locusts sow

With clustered pearls the Maytimes know,

Deep in the crimson afterglow,

We heard the homeward cattle low,

And then the far-off, far-off woe

Of "whippoorwill!" of "whippoorwill!"

II.

Beneath the idle beechen boughs

We heard the far bells of the cows

Come slowly jangling towards the house;

And still, and still,

Beyond the light that would not die

Out of the scarlet-haunted sky;

Beyond the evening-star's white eye

Of glittering chalcedony,

Drained out of dusk the plaintive cry

Of "whippoorwill," of "whippoorwill."

III.

And in the city oft, when swims

The pale moon o'er the smoke that dims

Its disc, I dream of wildwood limbs;

And still, and still,

I seem to hear, where shadows grope

Mid ferns and flowers that dewdrops rope,

Lost in faint deeps of heliotrope

Above the clover-sweetened slope,

Retreat, despairing, past all hope,

The whippoorwill, the whippoorwill.

Whippoorwill - a nocturnal bird with a distinctive call that is suggestive of its name

Question 1

Part A

What is a theme of “The Whippoorwill?

There is a balance between nature and the city.

People sometimes long for what they cannot have.

In order to move forward, people must leave the past behind.

hi there!

one thousand and one nights, also called the arabian nights is a collection of middle eastern tales compiled in arabic during the islamic golden age, dated from the 8th to the 14th century. this collection was compiled of largely middle eastern and indian stories with an uncertain date and autorship whose tales such as aladdin, ali baba and sinbad the sailor -these ones were the most popular ones, the ones that have almost become part of western folklore.

as in much medieval european literature, the stories contained in this collection are set within a frame story. its scene is central asia, as known as "the islands or peninsulae of india and china", where king shahryar kills his wife after discovering her infidelities and as well as any other who betrayed him.   then, loathing all womankind, he marries and kills his new wife each day until no more candidates could have been found. his vizier had two daughters, scheherezade and dunyazad. the elder one -scheherezade- having devised a scheme to save herself and the others insisted that her father needed to give her in marriage to the king. each evening, she used to tell a story leaving it incomplete and promising to finish it the following night. the stories kept the king very interested, so eager to hear evey ending of each story, that he puts off her execution from day to day and finally he decided to give up with his plan. these stories are contained within the collection of 1001 nights, the bulk of the text is in prose, although verse is usually used for songs and riddles to express better the heightened emotion of them.

there is 2 main differences, basically which are the users and the market. the other difference is the kind of content

people who use tik tok are mainly people from east asia, kind of like the app douyin. musically, on the other hand, are used by people from america or european countries.

while tik tok videos show things like daily life videos, comedy, or just funny videos, musically are like people mimicking songs with their own actions, 'imitate' singers and video clips.

hope this !
