3. A reader would come to realize the importance of language and the need for its continuity. The point is that, when a language is lost, concepts, ways of reasoning, subtle variations, history, songs, traditions, etc., are lost.

Explanation:

This article by Terrence McCoy is an eye-opener to the fact that since the pandemic affected mostly older people with weak immunity, the death of these old ones would also affect their roles and responsibilities as custodians of language and culture.

1. The article says that Aritana Yawalapiti was 71 years old when he died of the corona virus disease. He spoke five languages and his death means that all five languages are gone with him.

1. Compare and contrast the role of nature and the natural world in two poems from this unit: Walt Whitman’s “Come Up from the Fields Father” and Sara Teasdale’s “There Will Come Soft Rains.” Be sure to use specific examples from both poems to support your response.

Answers

In "Come Up from the Fields Father," Whitman presents a rich description of nature. He talks about the fields of Ohio, with buckwheat that the bees enjoy. The trees are green, yellow and red and a slight wind moves them. We also see apple orchards, grapes, a calm sky and beautiful clouds. However, the rest of the scene is one of sadness and despair. The son of the family has been killed in the war. The rich and vivid images of nature contribute to creating a contrast between the beautiful environment and the horrors of the war.

In "There Will Come Soft Rains," the imagery is reversed. Instead of showing how war interrupts the natural environment, Teasdale shows how nature can reclaim the environment from war. Therefore, she shows the same contrast, but she uses a different direction. In the poem, she describes how nature will eventually reclaim a battlefield, and everything that was sad and destructive will become beautiful once more.

It’s not always easy to find comparison between to stories, in my opinion I find it easier to compare two stories rather than poems. I don’t know if it’s because they’re longer or if it’s because the story focuses on characters, either ways I’m always able to compare two totally different stories. On the other hand when it comes to poems I find it hard to compare or find similarities, I think the reason towards my weakness is because I’m not the type who reads poems, but when it came to these two I was able to compare and contrast the two. The similarities between these two poems is the way both share the horrible outcomes of war and how they are discussing the beautiful world that is destroyed due to war. An example would be the last line of “There Will Come Soft Rains”, “Would scarcely know that we are gone”.
