Sibilance

Q 1,  I looked upon the rotting sea, And drew my eyes away; I looked upon the rotting deck, and there the dead men lay.       Why did the poet repeat this phrase ‘I looked’?         Answer, It shows that he isn’t looking at the sea any differently from the deck. It also draws your attention.

Q 2, Finish later

The Bridge

This story is based in 1861-1865 during the American Civil War.

A woman and her husband lived together by a bridge over a river.  One day the husband had to go away for three month, in that time the woman found a lover as a way to make money as she couldn’t get a job. After a few months the woman had heard that her husband was coming home from the army for a while, so she then left her lover, to cross the bridge back to her husband but now there was a soldier in the way, the soldier told her that he had orders that no one must cross the bridge otherwise he would shoot them. Near the bridge was a boat and a boatman with a black and red shirt, the woman asked him to bring her across the bridge and the boatman said he would if she gave him $100, the woman didn’t have $100 so she asked her lover but the lover refused and said he didn’t have the money. The woman tried to cross the bridge and the soldier shot her dead.
