Ead this excerpt from Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address and then answer the question that follows:(1) Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.Now we are engaged in a great civil war ... testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated ... can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war.(2) We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that this nation might live.

By having the dark bird come in through a sunny window. C. By having the black bird come in from the dark night. D. By showing the bird's red eyes that later become brown.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

In his essay, Edgar Allan Poe, outlined some rules to be followed to create a good piece of literature. The irony related with this essay is that Poe himself actually never followed these outlines. This essay was first published in 1846, by Poe's friend, George Rex Graham. The rules laid by Poe in his essay were:

Length- the piece of literary work should not be very lengthy that it cannot be read in one sitting. For, if the reading is interrupted the work might lose its essence.
Unity of effect- To keep the work original.
A logical method.

To illustrate the use of his rules, he took the example of his poem "The Raven", how he had used the rules in the poem and framed a work that not only appeals its readers but also its critics.

The contrast that Poe had made in his poem "The Raven" is by placing the plumage on the bust of Pallas.

(Excerpt from his "The Philosophy of Composition" to prove my statement:

"I made the bird alight on the bust of Pallas, also for the effect of contrast between the marble and the plumage—it being understood that the bust was absolutely suggested by the bird—the bust of Pallas being chosen, first, as most in keeping with the scholarship of the lover, and, secondly, for the sonorousness of the word, Pallas, itself.")

A. By placing the black bird on a marble statue.

So the best answer is d. feedback, which can be both positive and negative.

Answer:

it would be feedback I am certainly sure
