This is the question i was answering:

in both, "miracles," and, "in just-," the poets use images that appeal to the senses. in a paragraph, compare the use of imagery in the two poems. first, present images in each poem that appeal to the senses of sight, sound, and touch. then, state at least one way in which the use of imagery in the two poems is different and one way that it is the same. include details in the poem in your paragraph.

"miracles."

why, who makes much of a miracle?

as to me i know of nothing else but miracles,

whether i walk the streets of manhattan,

or dart my sight over the roofs of houses toward the sky,

or wade with naked feet along the beach just in the edge of the water,

or stand under trees in the woods,

or talk by day with any one i love …

or sit at table at dinner with the rest,

or look at strangers opposite me riding in the car,

or watch honey-bees busy around the hive of a summer forenoon,

or animals feeding in the fields,

or birds, or the wonderfulness of insects in the air,

or the wonderfulness of the sundown, or of stars shining so quiet and bright,

or the exquisite delicate thin curve of the new moon in spring;

these with the rest, one and all, are to me miracles,

the whole referring, yet each distinct and in its place.

to me every hour of the light and dark is a miracle,

every cubic inch of space is a miracle,

every square yard of the surface of the earth is spread with the same,

every foot of the interior swarms with the same.

to me the sea is a continual miracle,

the fishes that swim—the rocks—the motion of the waves—the ships with men in them,

what stranger miracles are there?

"in just-"

in just—

spring when the world is mud-

luscious the little

lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come

running from marbles and

piracies and it's

spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer

old balloonman whistles

far and wee

and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's

spring

and

the

goat-footed

balloonman whistles

far

and

wee

(sorry, it's long question but iv'e been stuck on it for hours.)

Memories of a memory have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? if so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. new insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things. first, memory is vague. imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. most likely, you could describe the room very generally. you could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. so when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. there are lots of different kinds of "tall." second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. for example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. in effect, your brain is combining memories to you tell the story. third, your memory changes over time. it also changes the more you retell the story. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. you may have noticed this yourself. the next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. you may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? the human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture. part a and part b below contain one fill-in-the-blank to be used for all three question responses. your complete response must be in the format a, b, c including the letter choice, commas, and a space after the commas. part a: which of the following best explains why memories from childhood are unreliable? fill in blank 1 using a, b, or c. our brains add details and general knowledge to childhood memories. our brains are not as reliable as video cameras are. our brains create new stories to make the past more interesting. part b select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using e, f, or g. but the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall. to do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. select one quotation from the text that supports your answer to part a. add your selection to blank 1 using h, i, or j. documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. with individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. when it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture answer for blank 1:
