Use this passage from the myth to answer the question. but in no time, the baby grew bored again, and shrieked violently. finally, the chief gave the child another box to entertain him. raven, disguised as the baby, began to play even more wildly with this second box. he tumbled it hard, and again it fell open. the moon spilled from the box, and in excitement the child tossed it high into the sky. the chief tried to catch the moon before it escaped, but it was too late. he resolved not to let the child have anything else to play with. instead, he decided, his daughter would just have to give the child away to another woman. but the daughter refused. she had grown to love the baby, despite his irritable behavior. once again, the child became bored, and wailed profusely, his black eyes flashing mischievously like a raven's. the chief did everything he could think of to calm the child. nevertheless, the baby cried on, and began to point at a third box in the corner. before the chief could move, his daughter handed the child this new toy to play with. this time, knowing the treasure that lay inside, the child turned back into raven, who snatched the box in his beak and flew up through the smoke hole in the ceiling. once away from the sky chief, raven released the sun from its confinement. light shone across the entire earth, illuminating mountains, rivers, and oceans. raven no longer had to fly through the dark. –“the raven and the first men – the beginnings of the haida” in the haida myth, raven releases sources of light. what conclusion can be drawn about the haida’s values based on this part of creation? nature is something that must be kept hidden away. the moon, the stars, and the sun are important parts of the world around the haida. the haida value the sun more than the moon or the stars. the haida are not concerned with parent and child relationships.

Select the correct answer. lyric poems often deal with intense emotions. which statement best describes the shift in emotion in "lift every voice and sing" as it moves from the first into the second stanza? lift every voice and sing till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty; let our rejoicing rise high as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. sing a song full of the faith that the dark past has taught us, sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us, facing the rising sun of our new day begun let us march on till victory is won. stony the road we trod, bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat, have not our weary feet come to the place for which our fathers sighed? we have come over a way that with tears has been watered, we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past, till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast. a. the joyful call of the first stanza gives way to a bitter recounting of history in the second. b. the first stanza's anger is replaced by the second stanza's resignation. c. the poem moves from a sense of wonder in the first stanza toward a sense of perplexity in the second. d. there is no change between the first stanza and the second. the emotions are the same in both.
