The poem "Brennan on the Moor" is made up of 13 stanzas. Eleven of these stanzas have four lines (called quatrains) and two of the 13 stanzas have two lines (called couplets)

The content of the quatrains varies significantly from the content of the couplets.

The quatrains tell the story of William Brennan. The first stanza tells how how he was fearless, and the poet says he will tell the story of this "fearless Irishman." We then hear how he began his career.

After the first quatrain, the first couplet appears. This couplet repeats the idea of "young Brennan on the moor" and explains how "brave and undaunted" this young man stood.

The following quatrains continue the story of Brennan. We hear how he was almost like Robin Hood, stealing from the rich to give to the poor. Of course, one day his good fortune had to end, and Brennan was caught by the mayor. Even the mayor's wife weeps when he is caught -- indicating how beloved Brennan was by the community.

The quatrains continue to tell the story of Brennan. He escaped the clutches of the mayor and lived as an outlaw until he was betrayed by a woman he loved. Soon he was taken prisoner and chained in jail until he was condemned to death. The final quatrain are the words Brennan says as he is taken off to his death, as he says goodbye to those who love him.

At the very end of the poem, the second couplet appears. This couplet is exactly the same as the first one that appeared at the beginning of the poem. That is, it reiterates how "brave and undaunted" this young man was.

While the content of the quatrains tells of some not-so-good deeds (robbing and stealing), the content of the couplets emphasizes the goodness (specifically the bravery and fearlessness) of Brennan's character. Furthermore, the couplet functions similar to a refrain of a song. As such, the couplet emphasizes Brennan's goodness despite the many charges that could be laid against the outlaw.

For this reason, the poem ends with the couplet. The poet ends with his goodness -- not his robberies, not his life as an outlaw, and not his death. The poem ends with Brennan young, fearless, and standing on the moor -- forever.

Ead the passage from "marriage is a private affair” by chinua achebe. "i shall never see her,” was the reply. from that night the father scarcely spoke to his son. he did not, however, cease hoping that he would realize how serious was the danger he was heading for. day and night he put him in his prayers. nnaemeka, for his own part, was very deeply affected by his father’s grief. but he kept hoping that it would pass away. if it had occurred to him that never in the history of his people had a man married a woman who spoke a different tongue, he might have been less optimistic. "it has never been heard,” was the verdict of an old man speaking a few weeks later. in that short sentence he spoke for all of his people. this man had come with others to commiserate with okeke when news went round about his son’s behaviour. by that time the son had gone back to lagos. "it has never been heard,” said the old man again with a sad shake of his head. "what did our lord say? ” asked another gentleman. "sons shall rise against their fathers; it is there in the holy book.” "it is the beginning of the end,” said another. how does this passage reinforce the traditional social hierarchy? the older men in the village tell okeke that he should respect nnaemeka’s decision. the older men in the village console nnaemeka about okeke’s attitude toward his choices. the older men in the village commiserate with okeke regarding nnaemeka’s decision to disobey him. the older men in the village think that nnaemeka should be optimistic that okeke will accept his decision.

The difference between point of view and choice of person in a story is that "person" is the literary name given to main characters in a story, and "point of view" is the perspective from which we view the story "person" is part of a term used to describe the type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person); "point of view" is how the antagonist understands the events of a story the terms are interchangeable; there is really no difference between them "point of view" refers to the perspective from which the story is told; "person" is part of a term used to describe a type of narrator (as in first-person or third-person)
