excerpt from "the inchcape rock"
by robert southey

the buoy of the inchcape bell was seen,
a darker spot on the ocean green;
sir ralph the rover walked his deck
and he fixed his eye on the darker speck.

he felt the cheering power of spring,—
it made him whistle, it made him sing;
his heart was mirthful to excess,
but the rover’s mirth was wickedness.

his eye was on the inchcape float.
quoth he, “my men, put out the boat
and row me to the inchcape rock,
and i’ll plague the abbot of aberbrothok.”

the boat is lowered, the boatmen row,
and to the inchcape rock they go;
sir ralph bent over from the boat,
and he cut the bell from the inchcape float.

down sank the bell with a gurgling sound;
the bubbles rose and burst around.
quoth sir ralph, “the next who comes to the rock
won’t bless the abbot of aberbrothok.”

how does the imagery affect the mood of these stanzas?

no stir in the air, no stir in the sea,

the ship was as still as she could be;

her sails from heaven received no motion;

her keel was steady in the ocean.

without either sign or sound of their shock

the waves flowed over the inchcape rock;

so little they rose, so little they fell,

they did not move the inchape bell.

question 7 options:

the motionless inchcape bell creates an alarming mood.

the steady keel and minimal waves create a tranquil mood.

the stillness of the air and sea create a frightening mood.

the sails from heaven create a respectful mood.

"the children's hour" by henry wadsworth longfellow between the dark and the daylight, when the night is beginning to lower, comes a pause in the day's occupations, that is known as the children's hour. i hear in the chamber above me the patter of little feet, the sound of a door that is opened, and voices soft and sweet. from my study i see in the lamplight, descending the broad hall stair, grave alice, and laughing allegra, and edith with golden hair. a whisper, and then a silence: yet i know by their merry eyes they are plotting and planning together to take me by surprise. a sudden rush from the stairway, a sudden raid from the hall! by three doors left unguarded they enter my castle wall! they climb up into my turret o'er the arms and back of my chair; if i try to escape, they surround me; they seem to be everywhere. they almost devour me with kisses, their arms about me entwine, till i think of the bishop of bingen in his mouse-tower on the rhine! do you think, o blue-eyed banditti, because you have scaled the wall, such an old mustache as i am is not a match for you all! i have you fast in my fortress, and will not let you depart, but put you down into the dungeon in the round-tower of my heart. and there will i keep you forever, yes, forever and a day, till the walls shall crumble to ruin, and moulder in dust away! which literary device does longfellow use most frequently in the poem? a. simile b. metaphor c. repetition d. personification
