Reread 1-3. in whitman’s metaphor, what is the “fearful trip”, the “ship”, and the “prize” that was won? what is the “port? ” express your answer in a chart like the one shown.

The Captain. Whitman is mourning the death of Lincoln whom he (Whitman) considered the most moral of men. Whitman genuinely appreciated who Lincoln was and what he was forced to do as president. Lincoln is the Captain.

The Ship. The ship is what is left of the United States after the Civil War. It was a bloody confrontation and America is left momentarily poorer after the war was over.

The Prize was the "peaceful" reunification of the United States.

The Port was the end of the ship's journey. It is made up of people glad to see the ship returning

The question is kind of confusing. if it's asking how many variations of answers can you give. then do 4^5 for your answer.this would be something like the first question could be a and the 2nd c or first b next c etc. if you can, ask the teacher for a better confirmation of what it's asking. if i'm assuming correctly what it's asking, it's 625 different variations.
