The words at the ends of lines often help convey a sonnet's themes. (After all, since these words rhyme, they are likely to "stick" more firmly in readers' minds.) Look at the words that Emma Lazarus has placed at the ends of lines in "The New Colossus." Taken together, what do the end rhymes of the first 8 lines suggest? 1. themes related to power and strength

2. themes related to sorrow and loss

3. themes related to doubt and distrust

(the new colossus is on the bottom)

Read the following excerpt from "dark tower" by claude mckay before you choose your answer. "we shall not always plant while others reap the golden increment of bursting fruit, nor always countenance, abject and mute, that lesser men should hold their brothers cheap; not everlastingly while others sleep shall we beguile their limbs with mellow flute, not always bend to some more subtle brute. we were not made eternally to weep. the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark, white stars, is no less lovely being dark; and there are buds that cannot bloom at all in light, but crumple, piteous, and fall. so in the dark we hid the heart that bleeds, and wait, and tend our agonizing needs." in context, the expression "the night, whose sable breast relieves the stark,/ white stars, is no less lovely being dark; " is best interpreted as a. the light of the stars overpowers the black of night b. the black of night overpowers the light of the stars c. black and white contribute equally to the beauty of the night sky d. black and white continuously compete for prominence in the night sky
