Explanation:

In "The Raven" Allan Poe uses verbs ending on ing to speed up the rhythm of the poem and make it "And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting" he starts with these lines the last stanza of the poem and it gives the poem a more quick rhythm as you can see, the reading speeds up and it feels faster, so this adds intensity to the final of the poem.

explanation:  

stocks and bonds are the two main classes of assets investors use in their portfolios. stocks offer an ownership stake in a company, while bonds are akin to loans made to a company (a corporate bond) or other organization (like the u.s. treasury). in general, stocks are considered riskier and more volatile than bonds.

savings accounts are just money in a bank- they are insured by the fdic for up to 250,000.   very little risk

the average mutual fund holds hundreds of different securities, which means mutual fund shareholders gain important diversification at a low price. which means if one stock or bond drops it will have very little affect on the mutual fund - again very little risk
