Answer:
I just came back from the most amazing holiday ever, it was my dream to visit such a lush and beautiful scene and the opportunity finally came when my father thought of taking a family vacation to the hills of Kalimpong.
Everything fell into place and I was excited for my summer vacations to begin. After a short journey through the Himalayas, we finally reached Jhandi, Kalimpong. The journey was tiring but the scenery was well worth the effort, all of us took a moment to grasp this beautiful landscape and my wish to visit a hill station with all my loved ones had finally arrived.
Answer:
This is from the poem "Inchcape rock"
Explanation:
A1.) The speakers are the sailors of Sir Ralph's ship. They are the pirates. The summary of the first stanza is one of the crew said the ship and coastline could not be located because the waves retreated in a quiet conspiracy. He also warned them that the rocky shore was approaching and complained that there was no inch cape bell to ease their fears.
A2.) The poet here showed biblical signs that the devil would ring the bell of his death and call him to hell for his evil deeds. It was called poetic justice, and Ralph Rover deserved his actions.
A3.) Yes, evil cannot go without punishment in this world. Seeing our deeds, we have the power of God to bring justice to all. Sir Ralph did wrong in his poetry and did not think of others. He robbed her of her wealth, but she eventually died in a wreck in a storm, just as she afflicted other sailors in a storm. Cheating does not regret at first but is always unhappy.
A4.) This is ABAB, also known as the traditional rhyme scheme. The ABAB Rhyme Scheme consists of four lines, the words at the end of lines 1 and 3 have the same final note, and the words at the end of lines 2 and 4 have the same final note.
A5.) Sir Ralph the Rover tore his hair.
He cursed himself in his despair;
The waves rushed in on every side,
The ship is sinking beneath the tide.
Hence, the following questions are from Inchcape Rock.
