an open boat
by alfred noyes
o, what is that whimpering there in the darkness? 


'let him lie in my arms. he is breathing, i know.

look. i'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – the sea's rising,

the boat must be lightened. he's dead. he must go.'



 see - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,

 the cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,

 and the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover

 and wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.

'come, lady, he's dead.' - 'no, i feel his heart beating,

he's living, i know. but he's numbed with the cold.

 see, i'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' -
-
'no. we can't keep the dead, dear. come, loosen your hold.


'come. loosen your fingers.' - 'o god, let me keep him! ' -

o, hide it, black night! let the winds have their way!

 and there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,

 to fret the bare seas at the breaking of day.
which choice best describes the conflict in this poem?
the winds are rocking the boat.
a man is thrown into the sea.
a woman doesn’t want to let go of her dead lover.
someone is crying in the darkness.

Read the passage from a vindication of the rights of woman. that the society is formed in the wisest manner, whose constitution is founded on the nature of man, strikes, in the abstract, every thinking being so forcibly, that it looks like presumption to endeavour to bring forward proofs; though proof must be brought, or the strong hold of prescription will never be forced by reason; yet to urge prescription as an argument to justify the depriving men (or women) of their natural rights, is one of the absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense. does wollstonecraft maintain an objective tone in the passage? yes, because she uses objective language such as “society is formed in the wisest manner.” yes, because she uses objective language such as “it looks like presumption to endeavor.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “though proof must be brought, or the strong hold.” no, because she uses subjective language such as “absurd sophisms which daily insult common sense.”
