Read the excerpt from "Opening Ceremonies of the New York and Brooklyn Bridge" by Hon. Seth Low, Mayor of the City of Brooklyn.

And yet it is distinctly an American triumph. American genius designed it, American skill built it, and American workshops made it. About 1837 the Screw Dock across the river, then known as the Hydrostatic Lifting Dock, was built. In order to construct it the Americans of that day were obliged to have the cylinders cast in England. What a stride from 1837 to 1883—from the Hydrostatic Dock to the New York and Brooklyn Bridge!

What is the purpose of the subjective language in this excerpt?

to remind the people of New Your City that they did not build the bridge

to inspire the people of New York to build another bridge soon

to thank the English for their help in earlier construction projects

to make the people of New York feel pride in the construction of the new bridge

The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: little we see in nature that is ours; we have given our hearts away, a sordid boon! the sea that bares her bosom to the moon; the winds that will be howling at all hours, and are up-gathered now like sleeping flowers; for this, for everything, we are out of tune; it moves us not—great god! i'd rather be a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; so might i, standing on this pleasant lea1, have glimpses that would make me less forlorn; have sight of proteus rising from the sea; or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn. 1lea: a grassland what phrases in this poem make elements of nature seem big and powerful, or sweet and beautiful? second part: the changes of the industrial age, including those leading to the agricultural revolution, still affect people’s lives. choose a modern song or a television show that idealizes rural life or compares rural life to urban life. how does this song or television show describe city life and the countryside? cite evidence from the performance to support your answer.
