00:06

poem Which of the following best describes the effect of

00:16

the personification used in lines ten through thirteen ten to

00:20

fifteen months Just stare at them A moment of love

00:23

of love about Okay Well throughout the poem the narrator's

00:26

talking about love's death So the key line here is

00:30

he left us He would not stay That's not how

00:34

we usually talk about death that someone would not stay

00:37

Usually it's like Well he really super did not want

01:22

would have you d'Oh But that doesn't best describe the

01:25

effect of the personification So that's it The answer is 00:01:28.23 --> [endTime] C Oh
