AP English Literature: The Farm and the City

rhyme every other one on impulse in cold metal grasses

Pen it down in a basement in an hour An

apple treated so freely in the water Brooke was thrown

And even sewer dungeon fetid darkness Ancient math But I

wonder if you're going to sleep All right Well let's

see In line one The farmhouse that lingers Represents what

Nightline One Alright the farmhouse lingers though adverse to square

Does that mean well that farmhouse a building that isn't

typically constructed anymore is still holding on in the first

line It lingers suggesting it's been there for a long

time Back when the brook was still above ground in

the farmhouse Didn't have to What Where The new city

street So the answer here is C A refusal to

fully relinquish its past That's the right answer All right

Loser bowl When the speaker says that the Brooke held

the house as in an elbow crook Will the warm

connotations of Held implied the farmhouse and the brook lived

in perfect harmony with the rest of the poem sets

up in antagonism between city life and the brook And

these lines suggest that the farm is on the ladders

side because well of its long history in the area

right Well there are no clues to determine whether anyone

still lives in the farmhouse or not So all those

air wrong sees the right answer and you go farmhouse 00:01:41.74 --> [endTime] hang in there
