00:15

to die and answer the question beloved Case No distinction

00:22

Matthews dying George i think we could be an auction

00:27

sales guy Sound like one charlie but and let me

00:32

know his game All right what is the main similarity

00:36

between the essay and the poem and hear the potential

00:39

answers Okay here we go it's time to compare these

00:44

passages if we need to skim through him again with

00:47

these options in mind Well that's okay but from the

00:49

eighteen hundreds but the information given doesn't verify when both
