Detailed explanation-1: -“Paul Revere’s Ride” is less a poem about the Revolutionary War than about the impending Civil War-and about the conflict over slavery that caused it. That meaning, though, has been almost entirely forgotten. Longfellow, a passionately private man, was, just as passionately and privately, an abolitionist.
Detailed explanation-2: -What does this stanza reveal about Paul Revere’s friend? He is always on the alert for any enemy sounds and movement. What is most likely the reason the poet includes references to “the dead”? He uses that phrase as a constant reminder to the colonists of the possible fate that awaits them.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first poem, “Paul Revere’s Ride, ” became a national favourite. Written in anapestic tetrameter meant to suggest the galloping of a horse, this folk ballad recalls a hero of the American Revolution and his famous “midnight ride” to warn the Americans about the impending British raid on Concord, Massachusetts.
Detailed explanation-4: -Which of the following statements best describes how the poem’s form contributes to the overall tone? The poem uses mainly slant rhyme, keeping the tone light but not too melodic.
