Упр.69 Unit 4 ГДЗ English Михеева 11 класс

Приведем выдержку из задания из учебника Михеева, Афанасьева 11 класс, Просвещение: 69. Listen to the poems (No 20, 21) and say what their messages are. A. The poem you are going to listen to is believed to be a piece of war poetry. The story runs that the poem “Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep” was left in an envelope for his parents by Steven Cummins, a soldier killed on active service in Northern Ireland, to be opened in the event of his death. It was thought at first that the soldier himself had written it, but then doubts appear. Claims were made for nineteenth-century magazines, but in the end its origins remain a mystery. In some respects this poem became the nation’s favourite.
Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep (by an anonymous author Do not stand at my grave and weep I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on snow, I am the sun on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night. Do not stand at my grave and cry, I am not there; I did not die.
B. The second piece for listening is the famous extract from uRomeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare, where Juliet speaks of her love for Romeo. O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo? Deny thy father and refuse thy name; Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I’ll no longer be a Capulet.
’Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself, though not a Montague. What’s Montague? it is nor hand, nor foot, Nor arm, nor face, nor any other part Belonging to a man. O, be some other name! What’s in a name? that which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet; So Romeo would, were he not Romeo call’d, Retain that dear perfection which he owes Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name, And for that name which is no part of thee Take all myself.

Ответ

A. The message of the poem is that death is not the end. The speaker says that he is still present in nature and in the world around us, so we should not grieve at the grave.

B. The message of the extract is that love is more important than a name or family background. Juliet believes that Romeo’s name does not change who he is, and that true love matters more than social differences.
