2. read the excerpt. from in memoriam, a. h. h. by alfred, lord tennyson he is not here; but far away the noise of life begins again, and ghastly through the drizzling rain on the bald street breaks the blank day. what does this stanza convey about the speaker's thoughts and feelings now that his friend is gone? the speaker has faith that his friend's absence is not permanent. the speaker is filled with hope, inspired by the promise of a new beginning. the speaker feels heavy-hearted and separated from daily life.

- "about the claims : -

making a claim is just a fancy way of saying that you're stating your main point.' claims are not just opinions. a claim tells what you think is true about a topic based on your knowledge .

about the country claims : -

a counterclaim is just the opposite of a claim. counterclaims are also provable and supportable by reasons and evidence. not just, 'because i said so.' when you're planning an argument, you need to know what the counterclaim might be so that you can make sure that you disprove it with your reasons and evidence your research." - (catherineroberts)
