Use detailed evidence (quotations, paraphrases, and/or summaries) and examples from the literary work(s) to support your answer. Remember to include in-text citations.

The sense of sound and music did not change my initial reactions to the poem.

Explanation:

The sense of music and sound in the pomeas mentioned above, are perceived by the metrics and by the use of rhyme in both poems. Although this makes reading more fluid and involving, this sense cannot change our interpretations and reactions about the poems.

In "The Jabberwocky", we realize that the speaker refers to a boy's fight with a very dangerous monster and we can have this reaction on the lines:

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son! / The jaws that bite, the claws that catch! / Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun / The frumious Bandersnatch! ”

In "We Real Cool", on the other hand, we have the perception of a group of young people, who want to enjoy life without worries and with a reputation for being detached, cool, stylish. We can see this through the lines:

"We are really cool. We / Left school. We / Lurk late. We / Strike straight."

the penalty for defying creon's decree is death, as can be seen in the tragedy. if you do obey him however, all is forgiven

the whisper is the answer, hope this : )
