"love in the moonlight"
by dillon york

no one knows i'm here.
silvery strands of moonlight.
shh. meet me by the ancient oak.
what bird will dare but the great horned owl?
the fire within my heart burns only for you.
do you love me too?

which word best describes the tone of the poem?

pessimistic
sentimental
ironic
nostalgic

The correct answer is sentimental.

Explanation:

In the poem Love in the Moonlight you can see a lover addressing his beloved one.

Apparently he wants to meet his love at midnight and he asks if he is loved back.

The tone in a poem is the attitude that a person feels when reading it, and the attitude that the writer wants to convey to the readers.

In this case, the tone is merely sentimental.  

many scientists' predictions of climate change include: warmer temperatures, rising sea levels, and more frequent storms.

that is the wrong

the speech this question is referring to is president kennedy's special message to the congress on urgent national needs, may 25, 1961

kennedy responds in a very direct and concrete way to those thinking that communism is a positive system:

"yet their aggression is more often concealed than open. they have fired no missiles; and their troops are seldom seen. they send arms, agitators, aid, technicians and propaganda to every troubled area. but where fighting is required, it is usually done by others--by guerrillas striking at night, by assassins striking alone--assassins who have taken the lives of four thousand civil officers in the last twelve months in vietnam alone--by subversives and saboteurs and insurrectionists, who in some cases control whole areas inside of independent nations." (kennedy)

president kennedy presents communism as cowardly, as a hidden and treacherous weapon that strikes from the shadows like thieves, he represents the system as not even being capable of showing and open and overt attack or confrontation. to finish up the response, he expresses that the system attacks even a country's idependence and freedom.
