residents do it Yeah well we've skimmed this couple times
- 00:24
so we're just going to skim it quick and we're
- 00:26
thinking about a new no purple All right In the
- 00:30
last stands of the poem the speaker implies which of
- 00:32
the following all right here the financial answers thanks carries
- 00:36
a pain All right well let's see what the last
- 00:41
stanza has for us We'll get rid of the most
- 00:43
useless answer First we're looking atyou answer see no the
- 00:47
speaker does not mean that he can literally hear the
- 00:49
waves of industry in the city If that were the
- 00:52
case there might well be a tsunami type of situation
- 00:55
on the rise and industry and well that would be
- 00:57
bad And then there's choice d which takes things a
- 01:00
little too far though the speaker does seem to dig
- 01:02
nature replaces all over the city he never specifically bad
- 01:06
mouths his town when he describes the pavement says gray
- 01:10
and sounds kind of depressing but we can't quite call
- 01:12
it negative pavement is grey after all if he said
- 01:15
that the sidewalks were covered with his shattered dreams without
- 01:19
it be different Also be bad poetry wouldn't run option
- 01:23
a seems like a pretty safe guess but the speaker
- 01:25
never totally confirms it The speaker does describe being in
- 01:29
the city and thinking about inisfree but just because the
- 01:32
author loves in his free doesn't necessarily mean that he
- 01:34
always wants to be there It's like chuck e cheese
- 01:36
is that Way yeah Option b is the best answer
- 01:40
in the last stands of the poem The speaker here's
- 01:43
in the deep heart's core the sounds of the lake
- 01:46
even when he is on pavement Gray he's referring to
- 01:50
the fact that he carries the peace and tranquility from
- 01:53
inisfree with him wherever he goes Wow portable peace and
- 01:58
tranquility got a market that stuff on an iphone Yeah
