in this poem about PAul Revere. im supposed to explain the literal meaning and the actual words used that directly state the poets meaning... so what am i supposed to write? what is an example of that in this poem?

PLEASE HELP ME!! =)
heres the poem:
Listen my children and you shall hear
Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere,
On the eighteenth of April, in Seventy-five;
Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers that famous day and year.
He said to his friend, "If the British march
By land or sea from the town to-night,
Hang a lantern aloft in the belfry arch
Of the North Church tower as a signal light,--
One if by land, and two if by sea;
And I on the opposite shore will be,
Ready to ride and spread the alarm
Through every Middlesex village and farm,
For the country folk to be up and to arm."

Then he said "Good-night!" and with muffled oar
Silently rowed to the Charlestown shore,
Just as the moon rose over the bay,
Where swinging wide at her moorings lay
The Somerset, British man-of-war;
A phantom ship, with each mast and spar
Across the moon like a prison bar,
And a huge black hulk, that was magnified
By its own reflection in the tide.

Meanwhile, his friend through alley and street
Wanders and watches, with eager ears,
Till in the silence around him he hears
The muster of men at the barrack door,
The sound of arms, and the tramp of feet,
And the measured tread of the grenadiers,
Marching down to their boats on the shore.

Then he climbed the tower of the Old North Church,
By the wooden stairs, with stealthy tread,
To the belfry chamber overhead,
And startled the pigeons from their perch
On the sombre rafters, that round him made
Masses and moving shapes of shade,--
By the trembling ladder, steep and tall,
To the highest window in the wall,
Where he paused to listen and look down
A moment on the roofs of the town
And the moonlight flowing over all.

Beneath, in the churchyard, lay the dead,
In their night encampment on the hill,
Wrapped in silence so deep and still
That he could hear, like a sentinel's tread,
The watchful night-wind, as it went
Creeping along from tent to tent,
And seeming to whisper, "All is well!"
A moment only he feels the spell
Of the place and the hour, and the secret dread
Of the lonely belfry and the dead;
For suddenly all his thoughts are bent
On a shadowy something far away,
Where the river widens to meet the bay,--
A line of black that bends and floats
On the rising tide like a bridge of boats.

Meanwhile, impatient to mount and ride,
Booted and spurred, with a heavy stride
On the opposite shore walked Paul Revere.
Now he patted his horse's side,
Now he gazed at the landscape far and near,
Then, impetuous, stamped the earth,
And turned and tightened his saddle girth;
But mostly he watched with eager search
The belfry tower of the Old North Church,
As it rose above the graves on the hill,
Lonely and spectral and sombre and still.
And lo! as he looks, on the belfry's height
A glimmer, and then a gleam of light!
He springs to the saddle, the bridle he turns,
But lingers and gazes, till full on his sight
A second lamp in the belfry burns.

A hurry of hoofs in a village street,
A shape in the moonlight, a bulk in the dark,
And beneath, from the pebbles, in passing, a spark
Struck out by a steed flying fearless and fleet;
That was all! And yet, through the gloom and the light,
The fate of a nation was riding that night;
And the spark struck out by that steed, in his flight,
Kindled the land into flame with its heat.
He has left the village and mounted the steep,
And beneath him, tranquil and broad and deep,
Is the Mystic, meeting the ocean tides;
And under the alders that skirt its edge,
Now soft on the sand, now loud on the ledge,
Is heard the tramp of his steed as he rides.

It was twelve by the village clock
When he crossed the bridge into Medford town.
He heard the crowing of the cock,
And the barking of the farmer's dog,
And felt the damp of the river fog,
That rises after the sun goes down.

It was one by the village clock,
When he galloped into Lexington.
He saw the gilded weathercock
Swim in the moonlight as he passed,
And the meeting-house windows, black and bare,
Gaze at him with a spectral glare,
As if they already stood aghast
At the bloody work they would look upon.

It was two by the village clock,
When he came to the bridge in Concord town.
He heard the bleating of the flock,
And the twitter of birds among the trees,
And felt the breath of the morning breeze
Blowing over the meadow brown.
And one was safe and asleep in his bed
Who at the bridge would be first to fall,
Who that day would be lying dead,
Pierced by a British musket ball.

You know the rest. In the books you have read
How the British Regulars fired and fled,---
How the farmers gave them ball for ball,
>From behind each fence and farmyard wall,
Chasing the redcoats down the lane,
Then crossing the fields to emerge again
Under the trees at the turn of the road,
And only pausing to fire and load.

So through the night rode Paul Revere;
And so through the night went his cry of alarm
To every Middlesex village and farm,---
A cry of defiance, and not of fear,
A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,
And a word that shall echo for evermore!
For, borne on the night-wind of the Past,
Through all our history, to the last,
In the hour of darkness and peril and need,
The people will waken and listen to hear
The hurrying hoof-beats of that steed,
And the midnight message of Paul Revere.

I have heard alot of rumors about pet shops not being a safe place to purchase a pet. (namely, a dog). I have heard that they abuse the animals, and the constant contact with people makes the animals irritable, snippy and hyperactive or just the opposite.... fearful and timid.
Can anyone shed some light on the subject? Are these only myths, or do cases like these happen frequently?? If I decide to buy a puppy from the pet store in the mall, what would you suggest I do?

Now that the christmas season is coming up ( and i dont celebrate or believe in it) alot of situations are coming up that are causing some tense moments. Will we eventually find a way thru all this or is this going to be a life long fight??

I am trying to find out my family history so I can one day tell my boys about it. But their is a huge snag. My grandmother's father was orphaned at 12 (maybe). He was sent to live with his uncle and never really talked about it to his girls. All I know is his named and a birthdate. State of birth. Is there a way to find out more. Like news papers, dating back to the early 1900's? I want to find out more but don't know how. Tried ancestery.com but there are a million same name date and state, drew dead end there?

All right tommrow my high school goes on winter break. There is a girl i want to ask out and i know she is interested. Problem is I have been waiting for an oppurtunity that may never come. She is always around other people and I have been thinking that I should start some dialog before I actually ask her out. Problem is I dont really want to spend 2 weeks on break without her. What should I do to get her? Should i just ask her out or try to get her phone number so we can talk more. BTW I am almost 100% sure that she really likes me I have been just shy in the past. Tommorow though I am definitely gonna do it. Oh, and what can I do to get her away from her friends so it is less indimadating? Any extra info or ideas would be appreciated. Oh and just as a reminder I only have 1 shot to do this before break.

Thanks a lot in advance

If you trade stocks / futures in a LLC, how is the taxable LT / ST
capital gains offset by business expenses in the LLC? Do business expenses offset the long-term gains or the short-term gains equally? Or can you choose to have business expenses offset the short-term gains first?

For example, let's assume the following:

100K long-term gains
75K short-term gains
50K business expenses

Can the entire 50K of business expenses offset the 75K short-term gains or do the business expenses have to reduce LT / ST gains equally?

My boyfriend was RAISED as a Jehovah's Witness but has been disfellowshipped long before me, but he still believes that the way he was raised to be "The Truth". I am 27 years old and am having a hard time even considering giving up my Holiday celebrations to appease him. I don't want my baby boy to miss out on all the fun family time I experienced as a child.

Can anyone give me verses that say we are not to celebrate Holidays or Birthdays?
