Craft and structure: why does the author begin each stanza with the same line:
“take up the white man's burden”? what is different about the first line of the
final stanza?

the softly drifting snow

the bumpy, twisted tree

the scarred, stained rug

Explanation:

All of these sentences have descriptive adjectives or adverbs that help the reader picture the image or use their senses to picture the image. The words such as softly drifting, bumpy, twisted, scarred, and stained are the sensory language that helps the reader picture the image.

I took the test and got 100%

Hope this helps!
