The Railway Train
Emily Dickinson, 1896

I like to see it lap the miles,
And lick the valleys up,
And stop to feed itself at tanks;
And then, prodigious, step

Around a pile of mountains,
And, supercilious, peer
In shanties by the sides of roads;
And then a quarry pare

To fit its sides, and crawl between,
Complaining all the while
In horrid, hooting stanza;
Then chase itself down hill

And neigh like Boanerges1;
Then, punctual as a star,
Stop—docile and omnipotent—
At its own stable door.

How do I answer the question?

A total solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes completely in front of the sun. There are five phases of a total solar
eclipse. During the first phase, the partial eclipse phase, the moon begins to pass in front of the sun, blocking a fraction of it.
Second, the total eclipse phase begins and the moon blocks the light from the sun when viewed from a specific location. The
third phase, called the totality, is the specific point when the moon completely covers the sun. In this phase, the sky becomes
dark as the umbra, or complete shadow of the moon, totally hides the sun's rays, bathing the earth in darkness. In one of the
most dramatic elements of a total solar eclipse, the sun's corona, or upper atmosphere, shines all around the moon, which
appears black against the fiery halo of the corona. During the fourth phase, the total eclipse ends when the moon begins to
move away from the sun and the sky lightens. Finally, in the fifth phase, the moon moves completely out of line with the sun
and the eclipse ends.

According to the bar graph, who had the most success qualifying for state ballots in 2004?

1.Since the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860, two parties have dominated American politics: the Democrats and the Republicans. Nevertheless, candidates have frequently tried to beat the odds. These independent and third-party candidates have never managed to win a seat in the White House, but some have played a key role in choosing the man who did.

2.One of the most successful third-party candidates was Theodore Roosevelt. Leaving the White House in 1909, he turned the presidential reins over to his handpicked successor, William Howard Taft. However, after he became upset with Taft’s policies, Roosevelt left the Republican Party to form his own, the Progressive (or Bull Moose) Party. In the 1912 election, Theodore Roosevelt joined William Howard Taft and Woodrow Wilson in the race to become president. Roosevelt finished second, ahead of Taft. However, because he and Taft ended up splitting Republican votes, the presidency went to Woodrow Wilson, a Democrat.



3.Another third-party candidate had a strong influence on the outcome of a more recent election. In 2000, Ralph Nader, the candidate for the Green Party, received nearly three million votes. Some people believe Nader’s campaign only served to divert votes that would have gone to Al Gore, the Democratic candidate. Gore ended up losing to George W. Bush, the Republican candidate, in one of the closest presidential races in history.

4.When Nader ran again in 2004, he did not have quite the same impact. He was unable to get onto the ballot in every state and received less than 1 percent of the popular vote.



5.The efforts of third parties to win the presidency are hindered by a lack of experience, funding, and attention from the media. However, they sometimes have more luck at the local and state level. For example, Congressman Bernard Sanders has been elected to the U. S. House of Representatives eight times by the people of Vermont, despite the fact that he does not belong to one of the two major parties.
