Read the poem 'Lágrima de Preta' by Luís Gama, one of the most important Brazilian poets and abolitionists of the 19th century: 'I am the tear of a black woman / That sometimes the wind dries, / I am the leaf that withers and falls / Without anyone repudiating it, / I am the shining wave of the sea, / I am the star that shines, / I am the dewdrop, / That fluctuates on the flower, / I am the echo of the mountain, / The murmuring waterfall.' Considering the historical context of the abolition of slavery in Brazil and the literary production of Luís Gama, write a text in which: 1) Analyze how the poem reflects the experience and feelings of the black people regarding slavery. 2) Discuss the use of figures of speech in the poem and how they contribute to the expression of the black cultural voice and resistance. Relate the text to another historical moment, such as the present, to show the enduring nature of the issues addressed by the author.

In the presentation of the famous English-speaking city, the verb 'to be' plays a fundamental role in expressing the identity and current state of the city, as well as the qualities and characteristics of its landmarks, culture, and people. For example, 'The Tower Bridge is an iconic symbol of London, representing its rich history and connection with the world.' Here, 'is' is used to describe the singular subject 'The Tower Bridge' and to attribute the quality of being an 'iconic symbol' to it. Additionally, 'London is a vibrant metropolis with a diverse population.' In this sentence, 'is' is used with the singular subject 'London' to express the quality of being 'vibrant' and the characteristic of having a 'diverse population.' Furthermore, 'The museums in the city are renowned for their extensive collections.' The plural form 'are' is used with the plural subject 'The museums' to convey that they are 'renowned' and to describe the quality of their 'extensive collections.' The verb 'to be' thus helps to clarify the current state and existence of the city's landmarks, culture, and people, while allowing for the expression of their qualities and characteristics, which are integral to the city's identity and character.

Sometimes in English, we want to say that something is not true or that we don't have something. For example, if I have a pencil and I want to say that I don't have an eraser, I can use a negative form. Look at this sentence: 'I have an apple.' If I don't have an apple, I can change the sentence to the negative form like this: 'I don't have an apple.' Now, imagine you have a dog and you want to say that it's not small. How would you write this in English, using the negative form? Write a complete sentence explaining that your dog is not small. Remember to use the word 'not' in your sentence.
