Read this excerpt from “Sea Fever” by John Masefield.
And the wheel’s kick and the wind’s song and the white sail’s shaking,
And a grey mist on the sea’s face, and a grey dawn breaking,
Which statement best describes how Masefield creates a hopeful mood in the excerpt?
The free form flows cheerfully and unpredictably.
The free form creates a sentimental conversation between man and sea.
The fixed meter and predictable rhyme scheme create an upbeat rhythm.
The fixed meter imitates the rhythm of a military march or parade.
