Which element of modernist poetry is evident in this excerpt from "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" by Langston Hughes?
Doss [256]

Answer:

If your options are:

A. The poem uses variations of meter to affect rhyme.

B. The poem’s sentences flow across stanzas.

C. The poem’s stanzas have varying lengths.

D. The poem uses nontraditional syntax and rhyme scheme.

Then the answer is D.

Explanation:

The nontraditional syntax is best shown in the use of enjambment - interrupting the thought and syntactic structure in the middle and moving the rest to the next line. For example: "and older than the // flow of human blood (...)"

Here, the definite article "the" has been separated from the noun "flow", which means the phrase is visually broken in half.

  • A isn't true because this poem conveys its meaning through rhythm and not rhyme. There are virtually no rhymes here and the syntax (sentence structure) is disrupted, invoking the sound of a river flowing in irregular but consistent waves.
  • B isn't true because the sentences do flow across lines but not across stanzas.
  • The stanzas do have varying lengths. But even though this element was pretty rare prior to the 20th century, it is not exclusive to modernist poetry. That's why C isn't true either.

Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Summary:

In “The Piece of String,” the story would be very different if told from

the point of view of the farm hand who actually found the wallet. He

would most likely be shocked and concerned that the old man was taking

such grief for something he did not do. It also would have changed the

end of the story.

This is More Detailed:

Maitre Malandain probably does not truly believe that Maitre Hauchcorne has stolen the wallet, but having "the tendency to hold grudges," he takes advantage of an opportunity to deal misery to his foe.

Just as Saki satirized those of the Edwardian Age in England, Guy de Maupassant mocked the pettiness of the peasantry of Normandy, a province in northwestern France. In the exposition of his story, Maupassant describes the Norman women in the market who stubbornly held to their prices in the market and would only relent when a customer began to walk away. Then, they would shout after him or her, "All right...It's yours."

It is this same obstinate and petty...

What is the purpose of lobbying?.
Rasek [7]

In order to sway a decision about a legislative or administrative action, lobbying is the practice of directly approaching or encouraging others to approach a member of the legislative, executive, or quasi-public bodies of government.

  • It encompasses any efforts made by people, organized organizations, or other lawmakers to sway lawmakers and authorities. "Lobbying" (also spelled "lobby") is a form of advocacy with the intention of influencing decisions made by the government by individuals or more commonly by lobby groups.
  • In a letter to a member of Congress, a Duke official requests that they abstain from voting on an amendment that would be presented during the bill's discussion. This is lobbying since it offers a viewpoint on a specific piece of legislation.

Thus this is the purpose of lobbying.
