She was an imagist and wanted everything to be described in vivid sensory detail. She believes that although the gardens are imaginary in poetry, the toads should be described and depicted so thoroughly that they almost seem real and tangible and are vivid.

Answer: Poets have the difficult task of incorporating real emotions and facts into the settings they imagine.

Marianne Moore was part of the imagist movement, and she advocated the use of extremely real elements in the imaginary settings that poetry produces. She believed that the difficult task of the poem was to add these very real themes (the real toads) that resonate will all humans into their fanciful, imaginary worlds (the imaginary gardens). This is the only way in which poetry would become genuine.

Virty [35]
The Mariner's spiritual rebirth begins when he falls asleep. This occurs in Part V, in the first stanza. He describes being wet and tired, but feeling awake, and lighter than he was before. He also mentions Mary, who is a spiritual figure herself, which shows the reader that this is the beginning of a spiritual moment in the poem.

Tema [17]
Lord Capulet views marriage as a bargain, a contract, and a way to increase his family's standing in the community. Since Paris is a cousin of the Prince, Capulet believes that this marriage will bring honor and status to the Capulet family. He probably has the intention of using this to assert dominance over the Montagues. When describing Paris to Juliet he says he is "A gentleman of noble parentage / Of fair demesnes, youthful, and nobly train'd<span>" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows that his main focus is Paris's status, rather than how he would actually be as a match for Juliet. 
</span>
Capulet does not even think of what Juliet might want, he says to Paris "I think she will be ruled / In all respects by me; nay, more, I doubt it not" (Act 3, Scene 4). This shows that he just assumes Juliet will agree to marry Paris because he said so. When she refuses, he reacts very badly. He says that if she does not agree to the wedding, she can "hang, beg, starve, die in
the streets, / <span>For, by my soul, I'll ne'er acknowledge thee" (Act 3, Scene 5). This shows the lengths he is willing to go to to punish Juliet if she does not agree, which reinforces his idea of marriage as a contractual agreement rather than something that is developed out of love. </span>

What is the setting of the novel the girl who threw butterflies
inn [45]

The novel's setting is a baseball camp and the house where the book's protagonist lives.

<h3>What is the scenario?</h3>
  • It is the place where the story takes place.
  • It is the time when the story takes place.
  • It is the season and climate where the story takes place.

The setting is a very important element for a story to be efficient because it is through it that the reader knows the place where the story takes place. This place must be presented with all the elements that compose it, such as the season, the weather, the year, and the physical environment.

In the novel "The girl who threw butterflies" we can see that the most prominent setting is a baseball camp, where the protagonist spends most of her time and where all the growth and development of the character takes place.

However, we can also consider the protagonist's house as a setting, as a significant part of the story takes place there.
