Answer:

<u>It creates a</u><u> melancholy mood</u><u> because the simile tells the reader about the death of Gilbert's mother.</u> It changes the whole fun atmosphere Gilbert was having with his father as his father tells him different stories about the sea and his lonely winters.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Another Place, Another Time," written by<em> Cory Doctorow. </em>It focuses on the life of Gilbert and his curiousness about "time."

His father usually stays home every summer after his winter voyage. This was a particular time when he was home and Gilbert could spend his time with him and ask him several questions.

The simile makes the whole mood different as it reveals the cause of the death of Gilbert's mother and the loneliness of his father.

If a government leader commits a crime how should they be punished?
dexar [7]

<u>Answer</u>:

The first thing is to cancel all their citizenship rights and not providing the basic necessities and other commodities and taking an immediate action.

<u>Explanation</u>:

Nowadays it is only the political leaders and other government officials who involve in all sort of illegal activities. If the head of the instituition itself is not good then there must be severe punishments and legal actions to be taken.

All their rights like voting rights, licence and other identities of citizenship must be cancelled. They have to put into the prison and treated in a way so that atleast in future they will not commit such mistakes. They must have a fear not to do the same thing again. Even passing an encounter will be good for big, planned crimes.

Narrative and Lyric Poetry
Poetry has been around for centuries. Most often poetry is used when someone is down or when someone wants to show his or her love to someone else. Poetry is basically language condensed for artistic effect. Two types of poetry are narrative poetry and lyric poetry. Narrative poetry tells a story, a particular event, or happening, it often relates to a long story. Lyric poetry is any fairly short poem in which the speaker expresses intense personal emotion or state of mind.

Narrative and lyric poetry may seem like they are similar, but there is a big difference between the two. An example for narrative poetry is the poem Confession by Bruce Lansky. In the poem he confesses about what he has done wrong. An example for lyric poetry is the song Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton. In the song,Vanessa sings about her feelings about how much she needs and misses the person she states as ‘you’.

The poem Confession by Bruce Lansky is a narrative poem because he tells his story about what he did do instead of what he was supposed to do. He starts out by saying “I have a brief confession that I would like to make.” By reading this first line the reader automatically can assume that this will be a narrative poem. As the poem goes own he tells about everything he did that day. This is a narrative poem because he tells about his life and everything he did.

The song Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton is a lyric poem. In Vanessa’s song she pours out her emotions over the person she sings about. Vanessa’s feelings are expressed by the lines “ And I need you, and I miss you...”. This here explains how much she misses this person. Vanessa also talks about how she would even walk a thousand miles to see this person. From this it is understood that this song Thousand Miles is a lyric poem because Vanessa expresses her feelings over her love.

Narrative poetry tells a story just like the poem Confession by Bruce Linsky, thats why this poem is a type of narrative poetry. Lyric poetry expresses emotional feelings, and so the song Thousand Miles by Vanessa Carlton is a type lyric poetry. Poetry is a beautiful form of language and is used everyday to give someone a smile or even shed a tear.

Hatshy [7]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

Explain the following exchange from Romeo and Juliet:

Mercutio: "Nay, gentle Romeo, we must have you dance." Romeo: "Not I, believe me. You have dancing shoes With nimble soles; I have a soul of lead So stakes me to the ground I cannot move."

Answer and Explanation:

In the text shown above, we can see that Mercutio is encouraging Romeo and encouraging him to forget his love problems and have fun. Mercutio tries to show Romeu that it is not worth it to suffer for an unrequited love, but that he must take advantage of the opportunities for entertainment that appear. However, Romeo says he can't do it, because his soul is loaded and heavy with problems.

Which lines in these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are examples of free indirect speech?
Ahat [919]

Which lines in these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are examples of free indirect speech?

1. Within a short walk of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets were particularly intimate. Sir William Lucas had been formerly in trade in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty. The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town; and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge, where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and, unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world. For, though elated by his rank, it did not render him supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By nature inoffensive, friendly, and obliging, his presentation at St. James's had made him courteous.

2. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained. "If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield," said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for."

Answer:

Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained

Explanation:

Indirect free speech is a type of narration which uses the third person point of view that makes use of both first person and third person direct speech.

It makes a quote from a person's thoughts, feelings or words without directly stating them using quotation marks.
