They shift: think about it, the sentence doesn't make sense.

(PLEASE HELP I BEG YOU!!!!!!) "There will come soft rains" what is the importance of paragraphs 10, 11, and 12?
MAVERICK [17]

Ten o’clock. The sun came out from behind the rain. The house

stood alone in a city of rubble and ashes. This was the one house left

standing. At night the ruined city gave off a radioactive glow which

could be seen for miles.

Ten-fifteen. The garden sprinklers whirled up in golden founts,

filling the soft morning air with scatterings of brightness. The water

pelted windowpanes, running down the charred west side where the

house had been burned evenly free of its white paint. The entire west

face of the house was black, save for five places. Here the silhouette1

in paint of a man mowing a lawn. Here, as in a photograph, a woman

bent to pick flowers. Still farther over, their images burned on wood

in one titanic instant, a small boy, hands flung into the air; higher up,

the image of a thrown ball, and opposite him a girl, hand raised to

catch a ball which never came down.

The five spots of paint—the man, the woman, the children, the

ball—remained. The rest was a thin charcoaled layer.

The gentle sprinkler rain filled the garden with falling li

The Importance of pargraphs 10, 11, and 12 is that much like how our own alarms ring in a gentle voice to awake us at the start of our day; only the lonely house’s voice echoed across the halls with each passing hour. Upon reaching the first few paragraphs, the narrator reveals the house to have a built in A.I that is able to control every square inch of the house based on the schedule. (Bradbury page 1) But after the first few schedules, there still wasn’t any response from anyone within the house. At eight-thirty the eggs were shriveled and the toast was like stone. (Bradbury page 1 paragraph 11). It has already been over an hour since the first alarm, the warm fresh breakfast still remained untouched. This house was empty, yet despite it being empty, the house is still running it’s daily schedule as it is meant to do.

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.
