What does albatross symbolize? I need a paragraph

English
1 answer:
olga_2 [115]3 years ago
3 0
An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously).  The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it.  Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense.  Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

In "The Jilting of Granny Weatherall", what is the story's theme?
kakasveta [241]

By being privy to Granny’s death, the reader can infer much about her life. The title describes the enormous hurt and humiliation that has secretly festered in her mind and heart for sixty years. Her great pride was devastated by her jilting; although she married a good man, raised a family, and managed a farm by herself after her husband’s death, she never totally got over the shock and disappointment of George’s rejection. The fact that she has saved George’s letters suggests how much he continued to mean to her in her heart and how the pain of her jilting remained with her for sixty years.

In at least one hundred words, discuss why King George III is portrayed as "an old island queen" in the song "Revolutionary Tea.
sladkih [1.3K]
The song "revolutionary tea", portrays the frustration of colonists at the tax on tea from Great Britain to the American colonies to pay for the protection and governance of the US. The idea of an "old island queen" makes the point that England is wealthy and petty for asking for money from the colony. This leads to the establishment of the Boston Tea Party and paves the way for the Independence of the United States.
