In a paragraph of at least three sentences, explain the mood of this excerpt from Little Brother. Provide details from the text

to support your answer. When they took the hood off again, I was in a cell. The cell was old and crumbled, and smelled of sea air. There was one window high up, and rusted bars guarded it. It was still dark outside. There was a blanket on the floor and a little metal toilet without a seat, set into the wall. The guard who took off my hood grinned at me and closed the solid steel door behind him. [GIVING 13 POINTS]

Answer:

The mood here is one of uncertainty, the character is not exactly afraid but he is most certainly in an unknown place. His first reaction is to take in his surroundings and analyze his position. This shows ,in this scene at least, that the character is not one to be scared of unusual circumstances.

Answer:

D. Leaping and jumping

Explanation:

When we're unsure about what a word means, we can use different methods to figure out its meaning. One way is to look at the context - words and phrases that surround it. The paragraph tells about a racing horse that is trying to catch up with other horses. Based on the context, we can conclude that the word <em>cavorting </em>means <em>leaping and jumping</em><em>. </em>Words that especially lead to this conclusion are <em>scattering her legs around limber, sometimes in the air, and sometimes out to one side.</em>

Another way to find out what a word means is to look it up in a dictionary - an alphabetically arranged listing of words that contains different information about them, including their definitions and how they're used. There, we can see that this is what <em>cavorting </em>means.

What feeling is Robert Bly trying to portray in his short poem "Counting Small-Boned Bodies"? What is he trying to express or sa
Lostsunrise [7]

In an essay published in 1961, Robert Kelly coined the term "deep image" in reference to a new movement in American poetry. Ironically, the term grew in popularity despite the critical disapproval of it by the group's leading theorist and spokesperson, Robert Bly. Speaking with Ekbert Faas in 1974, Bly explains that the term deep image "suggests a geographical location in the psyche," rather than, as Bly prefers, a notion of the poetic image which involves psychic energy and movement (TM 259).1 In a later interview, Bly states:

Let's imagine a poem as if it were an animal. When animals run, they have considerable flowing rhythms. Also they have bodies. An image is simply a body where psychic energy is free to move around. Psychic energy can't move well in a non-image statement. (180)

Such vague and metaphorical theoretical statements are characteristic of Bly, who seems reluctant to speak about technique in conventional terms. Although the group's poetry is based on the image, nowhere has Bly set down a clear definition of the image or anything resembling a manifesto of technique. And unlike other "upstart" groups writing in the shadow of Pound and Eliot, the deep image poets-including Bly, Louis Simpson, William Stafford, and James Wright-lacked the equivalent of the Black Mountain group's "Projective Verse," or even, as in the Beats' "Howl," a central important poem which critics could use as a common point of reference. This essay, then, attempts to shed some light on the mystery surrounding the deep image aesthetic. It traces the theory and practice of Robert Bly's poetic image through the greater part of his literary career thus far.
