Both Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s “Sonnet 14” and Pablo Neruda’s ‘Sonnet 17” discuss love in terms of negatives—things that are

not, or should not be, or that the poet does not know. Yet both poems are powerfully positive about love itself. Compare each poem’s ideas about love as they progress through the poem, including how the negatives play a part in the poem.

Both poems present love as a feeling that should not cling to anything temporary or transient. They try to tell us what love is by telling us what it shouldn't be. Browning introduces the following negatives: smile, look, gentle manners, the need for comfort. She points out that these things may pass, and wants to be loved for love's sake, as love is eternal. For Neruda, on the other hand, love is something he can't describe by likening it to particular, specific, well-known things or feelings. It is indescribable and unknowable, and therefore indefinite.

Which two details support the inference that the narrator has less money than Mrs. Flemming and her friends?
blagie [28]

Answer:

I can tell you that one of them is #3.

Explanation:

This is true because if the narrator said #3 out loud, and you could hear it, it would most likely be dripping with jealousy. You can tell by the way the sentence was written. If the narrator was also rich, then they would say something like, "Most of these women could afford the privileges of daily life". But the narrator wanted to spend less time talking about how rich these women were, so they got straight to the point. "Most of these women were rich."

Exercise 1 Circle the number in front of each complex sentence.
melamori03 [73]

"During the Civil War, Douglass wanted it known that the war was a move to abolish slavery." is a complex sentence.

A complex sentence contains one independent clause and at least one or more dependent clauses.

A dependent clause always needs another clause to make sense. In the given sentence, "During the civil war" is a dependent clause and it has no meaning when written alone.

A compound sentence contains two independent clauses. An independent clause is one that has a proper meaning without the other clause.

These independent clauses are joined together using suitable conjunction such as: and, yet, for, so, and, & many more.
