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.

In The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell, what are three examples Rains-ford shows calmness throughout the short story
IRINA_888 [86]
Well, the first example that I can think is when Rainsford is standing on the deck of the yacht at night and he hears a gunshot. Trying to get a clearer look, Rainsford loses his balance and falls into the water. Rainsford doesn't try to swim back to the yacht (which is smart, as it would have been futile). The narrator states that "a certain coolheadedness had come to him; it was not the first time he had been in a tight place". Because he was able to stay calm, he was able to swim to Ship Trap Island. 
Later on, after General Zaroff had released Rainsford into the jungle, Rainsford kept telling himself repeatably "I must keep my nerve, I must keep my nerve". One final example is how Rainsford is able to keep calm during the hunt and think of ways to trick Zaroff. "An idea that held a wild chance came to him, and, tightening his belt, he headed away from the swamp".
