<span>The use of allusion in the title and epigraph of Nectar in a Sieve helps to emphasize the novel’s themes of loss and hope 

Nectar in a Sieve alludes to the slow drain of the life force of an individual here on earth. The nectar represents live and the sieve, since it is a sifter/filter, slowly drains the nectar until it falls to the ground and become useless.

jonny [76]

Answer: No way im writing an entire paragraph for you, but i can help with ideas. You can write about if children wear the same things over and over when they are out of school they can have less self confidence when they are not wearing a uniform, because they are so used to everyone looking alike that no one could judge them for their clothes or something like that

Which character in macbeth is least likely to equivocate,why?
Reika [66]

Explanation:

Equivocation is the use of ambiguous language to conceal the truth or to avoid committing oneself. This is used quite often in Shakespeare's play, mostly with Macbeth and Lady Macbeth when they try to hide the fact the they plan to kill King Duncan. In Act 1 Scene 7, Macbeth says, "False face must hide what the false heart doth know."

In Act 2 Scene 3, when Macduff finds the bloody corpse of King Duncan, the porter that is still drunk from drinking in the night says that he is the porter of hell and says "equivocator, that could swear in both the scales against either scale". This line is considered a reference to the book "A Treatise of Equivocation". The book was about how Catholics dealt with dangerous questions from Protestant inquisitors. If the Catholics told the Protestants that they were Catholics they would get in serious trouble and it would be a sin against God. So they decided to equivocate. The Catholic equivocators would tell the Protestants what they wanted to hear, but God would know that they would be telling the truth. This in another equivocation but doesn't necessary make it a good thing.

When Macbeth visits the witches for the apparition, the witches that are working for the devil, equivocate all their apparitions. The first one says that "armed Head", Macbeth thinks that it means beware Macduff but it actually is that Macduff in armor, head of the army will defeat Macbeth and chop his head off. The next apparition, says that, Macbeth must "Be bloody, bold, and resolute; laugh to scorn / The power of man, for none of woman born / Shall harm Macbeth". Macbeth then fears no one because everyone is born of a woman but Macduff isn't. He was ripped from his mother's womb and we find out the casarean doesn't count as born from a woman. The final apparition, says "child crowned, with tree in hand and assures Macbeth that, "Macbeth shall never vanquish'd be until / Great Birnam wood to high Dunsinane hill / Shall come against him". The child crowned means that the child of Duncan, Malcolm, will become king which happens in the end of the play. Macbeth doesn't believe that the wood and trees can move until we find out that the army uses the trees as camouflage and are able to move it.

How do these two poems differ in what they emphasize?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

B) The poet in "Old Ironsides" asks for the ship to be destroyed, while the poet in "Concord Hymn" asks that the monument stone be preserved.

Explanation:

Old Ironsides" by Oliver Wendel Holmes Sr, asks for the old ship to be destroyed or sink. We can see that the poet asks for the destruction of the ship when he says

<em>"...No more shall feel the victor's tread,</em>

<em>Or know the conquered knee;-</em>

<em>The harpies of the shore shall pluck</em>

<em>The eagle of the sea!</em>

<em> </em>

<em>O, better than her shattered hulk</em>

<em>Should sink beneath the wave;..."</em>

We can see that the old navy had its glory days, but now it is old, and it is not of use, as it was.

On the other hand, Ralph Waldo Emerson in "Concord Hymn" asks for the monument to be preserved since it is commemorating a special event. The stone monument is there to honor and remember the heroes of a battle that happened there.

We can see that the poet asks for the monument stone to be preserved when he says,

<em>"On this green bank, by this soft stream,</em>

<em>We set today a votive stone;</em>

<em>That memory may their deed redeem,</em>

<em>When, like our sires, our sons are gone.</em>

<em> </em>

<em>Bid Time and Nature gently spare</em>

<em>The shaft we raise to them and thee." </em>
