<span>In this poem by William Blake the lamb symbolizes
innocence.
This poem belongs to Blake's collection of poems, "Songs of Innocence", and the same iconographic elements that are used in Christianity can be found; the lamb
represents innocence, sacrifice and Jesus on the cross to free humanity from sin.
Blake questions the little lamb if it knows who or what has created it, telling
it that it was God’s will that brought it to life. </span>
Answer:
The statement which best describes the similarity between these versions is:
B. Both versions impart setting details through colorful description.
Explanation:
H. G. Wells was an English author (1866-1946) who wrote the famous novel "War of the Worlds," in which martians invade the Earth. As we know, the novel was adapted and broadcast via radio in 1938 to sound as if it were news bulletins. Allegedly, some people panicked while listening to the radio, truly believing the planet was under attack. However, we now know it was not a generalized panic.
Both excerpts give a colorful, vivid description of the scene before the narrator's eyes. Word choice makes it possible for readers, in the first case, and listeners, in the second, to really see, hear, or even feel the same things as the narrator. With the first excerpt, we can see the person who fell into the pit trying to leave it, only to slip back and then be dragged by some mysterious creature. With the second passage, we can see the cars, the police, the headlights, and finally the shadows of the people who have approached the object that fell from the sky.
<u>The </u><u>Time </u><u>Machine</u>
It was 21st June 2157 and Professor Jones was still busy with his experiments. Suddenly, his ten-year old son Tommy came into his lab and asked, "What's this? Looks like a time machine. Am I right Dad?" Mr Jones replied, "Yes, you are. My son is like me only. You guessed it right at one go." Tommy said, "Oh, that means I can go back to the Old Age. Wow! That is intriguing. I just can't wait for this journey." "Yes, you will. But not now. There are some parts which are left to be complete...Oh it's 1 pm now. Let's have our lunch." said Mr Jones and he and Tommy left the place.
An intruder came into the lab secretly. Watching the time machine, he said to himself, "Other than robbery, I have meagre knowledge about other fields. But still I bet anyone that this is a time machine. Oh, what if I go back in the 17th century? There were many monarchs at that time and they had many riches. Yeah, a good burglary. Let me execute the plan." He went inside the time machine and pressed a button, which took him back not into the 17th century, but to the Mesozoic Era. When he landed, he saw there was nothing but tall trees and fields. Then, suddenly, he saw a T-Rex coming towards him from among the trees. He cried and shouted, "Help! Help!" But you know, in the Mesozoic Era, not a single human lived, but the world was dominated by dinosaurs. So, there is no one to hear him. And the T-Rex gobbled him up! And that was the end of his robbery life.
Hope you could get an idea from here.
