Answer & Explanation:

A lyric poem focuses on the emotions and feelings of the poet. This is different than the narrative poem and the epic. In epic poetry, the focus is on some hero who has to accomplish seemly superhuman feats in order to survive and complete his heroic journey. For example, in the Odyssey, Odysseus has the brave so many incredible obstacles, including the sirens, the cyclops, and Scylla order to safely return home. The narrative poem is written in metered verse and tells a story using characters. Often this type of poetry is designed with musicality in mind, so meters are important. By contrast, a lyric poem does not have a hero who faces superhuman challenges or meters as the most important element. Instead, this poem relies on the emotions and feelings of the poet and has a point of view.

Poetry is a literary form that combines the precise meanings of words with their emotional associations and musical qualities.


There are three main types of poetry:

Lyric - a short poem that expresses the thoughts and feelings of a single reader

Narrative - a poem that tells a story; includes epics and ballads

Dramatic - a poem that presents the speech of one or more speakers in a dramatic situation

*This following stanza is an excerpt from a lyric poem by John Clare.

I hid my love when young till I 

Couldn't bear the buzzing of a fly; 

I hid my love to my despite 

Till I could not bear to look at light: 

I dare not gaze upon her face 

But left her memory in each place; 

Where'er I saw a wild flower lie 

I kissed and bade my love good-bye. 

His thoughts and feelings stand out by the use of repetition (by repeating "I hid my love")

*The following excerpt is from Edgar Allen Poe's poem, The Raven. In this poem, the narrator experiences a conflict between the desire to forget and the desire to remember.

Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,

Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore—

    While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,

As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.

“’Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door—

            Only this and nothing more.”


The differences between the two poems are that Clare's poem expresses his own thoughts and feelings. No one else speaks in first-person either than him. It is short and very expressive as well.

In contrast, Edgar Allen Poe's poem tells a story. The poem has a theme and characters. This poem is immediately distinguishable from other poems as a narrative because of the first words "once upon."

Answer:

"Cyclopes have no muster and no meeting,

no consultation or old tribal ways,

but each one dwells in his own mountain cave

dealing out rough justice to wife and child,

indifferent to what the others do. . . ."

Explanation:

The above statement is how the lives of Cyclopes differs from the lives of Odysseus and his men. <em>For the Odysseus men, they have families and children. Also they have tribal ways and traditions which they always maintain.</em>

Answer:

Types of Weather

Weather is the state of the atmosphere at a given place and time in regards to heat, cloudiness, dryness, sunshine, wind, and rain. Weather can vary greatly and largely depends on climate, seasons, and various other factors.

Most people find sunny days pleasant. With the absence of clouds, the sun is able to shine through and provide warmth. A sunny day doesn't always mean it's warm, though. Cold temperatures and wind can be present on sunny days.

On a cloudy day, the sun's rays are blocked from reaching Earth's surface. However, it can still be warm on a cloudy day because cloud cover can trap in heat near the ground. Almost always, rain is associated with clouds. A cloud is nothing more than a large mass of water vapor. As the temperature drops, the water vapor in the cloud cools and coalesces into raindrops.

Windy days are primarily formed as a warm air mass rises upward and cold air rushes in to fill the vacuum. Wind gusts also form as air is pushed into smaller and smaller spaces. For example, Chicago is infamous for this; the Windy City gets its nickname because of air rushing in from Lake Michigan. The rushing wind gets funneled into narrow paths throughout the city, causing strong wind gusts to blow.

Snow forms in a way similar to rain. As the temperature drops, water vapor in the clouds turns into snowflakes. Once heavy enough, the cloud will not be able to hold the snow anymore, and it will begin to fall to the ground.
