Problem One

Background

Science majors can get in this argument. (Then I will answer the question more directly). Researchers at the University of Hawaii estimate that the number of grains of sand on our planet is about 7.5*10^18 grains of said. This number, large as it is can be equated to the number of molecules in 20 drops of water.

The number of stars in the Universe is many millions of times larger than the grains of sand on our planet. So while the writer is holding just one of these grains of sand, the enormity of the situation strikes her, and that leads her to a very "loving" and [in my opinion] humbling thought.

She compares all of this enormity with how little we actually live, how small our lifespan seems to be. It takes real humility to thank and accept thoughts like that.

<u><em>Answer</em></u>

So the key point is contained in the last sentence beginning with "Oh how ... and ending with the period on the next line.

Problem Two

An enjambment in poetry is a continuation of a thought beyond a point where an ending should be. The first 2 lines start out by stating that perhaps it would be best if youth and life were in a trance and should not awaken until a beam of eternity should bring the marrow to a conscious state.

Even though that dream would be of a hopeless sorrow, it would be better than what we live through, to the person who lives though this without the dream.

The enjambment is contained in the thought of the second last line beginning with 'Twere better than the cold reality of waking life ...

Problem Three

I'm not going to explain this too deeply. I think it has answers in what accompanied it. I would pick Two and Three as your best 2 answers. The deep friendship shown by the kind visitor is not that common in abolitionist literature. Most of it focuses on the cruelty of the society and the greed of the landowners and the rights of the colored to be free. This is quite different. It speaks of the kindness of one person willing to break the code.

Match each figure of speech with the excerpt in which it is used.
Naily [24]

Answer:

Metaphor

But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?

It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.

Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,

Who is already sick and pale with grief,

That thou her maid art far more fair than she:

(William Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet)

Verbal irony

To sorrow

I bade good morrow

And thought to leave her far away behind

But cheerly, cheerly,

She loves me dearly;

She is so constant to me, and so kind.

I would deceive her,

And so leave her,

But ah! she is so constant and so kind.

(John Keats, “Endymion”)

Simile

The Assyrian came down like the wolf on the fold,

And his cohorts were gleaming in purple and gold;

And the sheen of their spears was like stars on the sea,

When the blue wave rolls nightly on deep Galilee.

(Lord Byron, “The Destruction of Sennacherib”)

Explanation:

A simile is a figure of speech. A simile is used for a direct comparison of two things. The comparison is made by using 'like' and 'as'.

A metaphor is a figure of speech. A metaphor is also a comparison but the comparison is made between two things which are very different for each other but posses one similarity in them.

Verbal irony is a type of irony. When the speaker means something very different from what he exactly is speaking, is said to verbal irony.
