In this poem, what is the significance of the poet’s comparison of love to "childhood’s faith"?
Rama09 [41]
Well, you can analyze the poem any way you want, poetry is open to everyone's interpretation. I believe that when the poet, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, compares love to "childhood's faith," she wants to show the innocence of that love. Children have blind faith in their parents, friends, etc. and can be quite naive, the way her love is as well. However, she can also be talking about the power of her love, because a child's faith is unbreakable - it is so strong, just as much as her love. Hope this helps!

Zina [86]

Answer:

The option which the opening paragraph does the least to accomplish is:

B. immediately pull the reader into the action

Explanation:

Let's work this one out through elimination:

A. The opening paragraph DOES establish a relationship between the narrator and a character. We are immediately told they are uncle and nephew.

B. This seems to be the right choice for us. There is not a lot of action going on. We do not know what the uncle is listening for, what to expect, what is going on. This dragging creates some suspense as we wait for the action to start.

C. The opening paragraph DOES provide a sense of setting. As soon as we are told about the "cornfield" and the "breeze", we can imagine the characters are on a farm, out in the open.
