<span>Shaw’s play pygmalion differs from the original inspiration for his work primarily 
<em>(d.) </em>because Shaw used his play to comment on class structure. Shaw's intention in writing the play was to critique the society that was very patriarchal. This was written before women were allowed to vote; thus, Shaw wanted to eradicate social class and elevate the status of women. In the play he showed that manners can be learned and that language plays a very important role in social development.  </span>

To help convey meaning, poets use what elements?
Alla [95]
<span> It will certainly elicit many different responses. Style in poetry can refers to almost anything. It can refer to the way an authors uses meter. For example, if an author always uses dactylic hexameter, then it might be his style. The same can be said if a poet uses literary devices such as personification, alliteration, assonance. Style can also be non-technical. It can refer to content. If an author always uses imageries from nature, then it can be his or her style. In short, style can refer to almost any aspect of poetry as long as the author tends to do it often.
</span>

Style in poetry involves the method which a poet uses to convey meaning, tone, and emotion in his/her poem.  For instance, the meaning and significance can be conveyed through the form of a poem. Certainly, an ode or a sonnet is a more formal arrangement used more for a serious subject (unless the poet is being satirical).  Musical devices such as rhythm and rhyme are part of a poet's style.  Words, too, are often chosen for sound as well as for meaning.  An essential element is repetition which reinforces meaning while variation invites interest.  In fact, all things people enjoy have these two elements.

The arrangement of the words in a line, as well as the arrangement of lines in the entire poem both contribute to a poet's style.  Emily Dickinson, for instance, makes uses of dashes and capitalization as a stylistic device  never capitalizes any word.  These devices are used because poets wish to bring a sense and a perception of life, widening peoples' contacts with existence.  And, since poets' concern are with experience, they choose certain stylistic devices to create significant and new experiences for their readers.  In poetry, experiences can be synthesized, analyzed, enjoyed simply, etc.  But, the way in which  poets present their poems is their style.

Other stylistic devices that poets use are connotation and denotation, the suggested as well as the literal meanings of words.  Figurative language such as metaphors and similies also add more meaning and picturesque language to a phrase or word as well as creating speed to the line, for example, as alliteration does.

Calvin's story, though it centers on a congenital disability, is an upbeat story of preserverance and success. What were some of
lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

The main factor that helped Calvin overcome his disability is the support, love and dedication that his family has with him.

Explanation:

Calvin's story, is a story of a lot of struggle and perseverance, as the question above says, since Calvin besides having a very slow physical and mental development, presents violent convulsions for long periods of time, which have already hurt him a lot. In addition, the strong remedies taken by him cause other problems to arise, harming Calvin as much as his disability.

But Calvin always overcomes his problems and manages to survive despite so many crises. This survival of Calvin is a result, mainly, of his family, since Calvin is very loved and cared for by his parents, who besides providing everything he needs, give him the greatest love in the world.
