in sonnet 130, the speaker is cynical about the usual ways of praising a beloved person. do you share the speakers attitude?
zhannawk [14.2K]

In sonnet 130, the speaker is making fun of the conventional poetry in Elizabethan England. The sonnets of that time followed the Petrarchan style, using beautiful metaphors to praise an idealised female lover, admiring her beauty and her worth.

I think that writing this sonnet, Shakespeare is mocking a style that had already become cliché at that time. Also, I share the speakers attitude in the way that the idealization of a love interest in such manner, often leads to the creation of beauty standards that are far from the truth and can have negative consequences in the people trying to adhere to them.

Trava [24]

Answer:

Lewis Carroll was the author of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland".

Explanation:

The famous children's story "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" was written by Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, under the pseudonym Lewis Carroll. He was an English writer, famous for his fantasy novels for children. This particular novel was written in 1865.

"Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" tells the story of a young English girl who fell into a tunnel and came upon a fantasy world. There, she encountered a lot of unusual creatures and worlds that fascinated her at the same time. The story also takes place with diverse and obnoxious settings, with it's characterization of many comical personas. In the fantasy world, the animals and birds are all capable of speaking and having human attributes, walking and eating together, enjoying parties and such.

With this depiction of a nonsensical world, Carroll manages to successfully bring the fun into his novels, making them enjoyable even for the adults. This story has also been adapted into movies and even succeeded immensely.

In at least 150 words, discuss the developmental phases of the main argument in "The Negro Artist and
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

In his essay "The Negro Artist and the Racial Mountain," poet Langston Hughes interprets the statement of a young African-American poet that, "I want to be a poet—not a Negro poet," to mean, "I want to write like a white poet"; this suggests he was really expressing a subconscious desire to be white.  Hughes goes on to argue that this apparent aspiration to bourgeois gentility, as embodied by the dominant Caucasian society, and the psychological cost that adherence to its constraints on creative freedom implies, is terribly damaging to the quality of the creative work and to the spiritual integrity of any African American artist who would embrace it. And it only adds insult to injury that not only does white society pressure African American artists to conform to its standards, but his own people often share the same attitude: "Oh, be respectable, write about nice people, show how good we are, . . . "
