Answer: When Romeo first lays his eyes on Juliet he instantly is in awe of her beauty and breaks into a sonnet in order to portray the intensity of his feelings. He describes her as a star against the darkness which is an insight on their starstruck relationship.

The wording chosen by the author allows us to empathize with their characters and their intense love for one another, for example, the following  ''Did my heart love till now? Forswear it, sight''.

Also ''For I ne'er saw true beauty till this night''  is meant to highlight his admiration for her out of this world gorgeousness.

Why did the hat have a cloth sewn on the back of it? (Holes Book)
ahrayia [7]

The hat had a cloth sewn into its back to protect its wearer's head.

<h3>Why was this protection necessary?</h3>
  • Because the hat had holes.
  • Because without the cloth the hat let the sun through its frame.

The hat had holes, which prevented its bearer's head from being protected from the sun. For this reason, a cloth was sewn into the back of the hat, to prevent its owner's head from being exposed to the sun.

Mumz [18]

Answer:

B. Lenore was the speaker’s lover but she has recently died.

Explanation:

In the narrative poem "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe, the speaker/ narrator of the poem is in heartbreaking and lonely mood, who was still in the mourning phase of his life. He was in "<em>sorrow for the lost Lenore</em>" who had died recently, leaving him devastated and unable to move on.

The visit by the raven at night makes him more distraught, continuously thinking of his Lenore and if by any chance, there is "<em>a sainted maiden whom the angels name Lenore</em>". He could not stop thinking about his lost love. Thus, the character of Lenore is the speaker's lover who had died recently.
