<span>How did Seamus Heaney incorporate Old English poetry elements in this modern translation?
</span>His punctuation copies the half-lines used in Old English poetry.
In Old English poetry, one often used half-lines. This means that each line of poetry was split into two half-lines, and in each of these half-lines there were two strongly stressed words, often with the purpose of giving musicality to the poem. Heaney follows this half-line pattern in his modern translation.

How did increased trade influence the golden age of islam

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

B. It brought the discovery of the Chinese papermaking process.

Explanation:

With the spread of trade, Islamic countries could get more familiar with the outside world and other nations, influence them, and in turn be influenced by them. The Chinese had one of the biggest influences on them with their invention of paper and writing on it. Now, Islamic religious laws could be written down and paper and spread throughout countries to educate people on their religion.

I don't see how checks or medicine would influence religion, and arabesques already existed in the Islamic world.

Why does Wiesel describe so little of the time period between his fathers death and the liberation of Buchenwald

LiRa [457]

Throughout the horrors of his captivity, Wiesel states that he needed to be strong for his father. He needed to survive for his father. After his father's death, he no longer feels as though he has anything to live for. It can be assumed that he no longer paid attention to the world around him. His lack of detail about that is due to the fact that he no longer cared about what was going on.
