Which statement best summarizes William Shakespeare’s Sonnet 130? My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun; Coral is far more

red than her lips' red; If snow be white, why then her breasts are dun; If hairs be wires, black wires grow on her head. I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, But no such roses see I in her cheeks; And in some perfumes is there more delight Than in the breath that from my mistress reeks. I love to hear her speak, yet well I know That music hath a far more pleasing sound; I grant I never saw a goddess go; My mistress, when she walks, treads on the ground: And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare As any she belied with false compare.
A. Sonnet 130 compares and contrasts the speaker’s mistress with beautiful elements in nature and finds her more beautiful.
B. Sonnet 130 is a traditional love sonnet with the speaker giving numerous descriptions of his mistress’s beauty and positive qualities.
C. Sonnet 130 parodies a traditional love sonnet by bringing out the flaws in the physical beauty of the mistress.
D. Sonnet 130 lists a multitude of flaws in the beauty of the mistress in order to show her in an uncomplimentary light.

The answer to this question is definitely C.

If you sent this poem to a woman and meant it to be a compliment, you'd soon get your head handed to you. In pieces.

And yet many poems were written with the words coral, white (like fresh fallen snow), hair [a really touchy subject for any man to make a comment about]. breath -- it's wonder he didn't say anything about feet.

D is wrong. He doesn't want to show her in an uncomplimentary light. He wants poets to stop using cliches.

A is wrong. What beautiful things in nature? She is not as good as any that are mentioned.

B They are not positive qualities. Not in these lines.

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

3: Scout would chew gum she found in a tree because it tasted good & it was Wrigley's double mint.

4: Jem got mad at Scout for chewing gum because it was found at the Radley place.

5: I would chew gum from the tree because I believe that the Radleys aren't as horriffic as everyone says they are.

6: I think that one of the Radleys put the gum there for kids in general, not just for Scout, whether it was mal intended or not.

7: It's not right for the kids to act out the Radleys because they have no idea what actually happened, just gossip from neighbors. It is rude to make fun of people's lives.

8.) Scout defines the term as a "strict commitment to the Baptist religion without allowing for any bending of those views in any situation," or "all enjoyment is bad."

9.) Miss Maudie is the Finches' neighbor and is one of their (the children's) good friends

10.) Jem lost his pants because the children snuck into the Radley's back yard. They got scared because they saw a shadow, and frantically trying to get out, thinking it was Boo Radley's shadow, Jem's pants got stuck and he lost them in the process.

11.) The children would snoop around the Radley's place because they wanted to catch a glimpse of Boo Radley's face.

12.)  One of the Radleys fired a gun at the children because he was aware that someone was in his back yard and it was either a child, an animal, or a negro.

13.) Jems pants showed up folded neatly and stitched up at the top of the fence

14.) The other children recieve two figures carved in soap, followed by chewing gum, a spelling bee medal, and an old pocket watch.

15.) They know the gifts are for them because the two carved figures are them.

16.) Mr. Radley plugged the knothole in the tree because the tree is dying.

what simile does elie wiesel use to describe moishe the beadle? given the information that moishe tries to share with the people
siniylev [52]

Answer:

Elie states that, "Physically, he was as awkward as a clown. His waiflike shyness made people smile. As for me, I liked his wide, dreamy eyes, gaz-ing off into the distance." I think it is ironic that the person villagers regarded as a comic figure, of no consequence, should be the messanger of their fate.
