English

vovangra [49]3 years ago

Answer:

Sonnet 29 shows the poet at his most insecure and troubled. He feels unlucky, shamed, and fiercely jealous of those around him. What causes the poet's anguish will remain a mystery; as will the answer to whether the sonnets are autobiographical. 

However, an examination of Shakespeare’s life around the time he wrote Sonnet 29 reveals two traumatic events that may have shaped the theme of the sonnet. In 1592 the London theatres closed due to a severe outbreak of plague. Although it is possible that Shakespeare toured the outlying areas of London, it is almost certain that he left the theatre entirely during this time to work on his sonnets and narrative poems. The closing of the playhouses made it hard for Shakespeare and other actors of the day to earn a living. With plague and poverty looming it is expected that he would feel "in disgrace with fortune"

Which sentence contains a properly punctuated and capitalized direct quotation?
nydimaria [60]
The sentence which contains a properly punctuate and capitalized direct quotation is C. "Watch how that hummingbird flits from flower to flower," said Diane. Quotation marks always go around the dialogue when writing a direct quote. Capitalization rules still apply much in the same way as they do in regular sentence writing, in that you must capitalize the first letter of the first word at the beginning of a sentence. Punctuation that separates the quote from the speaker must be included with the quotation marks to show that there is a separation.

________ feature stories usually have creative openings.
Valentin [98]

The answer is option letter B (heartfelt). Feature stories not only convey facts but also narrate the story of someone’s life. In order to fulfill that purpose, the writer uses background information, quotes, and anecdotes. If the actions and emotions described in a feature story are very sincere, that is heartfelt, it will allow the writer to make up a creative opening full of anecdotes and memories for it. In fact, a creative opening will call the reader’s attention and make him/her want to read more features stories.
