VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago

In the poem "<em>The Second Coming</em>"  written by William Yeats, the author explores Anarchy and chaotic scenarios where things fall apart and order can only be reestablished by the return of <em>Jesus Christ</em> on earth.

When the author uses the phrase "<em>The ceremony of innocence is drowned</em>" he refers to a set of circumstances of violence, brutality and horror caused by what he calls "<em>a loose blood dimmed tide</em>" which suffocates purity and freshness, describing a cataclysm; worthy of resemblance to biblical passages of events involving destruction on a catastrophic scale such as Noah’s flood, or the total and final destruction of the world, described in the book of Revelation as "<em>The Apocalypse</em>".

The poem seems to be the author's emotional release after the presumable trauma of <em>World War I</em> around that time in Europe, since it was written in 1919.

It's an evident appeal to a Christian concept in seek of spiritual refreshment as a cathartic method to purge his likely repressed emotions in the post-war environment.

4. Which statement best explains the use of
Mariulka [41]

Answer: Most likely B, A dream, like a child, can be hurt if treated too roughly.

Explanation:

Personification is the act of comparing an inanimate object to something animate. For example, "The tree danced" Trees cant dance, but they can blow around from side to side in wind. So instead of saying the tree's leaves were affected by the wind or any other thing, you could at a poetic element and say it danced.

Valentin [98]
And it doesn't take place in England. Instead, the action happens in the land of the Danes (what is today the nation of Denmark) and the land of the Geats (what is today the nation of Sweden). So, if someone asks you what the setting of Beowulf<span> is, you can tell them that it's 5th or 6th Century Scandinavia.</span>

Why can't Telemachus string the bow on his fourth try? Odysseus waves him off. His strength fails him. He wants to give the suit
ankoles [38]
I believe that the best answer for this question is "Odysseus waves him off." After he tries four times, it appears as though Telemachus might actually succeed in stringing the bow, but the beggar (who is Odysseus in disguise) waves him off and attempts to do it instead. Telemachus obliges to the beggar and gives the bow to the next individual in line. Hope this helps.
