“the wife’s lament” If the husband were to return, do you think the wife would be welcoming? Explain

English

Juliette [100K]3 years ago

Yes, I believe she would be welcoming. Even though the last part of the poem sounds like a curse ("<span>May the young man be sad-minded with hard heart-thoughts"), it is still a statement of the speaker's enduring love for him. She suffers, but imagines that he suffers too, in the exile or wherever he is, and remembers their happy days with sorrow. Her depression has elements of embitteredness, but her love for him is not disputable.</span>

Ede4ka [16]
a. use the same grammatical construction in all similar headings throughout an outline

Using the same grammatical construction in all similar headings throughout an outline is called parallel construction. Parallel construction is also known as parallelism. This means that two or more ideas has the same degree of importance in the sentence therefore it should be written or stated grammatically equal. This can also help in establishing the clarity of the idea you want to convey in the sentence. Some examples of parallelism are the following :

of loving so much
of hating too hard
of crying so long

A figure of speech based on a comparison that is not literally true is known as what?
zvonat [6]

This must be from a standardized test. The wording is a little confusing, but I'd say it is a metaphor. Google says the definition of metaphor is "a figure of speech in which a word or phrase is applied to an object or action to which it is not literally applicable." This is saying something <em>is</em> something, or comparing two items without using "as" or "like". Have a good night/day!

Do you think Baldwin's essay (notes of a native son) is about the triumph of the human spirit? Why?
Mila [183]

Yes, in one way, the essay makes you think of the strength of human spirit when it endures severe situations.

James Baldwin “Notes of a Native Son” refers to racial issues in America. The topic of the story shows how Baldwin goes through a cycle of events. He contemplates the death of his stepfather, his youngest sister’s birth, his nineteenth birthday, and race problems in Harlem. The events and the way they presented makes Baldwin wonder about the spirit of human nature and what it needs to endure to live by.  

Baldwin explores the bitterness and suffering of black Americans while remembering his father’s mental health. Baldwin thinks he can inherit the paranoia that affected his father and questions himself the way trauma is passed through generations.
