The Story of an Hour uses imagery to describe the world outside Mrs. Mallard's bedroom window: "the tops of trees that were all

aquiver with the new spring life" and "patches of blue sky showing here and there through the clouds". What do you think the outside world might symbolize in Mrs. Mallard's life?
a) These descriptions of nature symbolize freedom and possibility in Mrs. Mallard's life and perhaps an "awakening" from her grief or her repressed life as a married woman. These images also suggest that Mrs. Mallard's yearning for freedom is something natural.

b) These descriptions of nature symbolize that Mr. Mallard kept Mrs. Mallard locked in her room.

c) These descriptions of nature symbolize Mr. Mallard’s love for Mrs. Mallard.

d) These descriptions of nature symbolize Mrs. Mallard’s love for her children.

The correct answer is: a) These descriptions of nature symbolize freedom and possibility in Mrs. Mallard's life and perhaps an "awakening" from her grief or her repressed life as a married woman. These images also suggest that Mrs. Mallard's yearning for freedom is something natural.

Indeed, the description mentions the “tree tops aquiver with new life”. This is a beautiful example of the pathetic fallacy, since the blossoming of nature in spring is associated with Mrs. Mallard’s awakened emotions before the possibilities of freedom. She is also quivering due to the emotional turmoil associated to her realization. The fact that spring is traditionally associated with the renewal of life after the death of winter means that the symbolism here is used to express the fact that a new life awaits Mrs. Mallard.

Furthermore, the sky is more of less gray with several “patches of blue”. This of course brings attention to the fact that her life is momentarily gray with the death of her husband but that it is gradually opening up to sunnier, blue skies of personal freedom.

Three themes of "A Minor Bird" by Robert Frost
Phantasy [73]

The theme of this poem to me personally is to do with depression. The person perceives the bird singing as a nuisance and wishes for it to go away where he’ll later come to regret the decision. Have clapped my hands at him from the door when it seemed as if i could bare no more. The person has finally gotten rid of the bird by clapping his hands because he had had enough of it.The fault must partly be in me the bird was not to blame for his key, this is the first sign of regret shown by the poet. The person would now ponder at first but later on he would come to realize that the fault was in him to silence nature, this reflects upon the last stanza “ and of course there must be something wrong in wanting to silence any song”.

This is of course just how i perceive the poem different mindsets could differ how you would put it as.

How do you write a script in first person point of view?
blondinia [14]

Answer:

In writing, the first person point of view uses the pronouns “I,” “me,” “we,” and “us,” in order to tell a story from the narrator's perspective. The storyteller in a first-person narrative is either the protagonist relaying their experiences or a peripheral character telling the protagonist's story.
