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.

How was the use of the scientific method in the Milesian school important to the development of ancient Greek philosophy?
stellarik [79]

The use of scientific methods in ancient Greek philosophy helped to inculcate reason and explore the basic principles behind the origin of matter and materials.  

<u>Explanation :</u>

The Milesian school was revolutionary as it liberated the heavenly phenomena or the organization of the world.

The school gave importance to questioning the occurrence of the phenomena observable around rather than attributing it to God’s will.

Three philosopher’s comprised the Milesian school of thought: Thales, who was the founder, Anaximander and Anaximenes.

Thales’ questioning approach towards the heavenly phenomena in order to comprehend its occurrence is thought to have initiated Greek Astronomy.  He brought the dawn of western enlightenment. He gave any theories to explain natural events.

Write a literary essay about an intercalary chapter of The Grapes of Wrath. Your essay should
olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

The structure of the novel “The Grapes of Wrath ” is unusual.

Explanation:

The structure of “The Grapes of Wrath ” by “John Steinbeck” is quite unconventional. There are narrative chapters in which the narrator is omnipresent and sees everything and is aware about all the thoughts and actions of all the characters. But, in the intercalary chapters, there is a pause in the main narrative and the narrator changes. The views on this break is mixed, some feel that it is frustrating, and the two distinct sections of the novel are not properly related, others say that this has been thoughtfully by John Steinbeck.

The characters in the novel face a lot of conflicts because they are forced to travel away from their homes to California. They migrate as farmers ion hope of achieving success during The Great Depression.

The intercalary chapters in the novel are also called the 'inner chapters', which do not directly affect John but indirectly convey the inputs on the struggles of the characters. The main reason of the intercalary chapters is to give an idea about how the world (social and economic system of the world) was during that time to the readers. Many literary techniques are applied in the “intercalary chapters”. Most common is dramatization. Use of monologues and dialogues show the historical reasons behind the events that are occurring in the story. For example, how farmers were forced so sell their lands and how drought forced the farmers to migrate to a new place. The language used in the novel, specially in the structures of King James Bible reflect about the moral beauty of the novel. These lines give the novel a spiritual touch as well.
