Which lines in these excerpts from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice are examples of free indirect speech? 1. Within a short wal

k of Longbourn lived a family with whom the Bennets were particularly intimate. Sir William Lucas had been formerly in trade in Meryton, where he had made a tolerable fortune, and risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty. The distinction had perhaps been felt too strongly. It had given him a disgust to his business, and to his residence in a small market town; and, in quitting them both, he had removed with his family to a house about a mile from Meryton, denominated from that period Lucas Lodge, where he could think with pleasure of his own importance, and, unshackled by business, occupy himself solely in being civil to all the world. For, though elated by his rank, it did not render him supercilious; on the contrary, he was all attention to everybody. By nature inoffensive, friendly, and obliging, his presentation at St. James's had made him courteous. 2. He was quite young, wonderfully handsome, extremely agreeable, and, to crown the whole, he meant to be at the next assembly with a large party. Nothing could be more delightful! To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained. "If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield," said Mrs. Bennet to her husband, "and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for."

Answer:

1. And risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty.

2. To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained.

Explanation:

Free Indirect Speech is typically used when the reporting clause is omitted and It lacks introductory expressions like "he said, he replied, he asked, etc." And It also avoid quotation marks.

The following sentences are examples of <em>Free Indirect Speech:</em>

<em>1. And risen to the honour of knighthood by an address to the king during his mayoralty.</em>

<em>2. To be fond of dancing was a certain step towards falling in love; and very lively hopes of Mr. Bingley's heart were entertained. </em>

We can see the use of <em>Direct Speech</em> in the following sentences:

<em>1. "If I can but see one of my daughters happily settled at Netherfield," said Mrs.</em>

<em>2. "and all the others equally well married, I shall have nothing to wish for."</em>

Marvell's poem is in fact an argument consisting of three logically related points. In at least 150 words, identify each point a
Dafna1 [17]

According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell.

In this poem, the author talks about the ephemeral nature of life and the need to live each day to the fullest. However, he does so in several different ways.

Marvell presents three related arguments. The first arguments is introduced with the lines: <em>"Had we but World enough, and Time,/This coyness Lady were no crime." </em>The poem argues that, if time was unlimited, there would be no need to rush our love, or indeed, any of our decisions. We would have unlimited time to do anything, and to take as long as we want doing it. In this case, there would be nothing wrong with postponing satisfaction.

The author introduces the second idea with the lines:<em> "But at my back I always hear/Times winged chariot hurrying near:/And yonder all before us lye/Desarts of vast Eternity." </em>In these lines, the author provides contrast with the first section. He tells us that, in reality, we do not have unlimited time. We are always moving towards death, and end. And that refusing to enjoy life's pleasures will only result in us missing out on everything the world has to offer.

The final idea of the poem comes with the lines <em>"Now therefore, while the youthful hew/Sits on thy skin like morning dew."</em> In this last section, the author urges the "coy mistress" to follow her impulses, seize the day, and live life the way she wants to while she is young, regardless of the limitations society imposes on her.
