Answer:

The mast looks like it imprisons the moon, like the British imprison the colonists.

Explanation:

According to a different source, these are the options that come qith this question:

  • The British ship is a phantom, like the moon, that cannot be imprisoned.
  • The night is a prison to everyone, the British, the colonists, and even the ship.
  • The mast looks like it imprisons the moon, like the British imprison the colonists.
  • The Somerset is sailing away from the bay, fighting for its freedom.

This refers to the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by  Henry Wadsworth Longfellow. In this poem, the author describes the famous ride of Paul Revere, where he managed to warn the colonists of the fact that the British were coming. When the author describes how the mast of the British ship imprisons the moon, this is intended to be a symbol of how the colonists are also imprisoned by the British.

ESSAY
Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

There is an old question that has entertained the minds of many thinkers who look to art and wonder whether it is a mirror offering a reflection of life itself. Art has the power to evoke the same emotions, thoughts, moral and ethical controversies, and conflicts that we experience in life. Anyone who has had a personal reaction towards a work of art will be in agreement. What is it then about the essence of art and the essence of life that are so unmistakably different? Is it a possibility that art gives humans the opportunity to experience phenomena that are not accessible in quotidian life? Is art merely an imitation of life as Plato once asserted with such conviction, or is art a freestanding sphere in which humans can learn in exceptional ways? Through the deliberation of such questions the artist can perhaps move closer towards understanding his tremendous capacity to illustrate our existence in a distinct and remarkable way.

The Greek philosopher Plato declared the artist to be “an imitator of images and is very far removed from the truth” (Republic X, 27). Plato was certain that art was nothing but a dangerous and shallow imitation of life that served only to draw humans far away from the Truth. This unique concept of ‘Truth’ refers to the idea that the purest existence of any given thing lies not in the physical manifestation of the thing itself, but rather in its invisible and eternal ‘Form’. Let us take an example of a table vs. The Table. Any given table is a table that has been modeled after the eternal form of The Table. Somewhere in an otherworldly domain, alongside all the other eternal forms of the universe, exists the One and Only Table in all its truth, purity, and Tablehood. The carpenter may look towards but not at the Form of the Table (or else the carpenter would be God and at which point probably no longer a carpenter) in order to produce, or ‘mimic’ a lesser yet sufficient model of The Eternal Table. In a similar way the artist can be compared to the carpenter, only deserving of less respect according to Plato. The artist does not look to the Form of Beauty, say, but rather looks to the physical image or projection of Beauty. This removes him even further from Truth than any other ordinary laborer. The artist is in this way an imitator, and art is a ‘mimesis’ or imitation of the visual display of Eternal Forms such as Beauty. Consequently it is Plato’s persuasion that art as a mere impression of life is detrimental to the inner soul and its understanding of righteous Truths.
