According to Edgar Allan Poe in "The Philosophy of Composition", Why are long poems a problem when it comes to "Unity of Impress

ion"?
A) Because they have to be read in more than one sitting, which breaks up the effect.
B) Because they contain so much imagery and symbolism, which becomes overwhelming.
C) Because they are essentially several poems in one, which means there is not unity.
D) Because they become harder to find rhymes for, which ruins the overall mood.

A, because they have to be read in more than one sitting, which breaks up the effect. 

To quote him, <span>“If any literary work is too long to be read in one sitting, we must be content to dispense with the immensely important effect derivable from unity of impression.” 

Hope this helps!</span>

Which of the following most likely functions as the exposition in a story?
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

The option that would most likely function as the exposition in a story is:

A. We had been working for months to restore the house to its original glory.

Explanation:

<u>The exposition of a story is the moment when the author sets the stage for what is going to happen. In other words, it functions as the introduction of the story, where we get to know the setting, the characters, and begin to understand the context in which the plot will unfold.</u>

Therefore, the exposition should present information that will be developed, that is, introductory information. When we analyze the options given in the question, we can see that B, C, and D are more likely to be used in other moments in the story. They demand context. If they were the very first sentence in a story, for instance, we would be taken aback, having no idea what is going on. Why is Shannon trying to go from the raft to the boat? What project is she talking about - and who is she, for that matter? What contest is this and who is talking about it?

<u>Now, option A sounds much more like an introduction. We do not know who the speaker is yet, but now we know that he/she and someone else have been working on renovating a house. It is easy to see that this piece of information will be further developed: we will be told who the speaker is, whose house it is, etc.</u>

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
UNO [17]

Elizabeth, in her poem, describes her feelings when catching the fish. She gives a very detailed description of the fish while showing an imagist style while doing so.

For example, she uses the following phrases:

"its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age".

She did not use a rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality like many poets used to do. Instead, she uses 'alliteration' to create rhythm. Such quality consists of repeating the same sound or letter at the beginning of each or most of the words in a sentence.

"still crimped from the strain and snap".

"still crimped from the strain and snap".
