Answer:

They show readers that the speaker once was strong but now is weak.

Explanation:

Elizabeth Barrett Browning's "Sonnet 11" is all about the speaker's attempts at coming to terms with who she really is. Accepting her flaws and the person she is constitutes the core of this poem.

The speaker had always berated herself, thinking low of herself. This poem deals with how she is walking on the path of self acceptance. She is learning, finding the courage to believe in herself and not comparing herself with others. The excerpt provided is taken from the lines 5 till 8, where she tells of how she used to be melancholy and sad, beating herself over her own insecurities. With the allusion to Aornus, Alexander the Great's last seige, she is implying that she has become weak, unable to even compose poems.

Answer:

The correct answer is A. Outward appearances can be deceiving.

Explanation:

In the quote, we can see that Frankenstein's monster (if we should call him that) tells us how he is harmless and can even be beneficial (meaning, helpful, useful), but all people choose to see is his appearance rather than what's inside.

Namely, Doctor Frankenstein brought a corpse back to life and thus created his monster. Obviously, a reanimated corpse looks scary and people often cannot see beyond the physical, which is something the monster is lamenting in the quote above. He says that even though he may look like a monster, his characteristics are not monstrous, and that people shouldn't read the book by its cover (in other words, outward appearances can be deceiving).

There is a pdf found on the web. I recommend you to simply type in the name of the book and the author. You will get a lot of results but you simply have to filter the ones that will be useful to you. Use google, in my opinion it is the best search engine. There is yahoo and bing.

I hope it helps, Regards.<span />
