Read and analyze "When I heard the Learn'd Astronomer" by Walt Whitman. What Romantic ideas does it express, and how does the st

ructure of the poem reinforce the meaning?
When I heard the learn’d astronomer;
When the proofs, the figures, were ranged in columns before me;
When I was shown the charts and the diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them;
When I, sitting, heard the astronomer, where he lectured with much applause in the lecture-room,
How soon, unaccountable, I became tired and sick;
Till rising and gliding out, I wander’d off by myself,
mystical moist night-air, and from time to time,
Look’d up in perfect silence at the stars.

He shows that just being educated and knowing how things work does not mean that you truly and deeply understand and enjoy nature. Scientific explanations remove the magic that nature can have and explaining a star can never be as great as observing stars during a night. That is what Whitman is trying to say.

What are the meanings of below given sentences
Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

1. I have my car fixed.

- This is not the correct way to write this. It would make sense if it was "I am going to have my car fixed." However, the word "have" is present tense. That means you are currently having your car being fixed.

2. I had my car fixed.

- This is the correct way to write this. The word "had" is past tense. That means you already fixed your car.

Explanation:

Remember that "have" is a helping verb, and "had" is the past participle. "Have" is a present form while "had" is the past form.

How could an adaptation change the theme of an older story? Check all that apply.
MArishka [77]

The theme gives the central idea of the story. Adaptation changes the theme of the story, by reinforcing the element that supports and makes the older stories weaker and by changing the elements. Thus, options 3, 5, and 6 are correct.

<h3>What is adaptation?</h3>

Story adaptation is the way of retelling the old story, based on an already existing story.  It alters the theme of the older stories by the use of reinforcing elements that support the meaning of the older stories.

The use of the reinforcing elements in the stories weakens the older stories and by changing the elements the theme and the meaning of the story get altered.

Therefore, the adaptation changes the theme.
