Answer:
The purpose of these lines is to express love by likening a loved one to a nice day.
Explanation:
Shakespeare's "Sonnet 18" expresses admiration for a young person - many say it is a young man, but the sonnet itself does not make it clear who the speaker is addressing. The speaker compares this "fair youth" to a summer's day, but this person is more temperate, more lovely. While summer can be filled with extremes - sun shining too hot or too dim; rough winds -, the addressed person is more pleasant. While summer does not last long, this person's beauty shall last forever, immortalized in this sonnet, read about by people in years and years to come. The purpose of the sonnet is to express love and admiration for this person; the comparison with the summer's day is a tool that serves that purpose.
Answer:
Hurston describes herself as a brown bag among white, yellow, and red bags. Each bag has a jumble of contents both marvelous and ordinary, such as a “first-water diamond” or a “dried flower or two still a little fragrant.” The differently colored bags are Hurston's central metaphor for her mature understanding of race.
Hey there,
Your question states: <span>Which best defines a narrative poem?
Your correct answer would be "</span>A poem that tells a story" because as you read poems, it's not really in any perspective. So a narrative poem <span>is a form of </span>poetry<span> that tells a story.
Hope this helps.

The four parts of the above excerpt from W. W. Jacobs's "The Monkey's Paw" which shows that the White family doubts the Major's story are:
1.) "Sounds like the 'Arabian Nights,'” said Mrs. White, as she rose and began to set the supper. "Don't you think you might wish for four pairs of hands for me."
2.) "If the tale about the monkey's paw is not more truthful than those he has been telling us," said Herbert, as the door closed behind their guest, just in time to catch the last train, "we shan't make much out of it."
3.) "Likely," said Herbert, with pretended horror. "Why, we're going to be rich, and famous and happy. Wish to be an emperor, father, to begin with; then you can't be henpecked."
4.) Mr. White took the paw from his pocket and eyed it dubiously. "I don't know what to wish for, and that's a fact," he said, slowly. "It seems to me I've got all I want."
When the Major told the story about the Monkey's paw to the White Family they didn't trust the story. It was for them a tale which can never happen in real life. The conversation between Mr. and Mrs. White regarding the Monkey's paw had a humorous approach. Their son Herbert was also excited to test the reality of the paw and become rich by making a wish from it.
