English

Alik [6]3 years ago

While traveling through the Second Ring, Dante and Virgil come across a place with many dark trees, but no actual people. They can hear voices screaming in pain, but they can't see them. Virgil tells Dante to break off a twig from one of the trees, after which the tree cries in pain and starts bleeding. Virgil then explains that all of these trees are souls of people who've hurt themselves during life, those who have willingly discarded their own bodies and committed suicide. Thus whenever the tree is hurt (a branch broken off), they feel pain as if they were dismembered.

Which element of a speech can establish tone and rhythm that engage the audience
polet [3.4K]

Answer:

The two elements that contribute to the tone of every speech are reason and emotion.

Explanation:

Whatever emotion you feel in the speech, should also be felt by the audience. So if your speech is serious, your audience should be serious. A consistent tone allows the audience to focus and for the speaker to effectively get their point across.

Harrizon [31]
The stanza evokes a peaceful sense of completion.
<span>It kindles the feeling of going home, or in a more profound way, finding rest in dying.
The “footprints in the sands” is a metaphor for the life that the speaker lived, and the “tide” is a metaphor for death, wiping away the footprints.
The last line “And the tide rises the tide falls,” implies that the speaker believes there is life after death.</span>
