[30 Pts] Please help ASAP!!! (Poem at the bottom)

English
1 answer:
fredd [130]4 years ago

The speaker addresses an unknown listener, telling him not to "go gentle into that good night."

At first this is a puzzling metaphor but, by the end of line 3, we realize that the speaker is using night as a metaphor for death: the span of one day could represent a man's lifetime, which makes the sunset his approaching demise.

"That good night" is renamed at the end of line 2 as the "close of day," and at the end of line 3 as "the dying of the light." It's probably not an accident that the metaphor for death keeps getting repeated at the end of the lines, either. Or that the two rhyming words that begin the poem are "night" and "day."

So what does the speaker want to tell us about death? Well, he thinks that old men shouldn't die peacefully or just slip easily away from this life. Instead, they should "burn and rave," struggling with a fiery intensity.

From your working definition of "language," is the commonly referred-to concept of "body language" really a language? Why or why
artcher [175]

I would argue that body language is really a language. The definition of language is a typically human ability to communicate through complex systems. How one's body "speaks" is certainly a complex form of communication. Our body's communicate through shape and proximity, if we feel uncomfortable, we make ourselves smaller and closed in for comfort and safety. We also physically step back away from dangerous or uncomfortable situations because of our instincts of fight-or-flight. If we are engaged, we lean in and are open in our positioning. If we are romantically inclined to someone, we will positions ourselves as close as possible to the person and make ourselves open, even our feet will point to them. Other people can view our body and see how we are truly reacting. While we may be verbally speaking one thing, our body actually "says" the truth.

I think that the options you have are gloom, temptation, forgiveness and suspicion. The option that you are looking for is gloom which is more inclined to a depressed environment with those words.
