In the poem "Heat," what is the speaker asking for?

1 answer:

3 0

In this Poem, "Heat" by H.D., the speaker -from whom we don't know much- describes an Imagist poem - a really precise, tight and sonically dense poem. We can find some sounds repetitons -'heat' and 'rend' which are present in all over the first stanza; filled with alliteration (the first stanza in 'fruit cannot fall') and consonance (the third stanza in 'cut apart the heat'). All this resources create short, concise and pretty intense evocative images, which means that it doesn't have a regular rhyme scheme or meter.

The poem is not explicit about setting, but what we do know is that the weather is pretty hot. The speaker refers to a hot, humid and stifling environment which leads the audition to call on the wind for relief.

For all these clues descripted, I can asure this poem talk about and ask for 'a breeze' that, as I previously said, would bring relief to the hot weather.

what would be an example of foreshadowing in a story about a girl who fails to get a part in a play she wants

snow_lady [41]

Foreshadowing is a literary device in which an author hints at what is coming later in the story. It helps the reader develop expectations about the upcoming events, and therefore, it of often used at the beginning of a story or chapter. It also creates an atmosphere of suspense, so that readers become more interested in it. Foreshadowing can be achieved through various means, such as character dialogues, plot events and changes in setting.

For example, in a story about a girl who fails to get a part in a play, a way to foreshadow the event would be through the character's thoughts. Perhaps she is very nervous and she is convinced she will fail before the audition, so that we know it is a very likely outcome that that will happen. Narration is another method. A narrator could tell you, before her audition, something about how "she did not know how disastrous that day would turn out to be," therefore implying that she will not get the part.

Could you guide me property change into passive voice

Passive voice would be- Could I be guided by you properly?

Passive voice-
A grammatical voice construction found in many languages is the passive voice construction. The grammatical subject expresses the theme or patient of the main verb in a clause with passive voice - that is, the person or thing that undergoes the action or has its state changed.

Example of passive voice

When a verb acts on the subject of a sentence, it is in the passive voice. In "The ball was thrown by the pitcher," for example, the ball (the subject) receives the verb's action and was thrown is in the passive voice.

Passive voice formula

The verbs used in a sentence determine the passive voice. The passive verb phrase formula is form of "be" verb + past participle. Although this is not always the case, the passive voice is typically marked in a sentence with "by" before the performer of the action.
