Why does the author use personification in stanza 4 ? in annabel lee

English
1 answer:
Aleksandr [31]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The author uses personification in Stanza 4 <u>to point out that the death of Annabel Lee was something he could not prevent from happening.</u>

Explanation:

Personification is a figure of speech in which human traits and characteristics are given to inanimate object.

In <em>Annabel Lee</em>, Poe writes about the death of a beautiful woman. The speaker expresses sadness over her death, describing their deep love. In Stanza 4, the speaker states: <em>“the wind came out of the cloud by night,/ Chilling and killing my Annabel Lee”</em>

By writing that the wind killed his Annabel Lee, the speaker wants to point out that her death was inevitable, and not something he could influence or change. Later in the poem, he states that the angels must have been jealous of their love and thus caused the wind to take Annabel Lee from him.

oee [108]
Working in a fast production line requires not only physical strength and quick reflexes but presence of mind. In instances when the operating machine jams, you need to decide quickly to either temporarily pause the production and call an expert to fix the machine to avoid further delays or fix the machine by yourself. The first option is the more sensible one.

$39.10. 
First, you multiply the $46.00 by .15 (when converting the percentage to a decimal).
When multiplied, you get 6.90.
Lastly, subtract the 6.90 from the $46.00 to get $39.10
