In "Embers of Moonlight", the Moon goes from being a grand, shining ivory figure to crumbling into a pile of shimmering dust. This progression is shown throughout the poem, as the moon becomes see-through and faded. This process depicts the moon dying as a part of the Night of Rebirth.

At the beginning of the story, the speaker tells us that the moon was sitting on her roof. The moon is personified as a woman with an ivory dress. She is patient, with willowy arms and legs and a pallid luminescence. However, after the speaker closes her eyes and opens them again, the moon appears to have a wrinkly face. Her arms are full of veins. Finally, the moon starts to dim. She is only a fading image towards the end.

From the poem Ithaka, ''What does the speaker say will make the traveler wealthy?''

Fantom [35]

Answer:

The speaker says that the experience of going through the long journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Explanation:

Constantine Cavafy's poem "Ithaka" is an allegorical poem about the journey of Odysseus and his decade-long journey to get back home to Ithaca. The poem draws inspiration and alludes to that epic journey, but talks more in a generalized sense of getting knowledge through the journey.

The speaker "advises" that every man must go through a journey like Odysseus in order to get to one's own "Ithaka" or in this sense, one's life end or goal. "Ithaka" here is a metaphor for the personal goal of a person/ individual. And to him, the lifelong travel through numerous 'obstacles', the memories, the experience of the journey will make the traveler wealthy.

Wise as you will have become, so full of experience,

you will have understood by then what these Ithakas mean.

According to the poet, it is not the physical wealth that will make the traveler rich but rather the experiences and life lessons he will have learned along the way, that will make him wealthy.

Would it be good or bad to stay a child forever ?

Ipatiy [6.2K]

Most people would probably say good because you would be filled with energy and youth forever but on the downside you'd also miss out on a lot of things adults get to do.

I would personally say bad because instead of being stuck in school or having to listen to your parents you could find your dream job, spend time with friends, travel, etc. You can't get a job as a child until you're 16 but you are still under your parents control. So I think that it would be bad.

How this helps! :)

Read the sentence below and use context clues to determine the meaning of the word enthralled: I thought I would be bored by the

ycow [4]

"I thought I would be bored by the Shakespeare play, but I was enthralled the whole time"

this is the correct use of the word enthralled as enthralled means to excite and captive the attention of someone or thing, and as you can see in the sentence that he was originally expecting to hate the play, but he uses the word "but" which negates the previous statement and presumably anything followed by the but would be along the lines of him actually liking the play

The pit abd the pendulum who rescues the narrator from prison ?

Brut [27]

The Pit and the Pendulum is a short story written by Edgar Allan Poe. The narrator is rescued from his prison by the rats in his prison cell. The narrator is sentenced to death in an era where the most heinous tortures are thought up. His captors keep him drugged by putting a sedative in his water. Then they bind him with bandages from head to toe and place a huge razor sharp pendulum over him. As the pendulum swings back and forth, it moves closer and closer to him, ready to slice him in half. There are rats running around his cell. His captors have also placed spicy food nearby for him to eat. He panics at first but then gathers his thoughts and smears the bandages with the food. The rats run over him and chew through the bandages.
