What is the rhyme scheme in the buried life?

English

“The Buried Life” is a ninety-eight-line poem divided into seven stanzas of varying length with an irregular rhyme scheme. A monologue in which a lover addresses his beloved, the poem yearns for the possibility of truthful communication with the self and with others.

The first line evokes the banter of a loving couple, but it is immediately checked by the deeply sad feelings of the speaker. Troubled by a sense of inner restlessness, he longs for complete intimacy and hopes to find it in his beloved’s clear eyes, the window to her “inmost soul.”

As the second stanza suggests, not even lovers can sustain an absolutely open relationship or break through the inhibitions and the masks that people assume in order to hide what they really feel. Yet the speaker senses the possibility of greater truth, since all human beings share basically the same feelings and ought to be able to share their most profound thoughts.

In a burst of emotion, expressed in two intense lines, the speaker wonders whether the same forces that prevent people from truly engaging each other must also divide him and his beloved.

The fourth stanza suggests that direct contact is possible only in fugitive moments, when human beings suddenly are aware of penetrating the distractions and struggles of life and realize that their apparently random actions are the result of the “buried stream,” of those unconscious drives that motivate human...

you are a computer addict, and this has affected your studies. So you have decided to write a letter to your pen-friend to ask h
Effectus [21]

Hi  (name of your pen-friend)

Hope you're doing well. I really have a problem and need your help. I realized not so long ago (that) I was addicted to computers and of course the Internet. At first I was going on the Internet for my homework, but now, I spend my time on it. I used to read books, go to the movie, listen to music..

I go on social networks, read the news on the Internet, knowing that there are a lot of lies.. you know what I mean.. that kind of news becoming virtual.. but I just can't help it. I made virtual friends.. which is ridiculous.. I do have true friends. They don't understand why I always find an excuse not to be with them...

I spend my nights on the computer, on the Internet, playing online, chatting with people I don't really care about ...

My computer is becoming a golden cage .....  but it's all fake !! I loved going out with my friends, to parties, to the stadium or whatever..  It's all finished... they're going to let me down if I don't wake up !!

I told you I had good marks, I was doing well at school.. Well, not anymore ... I didn't pass the last exams.. I still want to be a doctor.. but I really have to wake up ...

I could have sent you an email.. but, my first step was to write a letter to you and not hurry on my computer.

Everything seems easier with a keyboard and a screen, but it's like being in a jail when you become addicted to it ..

So please help me to get out of this stupid addiction I'm getting into..

Don't let me down. I became a disappointment for my parents, my friends and myself ...

I really want to stop and be back in a "normal" life.. I mean everybody's life and mine. I don't want my dreams being a doctor to go away ..

I know you won't judge me and will give me good advice and help me to wake up !!

Thank's for everything... so long

nfer what the narrator means by “her casual whim.” What can you infer about the direction of Dexter’s future from the narrator’s
Amanda [17]

Answer:

The narrator emphasized the phrase "by her casual whim" because<u> it shows how Judy could let Dexter do anything for her.</u>

So, this shows what will happen to Dexter's future that Judy could just let him do what she wanted, especially that Judy asked him to attend the dinner the following day.

Explanation:

The question above is related to the story entitled "Winter Dreams," which was written by<em> F. Scott Fitzgerald.</em>

Before mentioning the phrase "by her casual whim," Judy and Dexter met again. This time, Judy asked Dexter whether he could drive the motorboat so she could surf while being driven behind it. As Judy demanded him to go faster,<em> Dexter obediently did as he was told</em>. This shows how Dexter fell for Judy and that he could just ask him whatever she wanted.
