For what reason does Shakespeare commonly choose to write in iambic pentameter

1 answer:

6 0

An iambic pentameter is a metric line where one stressed syllable is followed by one unstressed syllable. (the pattern is something like this:Λ_Λ_Λ_ where Λ stands for the stressed syllable)

Shakespeare is an author who used it extensively in his poetry and it is believed that he actually established the use of iambic pentameter . He chooses to write in it because it copies the sounds of natural human speech, even the rhythm of a human heartbeat.

Before we would answer the question, we must first define what American Gothic Fiction is. The specific genre of gothic fiction is commonly defined as a type of literature wherein it mainly revolves around the contrast between rational and irrational ideals. In addition, the answer would be "He introduces the mysterious event of a corpse looking happy and lovely."

Answer:

I watched from the end of the garage as two kids walked to the workbench. “I hate your board, it's too small, the axles are loose and the wheels are horrible”, the girl said to the boy as he sheepishly handed the skateboard to her. The woman angrily tore through several drawers looking for something. “Yeah I'm honestly thinking about buying an entirely new board, that one is on its deathbed”, the boy said, rubbing the back of his neck as he watched her pull out a wrench. “That would be a good idea, your board is smaller than mine and your at least half a foot taller than me so might be time for an upgrade and plus the design looks like a five-year-old did it” she responded pointing to the back of the skateboard that was lying on the workbench. They both laughed as she began to tighten something on the board. “Hey! Don’t make it too tight I still wanna be able to move” he said looking anxiously as whatever she was tightening. She glanced at him and sarcastically said “Oh sorry I didn't know you were the expert, sure thing I'll just let u ride your crooked, wobbly board and fall off, no wonder you still can’t balance yet”. She flipped the board around and began tightening something on the other side. Suddenly another man walked into the garage. “What are you two working on,?” he asked walking over. “I’m tightening the axles on his board so he doesn't fall over” She said, not looking up from what she was doing. Suddenly she stopped and dropped the board to the floor and got on it leaning to test it. “There that's way better,” she said, getting off. Then the man stepped onto the board, wobbling all over the place before he fell and a loud clattering echoed through the garage. They all laughed before collecting the skateboard and walking out of the garage.

The correct answer is: [C]:

_________________________________________________________

"include supporting evidence in a succinct manner."

_________________________________________________________

Consider the other answer choices provided:

_________________________________________________________

Choice: [A]: "use evidence without citing a source." ; AND:

_________________________________________________________

Choice: [B]: "avoid the need for citations." ;

_________________________________________________________

→ are BOTH INCORRECT.

_________________________________________________________

Note that "summarizing" — and specifically, "paraphrasing" — REQUIRE the need for citing sources and using quotation marks when copying direct phrases from a source — and using sources to 1) give appropriate credit when due ; AND: 2) to avoid plagiarism.

In fact, failure to do so is a frequent type of "accidental plagiarism" in the academic community.

_________________________________________________________

Choice: [D]: "eliminate the need for distracting quotation marks."

→ is INCORRECT. Refer to the explanation above. This answer choice is similar to: "Choice: [B]" .

→ Note that all paraphrased phrases — as well as quotations — MUST be put in "quotation marks" .

_________________________________________________________

The correct answer is:

_________________________________________________________

Answer choice: [C]: "include supporting evidence in a succinct manner."

_________________________________________________________

Summarizing and paraphrasing does offer this advantage.

The poem "The Mending Wall" by Robert Frost and the song "Hey You" by Pink Floyd share a common universal symbol. In a paragraph

GREYUIT [131]

Both poem and the song describes the theme of loneliness and companionship. In the beginning a character is introduced of loneliness and staring at the cold. I guess the both literary texts describe how the boy should encourage himself to get out there in the world but in the end he ends up being comfortable with his own wall built. But has the desire to discover new worlds.
