1.it was a bright sunny day in April,and the clocks were striking thirteen

This is the narrative hook. A narrative hook occurs at the beginning of a passage to get the reader interested in the rest of the story. In this hook, the speaker begins talking about what seems to be a wonderful great day. Then the reader is hit with the fact that the clocks are striking thirteen. This makes it very different than what the reader is used to. While many people use a 24 hour clock instead of a 12 hour clock, it is usually only in digital form. Therefore, the word striking is not used. Striking is used for a digital clock because the hands move and are said to strike numbers. It is rare to find a 24 hour analog clock in our setting.

Explain how “The Dungeon” is a reflection of the Romantic Era. Why is the subject of the poem a good topic for the Romantic Era?

Effectus [21]

The Dungeon is a poem which reflects the Romantic Era because, as most of them, it is a political and passionate piece.

This is a good topic for the Romantic Era because the author, with this piece, reflects the truth and shows concern about the well-being of the common man.

For demonstrating the qualities of the Romantic Era I would chose these three lines because Romantic Era is all about emotions and because the author, in these lines, questions himself about "the innocence of the poor brother that offend us" in a very sensitive and emotional way, trying to break seted standards:

Is this the only cure? Merciful God!

Each poor and natural outlet shrivell'd up / By ignorance and parching poverty

And stagnate and corrupt; till changed to poison, / They break out on him, like a loathsome plague-spot
