<span>The overall tone of the poem is melancholy. Tennyson conveyed this tone by using descriptive words which depict the downcast background and lonely situation of the characters. He was able to dramatize every aspect of the poem by using symbols to express its mood. Despite the Lady of Shalott's acceptance of being a prisoner in her own kingdom, she managed to be patient because of her desire to finish her woven piece to show her devotion to her loved one.</span>

Answer:

The overall tone of the poem is melancholic and mysterious. Although the poem begins with descriptions of the beautiful surroundings, the sense of confinement and suppression creeps in through the language Tennyson uses:

Four gray walls, and four gray towers,  

Overlook a space of flowers,  

And the silent isle imbowers  

The Lady of Shalott.

The lady is a prisoner in a tower, cursed to never to clearly see the actual beauty in the world except through reflections in her mirror. When the poet tells us that “She lives with little joy or fear,” we know that she has a placid and uneventful existence. The tone of the poem leads the reader to believe that a climax is imminent. The lady says, “I am half sick of shadows,” suggesting that she is tempted to leave the tower.

The poet uses an even tone while describing the beautiful city of Camelot. The imagery creates a mood of tranquility. The melancholy tone used to depict the imprisonment of the lady changes to a tone of urgency when the curse befalls the Lady. The atmosphere of doom becomes prevalent in the poem from the moment the lady sets eyes on the outside world. (PLATO)

Why was World War I called the Great War? Select all that apply.
madreJ [45]

Answer:

  Because it involved many nations.

Explanation:

  It was called the Great War because the world has never seen a conflict of that size. Over 59 million troops were mobilized. Many millions of people died or get injured. The conflict reshaped politically, economically, socially, and culturally Europe and the whole world.

  It was named like that because the people of those days did not believe that almost 30 years after that the world would be at the most disastrous conflict of its history.

  I hoped this answer helps you.

Explain the theme of “Bart Gets an F.”
steposvetlana [31]

Answer:

"Bart Gets an 'F'" is the first episode of the second season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It aired originally on the Fox network in the United States on October 11, 1990. In this episode, Bart Simpson fails four consecutive history exams, and the school psychiatrist recommends he repeat the fourth grade. Bart vows to do better and persuades the class genius, Martin Prince, to tutor him. After that backfires, Bart prays to God for help. At Springfield Elementary School, Bart presents a book report on Treasure Island. But during his presentation, it becomes obvious that he didn't read the book. Mrs. Krabappel scolds him for his falling test scores and warns him about an upcoming exam on Colonial America. At school the next day, Bart feigns illness to avoid taking another test. After grilling Milhouse for the test answers, an overconfident Bart scores even worse than he did when Mrs. Krabappel gives Bart a different set of test questions.
