Which element of modernist poetry is evident in this excerpt from "The Negro Speaks of Rivers" by Langston Hughes?

English

Doss [256]3 years ago

Answer:

If your options are:

A. The poem uses variations of meter to affect rhyme.

B. The poem’s sentences flow across stanzas.

C. The poem’s stanzas have varying lengths.

D. The poem uses nontraditional syntax and rhyme scheme.

Then the answer is D.

Explanation:

The nontraditional syntax is best shown in the use of enjambment - interrupting the thought and syntactic structure in the middle and moving the rest to the next line. For example: "and older than the // flow of human blood (...)"

Here, the definite article "the" has been separated from the noun "flow", which means the phrase is visually broken in half.

  • A isn't true because this poem conveys its meaning through rhythm and not rhyme. There are virtually no rhymes here and the syntax (sentence structure) is disrupted, invoking the sound of a river flowing in irregular but consistent waves.
  • B isn't true because the sentences do flow across lines but not across stanzas.
  • The stanzas do have varying lengths. But even though this element was pretty rare prior to the 20th century, it is not exclusive to modernist poetry. That's why C isn't true either.

In two to three sentences, describe one advanced search strategy and how it is useful.
Blizzard [7]
Boolean searching:

Most searches will return too many or too few records. It takes a long time to look at hundreds of records. By putting a little effort into constructing search strings (what you type into the search box) you can save a lot of time. The database can do a lot of work for you if you take the trouble to add a little sophistication to your search strings.

To do this with databases you need to know about the Boolean system. By the use of a few simple linking words, called operators, you can make your searches much more precise.

Image and symbol are not the same.<br> a. True<br> b. False
lord [1]
This is A. True

An image usually represents something with denotative (descriptive, literal) meaning, while symbols usually represent something more complex and are used in metaphors and allegories.
