Answer:

The main features of naturalism in April Showers include a fairly accurate social analysis and the presence of a narative that sought to prove some aspect of the nature of human beings in society. In the case of April Showers, the main characteristic was Theodora's determinism.

Explanation:

In "April Showers" Theodora is determined to publish her story that would shake the depths of human nature, as she says. Although everything seems to go as planned, Theodora's fate does not go as expected and her story is not published.

This reflects characteristics of naturalism which is a more exaggerated realism and which mainly covers the problems of the reality of the characters.

In at least 150 words, explain how the word choice in Rukeyser's "Poem" helps the author to establish a theme in the text. Use d
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

"I lived in the first century of world wars" is the opening line of "Poem" by Muriel Rukeyser (1913-1980) an American poet and political activist. Her best-known poems are about social justice, equality and feminism. Her choice of words establishes her anti-war theme and her efforts to oppose war through her poetry:

"Slowly I would get to pen and paper,

Make my poems for others unseen and unborn.

In the day I would be reminded of those men and women,

Brave, setting up signals across vast distances,

Considering a nameless way of living, of almost not imagined values."

She felt her poetry, which would outlive her, would be a message to those "unseen and unborn" who could work to promote peace and justice.

"We would try by any means

To reach the limits of ourselves, to reach beyond ourselves,

To let go the means, to wake."

Here Rukeyser was passing on the baton, as it were, to the generations "beyond ourselves" in the hope that they would be more purposeful peacemakers.
