Answer:

According to "The Philosophy of Composition, Poe choose the word 'Nevermore" as the refrain in "The Raven" Because of the sounds of the "o" and the "r"

Explanation:

In the Philosophy of composition he talks about the right elements that are necessary to create a good piece of literary work. In the specific case of The Raven and the use of the word Nevermore, it makes a contrast of sound between consonants and vowel and he plays with it to create a phonetic effect besides it has the same vowel sounds like the name Lenore.

The correct answer is A.

In his essay, "The Philosophy of Composition," Poe explains that he wanted to have a strong word for the Raven to say. It had to be "sonorous and susceptible of protracted emphasis".

These considerations led him to the conclusion that the word should contain the vowel "o" connected with the consonant "r."

After deciding these characteristics, the first word that came to his mind was "Nevermore."

Explanation of poetry pretty words

Monica [59]

Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.

Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.

So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.

Hopefully that all helps!
