English

babymother [125]3 years ago
4 0

Charlotte Perkins Gilman was a prominent social critic and feminist writer in the United States of the period from the 1890s through the 1930s. In The Yellow Wallpaper, originally published in 1899, she presents the internal dialogue of a woman diagnosed with hysteria and for whom total rest has been prescribed. In the short fiction, the patient is slowly driven mad by her cure, cut off from any intellectual pursuits whatsoever.  

Though The Yellow Wallpaper is a work of fiction, it was based on Gilman's own experience after being diagnosed as an hysteric and prescribed a "rest cure" which prohibited her writing and labelled her feminism and social critique as symptoms of uterine illness. Gilman recovered from her "cure," and went on to write influential social theses, including Women and Economics (1898), and a feminist utopian novel, Herland (1915), which has become a classic of American women's literature.

How does act 1 in romeo and juliet function as an exposition?
cestrela7 [59]
In the first act, it is introduced to all the main characters such as Capulets, Montague, even dramatic Hero Romeo. In the precursor to the first act, we are talking about struggles over the years, two aristocrats "[f]rom ancient grudge break to new mutiny".

Therefore, we talk about one of the central disputes: that the two familes are fighting each other. That central conflict enhances the concept of being hostage against destiny which leads to both Romeo and Juliet's death.

In the first scene, it introduces the characterization of a character centered on Romeo's painful rash emotional heart. In the second and third scenes of the first act, we were introduced to the heroine Juliet and gave hints on Juliet about another dispute that might be involved in Paris.

In the last scene of the act, the hero and the heroine meet under intense conditions, show the emergence of character-to-fate confrontation, and show the conflict of character against character as seen from Tybalt's anger and insult feeling Capulet's ball.

As all of these introduce and serve to raise a conflict, we confirm that the purpose of Shakespeare obviously uses the first act as an exhibition.

Which term means "the use of a word that suggests two or more of its meanings, or suggests a similar sounding word"? A. verbal i
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

D. Pun.

Explanation:

A pun is a play on words by using them in a different way. This literary device allows the writer to use a word in different forms by implying a different meaning.

A pun is used more often in a humorous way when a word is used to mean multiple things. This play on words allows the listener to feel funny yet still also gives a sense of correctness in what has been said.

For example, when someone says <em>"a happy life depends on a liver"</em>. So, liver here may mean the human liver, the organ, or simply someone who lives for every moment.  

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
