I'm thinking a girdle furled is it being folded about and wraps around you and he's describing the ocean in this manner suggests something to do with the oceans wrapping around continents,ect. of the world, how we're protected in a sense. In full context of the poem though it seems the author is talking about god and faith as in "sea of faith" and how faith was once prominent surrounding all things and the bright girdle was to show how prominent it once was. good luck with english!

WORD FORMATION:I don't doubt the (effect) of this new gadget,but we simply don't have the money to buy it.
balu736 [363]

Answer:

I don’t doubt the effectiveness of this new gadget, but we simply don’t have the money to buy it.

Explanation:

The word ”effectiveness” means a degree to which something is successful in making a result that is desired. In other words, something with effectiveness is something that successfully produces a result that a person wants/desires. It makes a desired change/effect for the person using it. The effect is rooted within the word too, so that is why it’s the appropriate word to use.

In the first seven paragraphs of America and I, what are some of the images and diction used by the narrator that evoke the “dre
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

Imagery in literature refers to the use of words and analogy that appeals to the five senses.

Starting with Paragraph 7, the narrator states that after her lofty dreams of America, the fact that she needs to work to pay for her next meal and rent brought her back to reality...in her own words she states <em>"I had to put my feet down on earth"</em>

Another example of imagery used can be found in paragraph 1. She calls out to America for understanding as there are many immigrants who were beating out their heart at its gates. In other words, there are many immigrants who seek to enter into America. She speaks as though America were a living being.

The act of immigration is typified by the beating of hearts at America's gates.

In paragraph 5 she speaks of <em>hidden sap of centuries that would find release -colours that never saw light. </em>

The last part of that sentence is a good use of imagery as colour and light are very visual.

Cheers.
