2 answers:

8 0

Phyllis Wheatley's poetry fits within the XVIII period. Her poetry included ideas and concepts from Christianity, classicism, and hierophantic solar worship. She was influenced by Homer , Virgil and the XVIII's poets: Alexander Pope and Milton. Besides, she wrote ellegies through her poetry; she reflected upon the dead, mainly. She also wrote about the sun because solar worship - hierophantic practice - was common in Africa and her parents were sun worshipers themselves. In fact ,autobiographical spiritual narratives were common in poets such as Wheatley.

Don't Be Afraid of Losing Your Friends and Followers. Be Afraid of Losing Yourself to the World, Because you Settled for the Opi

kirill115 [55]

What I think the beautiful meaning behind this is...

Losing friends or followers can happen in life, friends come and go, and sometimes you don't need friends to be happy. But if you follow other people and believe their lies and stick to their opinion even though you might not agree with their opinion, you are under their control. Not only you are under their control, but you pretend to be something else by agreeing to these opinions and pretending you agree. Never always follow other people, you don't need to be the follower. Be the leader of your own tribe.

Hope this helps & hope this is an important message!

II. Directions: Read the sentences, then identify how the meaning of the underlined word is expressed. Write CIA for Contrast or

____ [38]

The underlined words in the sentences are identified thus;

1. My brother is an aficionado, a person who is very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about an activity, subject, or pastime. (DIE: Definition or Explanation)

2. That's absolutely a ridiculous price for a sweater. I can't find any reason for it to become so expensive. (GC: General Clue)

3. Her traumatic experience made her a self-centered and callous young woman. She became hard-hearted and showed no sympathy for others. (RIS: Restatement or Synonym)

4. Liza imitated the house design of her neighbor but her husband changed it to add another window. (CIA: Contrast or Antonym)

5. His stalwart (marked by outstanding strength and vigor of body, mind, or spirit) son, applied to join the army. (PC: Punctuation Clue)

Reading the whole text can help in the identification of the context clue being used. In the first sentence, for example, the complex word, aficionado is quickly followed by a definition.

In the second sentence, a General clue is employed as we read the sentence to the end. The reader stresses by implication that ridiculous means expensive.

In the third sentence, self-centered and callous are restated to mean hard-hearted and being without sympathy.

The same logic can be applied to the contrast and punctuation clues.

marusya05 [52]
