English

Step2247 [10]3 years ago
8 0

The lines of the poem mentioned in the question above are:

<em>"What else could the boy have done? Wasn’t </em>

<em>flight both an escape and a great uplifting? </em>

<em>And so he flew. But how could he appreciate </em>

<em>his freedom without knowing the exact point </em>

<em> </em>

<em>where freedom stopped? So he flew upward </em>

<em>and the sun dissolved the wax and he fell. </em>

<em>But at last in his anticipated plummeting </em>

<em>he grasped the confines of what had been"</em>

Answer:

Each stanza has four lines. The lines don't rhyme.

Between lines 1-8, it is common that the end punctuation does not appear at the end of each line, but on the next line this causes an effect of interrupted thinking, which matches the meaning of the poem, since it speaks of an interrupted freedom .

Explanation:

As you may already know, a poem is composed of verses and stanzas. Each stanza is composed of a set of verses and each stanza of the poem is separated from another stanza through a space, which allows you to perceive a group of grouped verses. Each verse represents a line, for this reason, it is possible to state that in relation to the stanzas shown above, each of them has four lines.

The rhyme is an element that provides a certain musicality in the stanzas. This is because it allows the repetition of vowels (usually in the last syllable) of the last words at the end of each line. This allows these syllables to be repeated during the stanza, generating musicality. As you can see in the verses above, the lines do not rhyme.

The end punctuation is the punctuation that an author places at the end of a sentence, that is, this punctuation appears when the sentence has already passed a message and can be completed. Generally, these scores appear at the end of each line, but as you can see in the lines above, many of them do not end with the end score that only appears in the middle of the next line. This provides an interruption in the reading of the poem in the middle of a sentence and directly matches the meaning of the poem. That's because, the poem talks about the interruption of a desire, since Icaru has his desire for freedom interrupted with his fall.

During am exam you are asked to write one paragraph describing a character from one of your favorite novels which outline format
sergejj [24]

1. You might want to lead with the name, which is might already clear out if it's a man or a woman. it might save you a few words.

Then you want to add a reference, maybe the novel or world that your favorite character is from, the ethnicity or race, geographic location or where the character lives now.

Then you might add what is the character's occupation. Maybe add the character's passion as well. Try to be concise.

In the end, you might want to list what you find interesting about the character. Achievements, hobbies and so on.

Here is a quick example:

<em>Legolas is an elven prince of the Wood Elves of northern Milkwood. He in first appears in The Lord of the Rings books and pairs with the Fellowship of the Ring to save the Middle Earth from a dark lord. He is also a great warrior, an amazing archer and a very good friend. Eventually, becomes the best friend of a dwarf named Gimli, even thought dwarves and elves hate each other.</em>
