Answer:

The answer is indeed "a lengthy or extended metaphor".

Explanation:

In poetry, conceit is a metaphor that can take up a whole section of a poem, or even the entire poem. It is witty and intricate, comparing two very different things in an enthralling or unexpected way. John Donne was a poet famous for using conceit in his work. In his poem "The Sun Rising", he compares the sun to an intruder that comes to interrupt his time with his beloved one. The first stanza is as follows:

<em>Busy old fool, unruly sun, </em>

<em>Why dost thou thus, </em>

<em>Through windows, and through curtains call on us? </em>

<em>Must to thy motions lovers' seasons run? </em>

<em>Saucy pedantic wretch, go chide </em>

<em>Late school boys and sour prentices, </em>

<em>Go tell court huntsmen that the king will ride, </em>

<em>Call country ants to harvest offices, </em>

<em>Love, all alike, no season knows nor clime, </em>

<em>Nor hours, days, months, which are the rags of time.</em>

The author calls the ocean a complex patchwork of environments and it says it's not limitless. Explain what you think this means
KatRina [158]

Answer and Explanation:

When the author states that the ocean is like a patchwork quilt, he is referring to how the ocean is a highly diverse environment. As you already know, a patchwork is an object made up of elements that are completely different from each other, but which are able to harmoniously join together to form the patchwork. The ocean is also like that, as it is formed by several elements that are completely different, but that come together in harmony.

However, the ocean is not infinite, on the contrary, it can have an end, due to pollution and intense human exploitation that degrades the ocean immensely. This is what the author wants to present when he says that the ocean is not limitless.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

In the summer of 1816, Mary Shelley visited Geneva Lake (Switzerland) and spent her days in Switzerland with Lord Byron, Percy Shelley, and Dr. John Polidori. One day, after reading a collection of German short stories, called <em>Fantasmagoriana</em>, they decided to write their own short, supernatural stories.  

Her story was called <em>Frankenstein</em>. Mary Shelley decided to convert her story into a novel, so she continued to write it until she finally completed the novel in 1817. The novel was first published anonymously, in 1818.
