Helen Grey

English
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]3 years ago
4 0

The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not  change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.

Assuming that you're referring to the excerpt from "My Father Writes to my Mother", the statement that best describes the overall impact of the setting would be:  Mother feels empowered when she is in the company of her sisters and cousins.

Read this paragraph from the article, "Caring for Vets Should Be National Duty."
Veronika [31]

Answer:

Celebratory.

Explanation:

A tone of a paragraph represents the writer's/author's feeling and emotions towards a particular passage. In this passage, the author is presenting a celebratory tone.

This is because in the passage the author is relaying a welcoming news which was the news of how Congress had finally agreed to fund the VA Mission Act. This is a celebratory victory because this bill has been finally passed after much budgetary disputes in the Congress. Thus, the author is happy and excited for the passage of this long debated bill.

What does “compromise” mean? No dictionary meaning!! Please) and example if possible
sveticcg [70]

A <em>compromise</em> is when two (or more) people make an agreement or solve an argument by both of them giving something up. They don't get 100% of what they want, but it means both people are 50% happy. This is often better than a win-lose situation.

For example- say a brother and sister both really want the last cookie, so instead of fighting over it, they agree to split the cookie in half. They each sort-of get what they wanted.
