How does Dobyns’s use of unusual structure affect the meaning of “Icarus’s Flight?”

English
1 answer:
butalik [34]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

D. The way sentences extend from one stanza into the next pull the reader along.

Explanation:

The myth of "Icarus" and his flight to the sun bringing his fall from the sky is a story we are all familiar with. It was this story that gives us the lesson of not going beyond what is dictated or not to be too curious or greedy.

Stephen Dobyns' version/ poem of the same myth presents the same case, but the only difference is that he presents the other possibility or other nature of the flight. For him, the escape doesn't merely mean an escape from the island or captivity, but it also signals the realization of what freedom is and to what extent it is available. For him, it was <em>"a great uplifting"</em>, <em>"fly[ing] precisely to the point of wisdom"</em>.

This unstructured and unusual pattern of poetry, the way the sentences are pulled along to the next stanza, without much punctuation makes the reader eager to keep reading. It <u>entices and arrests the reader's interest, pulling us along until the end. </u>

Thus, the correct answer is option D.

PLZZ HELPP MEEE EAST 149TH STREET (SYMPHONY FOR A BLACK GIRL) sitting too long skinny cinnamon burnt legs cramped, Momma's thigh
saveliy_v [14]

In this poem, the author describes the "music" that the movement of the black girl brings to our ears. He talks about the way in which the girl's playing makes her braids move, and he describes this musicality by using words such as "symphony","crescendo", and "movement." These words are employed as imagery, and their effect is that they create an image in the mind of the reader. This image contributes to the meaning of the poem by portraying the vivacity and cheerfulness of the girl.
