How does Ponyboy’s point of view influence how events in this chapter are described? What can you determine about Ponyboy’s char
elena55 [62]

The point of view presented by Ponyboy allows the reader to understand the events in a more personal and intimate way, as Ponyboy shows how he perceives things and how he feels about them.

Although you haven't shown it, we can see that this question is from the book "The Outsiders." Unfortunately, you didn't show the chapter to which this question refers, which makes it difficult for me to answer it specifically, but I will try to help you in the best possible way.

As we read these books, we can see that:

  • The narrator of the book is Ponyboy, who is also the protagonist of the story.
  • Ponyboy lives with his older brothers.
  • They live with little economic resources and all are involved with street gangs.
  • There is a lot of rivalry between street gangs, which creates a lot of violence and danger for the members.
  • Ponyboy witnesses these dangers many times, as he is part of the greaser gang, which is the enemy of the socs.

When we look at the narration of these conflicts between the gangs, we can see that Ponyboy does not feel represented by either side of the conflict, for this reason, he narrates the events in a more intimate way, reinforcing the sense of displacement he feels.

While Ponyboy doesn't feel like he belongs to any of these gangs, his brothers are very loyal to the greaser gang. In that case, if they narrated the conflicts, they would present a narrative with a strong bias towards how the greasers acted.

With Raghu in pursuit of the other kids, the innocent game of hide and seek in Anita Desai's "Games at Twilight" almost resemble
aev [14]

Answer:

"Stalked off in search of worthier prey, whistling spiritedly so that the hiders should hear and tremble"/ "Where could he burrow?"/ "Ravi had a frightening glimpse of them as Raghu combed the hedge of crotons and hibiscus, trampling delicate ferns underfoot as he did so"/ "Ravi looked about him desperately, swallowing a small ball of snot in his fear."

Explanation:

Anita Desai's story "Games At Twilight" is set in an Indian atmosphere, with the children as the main protagonists. The story deals with the issues of children, their disillusioned fantasies, and the universal theme of children playing games along with their world.

The given excerpt from the story shows the children playing a game of hide-and-seek. And this scene resembles a hunting scene, where the hunter follows and captures his prey. Likewise, the hunter, in this case, is Raghu, with the "long, hefty, hairy footballer legs". And he is searching for the other children who represent the prey.

The description of not only Raghu, but the way Ravi, the protagonist describes the fear in Manu also suggests a hunting imagery. He got frightened and tried "desperately" to hide and stay away from being detected, all the while "swallowing a small ball of snot in his fear".

All these tiny descriptions makes the game sound like a hunt.

How do the formal properties of Poe’s poem (rhythm, meter, rhyme, alliteration, assonance, repetition) relate to the poem’s mean
zhuklara [117]

"The Raven" is a poem by American author Edgar Allan Poe. The poem was published in 1845, and became an instant sensation due to its many striking characteristics.

The poem employs rhyme in a way that provides an extremely musical tone to the work. Moreover, the language is vivid and stylized, and Poe employs imagery that creates a supernatural atmosphere. This allows the many devices employed (alliteration, assonance, repetition, etc.) to contribute to the meaning of the poem.

Moreover, "The Raven" reflects many of the common topics of the time. The death of beautiful women due to consumption is a common theme during this time period. The poem appeals both to ideas of the Romantic, as well as to the culture of mourning that developed around such deaths. In the poem, a young student receives the visit of a raven, which keeps reminding him of the recent death of his girlfriend. The poem traces the man's descent into madness. The development of the poem and the ideas that Poe had about it are explained carefully in his text "The Philosophy of Composition."
