Explanation of poetry pretty words

English
1 answer:
Monica [59]3 years ago
7 0
Hello there if you are talking about "pretty words" by Elinor Wylie then.. I think the tone for the poem is admiring be cause when Wylie says "Words shy and dappled, deep eyed deer in herds" and, "I love words opalescent, cool and pearly", it shows her admiration for all sorts of words. When Wylie says in line 1 " poets make pets of pretty, docile words", she means that you can command words to do whatever you want if you know how to use em.

Theme: poets understand the uniqueness, weight, and beauty that words can hold and they know how to use them.

So pretty much here's a little summary: the speaker is comparing words to pets, and how they can be 'tamed'.

Hopefully that all helps!

Reread lines 94-122. Describe the relationship between Gilbert and his father. (Is the relationship strong, complicated, etc?) S
Fittoniya [83]

Gilbert's relation with his father is strong, though it may be presented as complicated, as his father used to stay away at the sea for the majority of the time.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the story, "Another Place, Another Time", Gilbert is presented as a young boy, who despises time, as it is time which comes in the way of his father and him. His father stays away at the sea for long and Gilbert has to spend that time just waiting.

When his father dies, he again blames time as he wants all the time back which he spent with his father.

Hence, it is these incidents that represent that he has a strong bond with his father.

I believe that making online purchases through smart speakers isn't a good idea. It would become very easy to steal credit card information if you are just yelling it into your devices. You also have the scenario were a kid or friend could jokingly order something.
