Explanation of poetry pretty words

English

Monica [59]3 years ago

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!

posledela

Answer:

What Alexander Hamilton meant was that out of the three branches of the government (Executive, Legislature and the Judiciary), the judiciary (Supreme Court) has almost no power to exercise on it's own, thereby making it "the least dangerous branch".

Explanation:

When Hamilton wrote that the supreme court was the least dangerous branch of government, he meant to say that the court has no authority or power to exercise very the other executive or legislature, nor can it act without these two. In short, is is nothing without these two. While these two can do things without it, the same isn't for the  judiciary. The judiciary branch is the weakest branch of the government as it has no influence over either "the sword or the purse", without any force or will to exercise it's powers. It's basically an unnecessary need. Yes, what he said is true due to the fact that no laws can be passed without the consent of the other two branches, while things can be done without the knowledge of the judiciary. Courts need the permission of the Executive, the President or the Head of the Country to make any decision.

"The idea that women should be protected from the harsh realities of life." This 1850s social norm is reflected in the excerpt "Ain't I a Woman?" about white women.

"Ain't I a Woman?" it is written by Sojourner Truth, who born into slavery in Swartekill, New York. She became a well known anti-slavery speaker sometime after gaining her freedom in 1827. Her speech was delivered at the Women's Convention in Akron, Ohio, on May 29, 1851.

The main idea of "Ain't I a Woman?" is The women present were encouraged to ask for the right to vote. The purpose of the speech is to convince the audience that giving women the right to vote is common sense.
