What purpose does the house serve in the passage below?

English
1 answer:
Verizon [17]3 years ago
8 0

The house in "The Deserted House" is a metaphor for a dead body or dead person.

The poem opens with "life and thought have gone away" speaking of a person who has died and no longer has life or thoughts. It continues in Lines 1-3 describing the emptiness of the house, showing the stillness and emptiness of death.

In Line 4 "The house was builded of the earth, And shall fall again to ground." refers to a body being buried, similar to the common funeral phrase "from dust to dust"

Line 5 refers to the person in Heaven- "in a city glorious-- A great and distant city--have bought A mansion incorruptible." Incorruptible in this line means everlasting or unable to decay, showing that the person, (the "mansion") will stay there forever.

The poem ends with "Would they could have stayed with us!" in reference to the person who has died-wishing they had not "moved" to heaven and instead could have stayed alive.

Identify the one illogical comparison among the following examples.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:D. She runs more faster than her brother.

Explanation:

I wrote you in the details what are the examples that are missing in your question.

Because we are talking about illogical comparison, the correct answer it D.

It is the only sentence in examples that is grammatically incorrect so it doesn't make much logic. The word ''more'' is used wrongly and word ''faster'' is enough in this sentence because it is describing how is she running.

Which sentence from the passage best shows that Juhan values the culture of his homeland?
Naddika [18.5K]
Hi there! I feel that C.) would be the best answer for this question. Fighting in a war wouldn't show that you value the culture of your homeland, like shown in answer A.). B and D seem irrelevant to the question at hand, and since the language of a country relates directly to the culture and answer C.) shows that Juhan values it, it'd be safest to go with that answer.
