Explanation:

A literary work is considered Pre-Romantic if it has characteristics of both Neo-classicism and Romanticism - having only Romantic characteristics will make it Romantic and not Pre-Romantic.

Thomas Gray's "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard” has both Neoclassic and Romantic characteristics.

Romantic characteristics of the poem include;

Theme of death

Setting: The poem is set in churchyard which has silence and loneliness (a Gothic setting which is characteristic of Romanticism such as in Ancient Mariner by S.T. Coleridge), and a village - again a romantic characteristic.

Subjectivity: The poet expresses his own thoughts about death using the pronouns "I" and "me" (Wordsworth's Tintern Abbey, Daffodils) which are subjective.

Nature: Rural setting, owl’s complaint, twittering of swallow, loud and shrill crowing of rooster are all symbols of nature.

Silence and loneliness

Melancholic mood

Neoclassic characteristics of the poem include;

Restrained literary rules: Each stanza has the same style and each line is iambic pentameter.

Personification of abstract ideas and nonliving objects, such as Earth, Fair Science , Melancholy, Memory, Honour etc.

Moralizing: The poem has a didactic lesson that rich people of the cities should not look down upon the poor people from villages.

So considering the romantic and Neo-classic characteristics of "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard”, it is considered a Pre-Romantic poem.

Questions Your Response What kind of article is this: narrative (telling a story), expository (giving information or explaining

daser333 [38]

Answer:

The article is an Expository article.

Explanation:

Note how the author, Matthew Hutson began the article, he said "Consider a series of experiments conducted by researchers led by...," that is to say, he was giving information about the subject matter to his readers.

The main idea or central thesis of this article is to portray how Puritan believes are still present in American society today.

One reason was that "the so-called Protestant work ethic" of respected men like Martin Luther and John Calvin likely influenced the work habits of American culture.

One specific evidence that Hutson offer for why the Puritans still influence American culture today was a study that shows how the view of Martin Luther and John Calvin, in which "they believed in predestination and viewed success as a sign of salvation". I quote Hutson,

"American and Canadian college students were asked to solve word puzzles involving anagrams. But first, some were subtly exposed to (or “primed” with) salvation-related words like “heaven” and “redeem,” while others were exposed to neutral words. The researchers found that the Americans — but not the Canadians — solved more anagrams with salvation on the mind."

To some extent, because the study didn't claim all of American society were still been influenced by the Puritans but makes a balanced conclusion.
