Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

A metaphor designates identification of one thing with another with which is not literally identifiable. The comparison of "faces in the crowd" in a metro station with "petals on a wet, black bough" at first glance seems to have no relation. However, the underground image ressembles a beautiful view of nature for the speaker. This image might remind him of the flowers of a quiet and nice place in the country side. Accordingly, it is possible to be said that there is natural beauty in a city environment. A complex task when reading poetry is to make multiple associations to find meaning.

‘In a Station of the Metro’, written by Ezra Pound in 1913, is an Imagist poem. In these two lines, Pound´s intention may be interpreted as there is natural beauty in a city environment. (Answer 3)

The speaker who is at a station of Paris Metro underground gets the image that the faces of  people  are like the petals hanging on the ‘wet, black bough’ of a tree.This central image of the faces as petals is clear and simple It draws together the urban with the natural world making  nature the one who embellishes cities.

Read the poems.
Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

The haiku shares a distinct event in nature, while the romantic poem relays a personal experience with nature.

Explanation:

The common feature about a Haiku by Busan and an excerpt from "Frost At Midnight" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge is the presence of nature. Haiku refers to the Japanese form of poetry in which the beauty of nature is illustrated. On the other hand, the romantic poetry of Coleridge presents the poet's personal thoughts and feelings about nature. In Haiku the nature is viewed from a general perspective, while in romantic poetry, there lies a connection between the poet and the nature. The nature stands as a preacher or an instructor in the romantic poetry.

A student wrote the following sentence:
arlik [135]

Answer: The replacement word that would best clarify the meaning of "self-respect" is <u>B. confidence</u>.

Explanation: The word "self-respect" is a noun used to refer to the feeling of pride that a person has in himself/herself. In that way, <u>"self-respect" is similar to the word "confidence", which can be defined as the feeling of trust in oneself's abilities or powers</u>. However,<u> "confidence" is more specific and adds clarity</u> to the meaning of "self-respect". In contrast, the words "anger", "honesty" and "passion" are not closely related to "self-respect".

THIS IS AN ESSAY, HELPPP! What attributes does Beowulf display in the story that reflect the values is the time?
NemiM [27]

There is no doubt that Beowulf was created to be a great Ango-Saxon warrior. This is because it exhibits characteristics that reflect many cultural values from the time it was created.

First of all it is necessary to remember that Beowulf was the archetype of the masculine vision of the time. At that time they had very well-defined gender roles and stated that Saxon men should be like strong Beowulf, warriors, courageous and protective. This would bring honor, glory and respect, which were characteristics stimulated at that time.

Furthermore, Beowulf shows to be violent in battles, this again reflects values of the time, since it was a time of many bloody and violent battles, where the winners were exalted in their communities.
