Whittier had used symbolism and imagery of war in his poem "To William Lloyd Garrison" when he described the rural nature of the New England including its cultural atmosphere, as well as its religion. In addition, Whittier was among the most prominent poets wherein among his main subject was the American Civil War.

In the poem “To William Lloyd Garrison” John Greenleaf Whittier uses a traditional rhyme scheme in which the last words of the first and third lines rhyme.

In addition to the rhythm and rhyme that is present in this poem, the poem is rich with imagery and symbolism to express complex ideas. For example, the sword is repeated in different parts of the poem, and it represents the fight that Garrison and Whittier are involved in. It represents how they got into believing in abolition and that it is called their “fight”.

how does the poem, When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer, connect to the principles of transcendentalism?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Walden, one of the many Transcendental concepts Thoreau expressed is the idea that God does not exist in some far away place, but lives instead all around us. "Heaven," he wrote, "is under our feet as well as over our heads." As a Transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that God manifests Himself in the natural world; therefore, nature lives as the source of spiritual truth for those who will seek it there. The poem's persona is one such person.

After listening to the astronomer analyze and "explain" the universe with his charts, diagrams, and mathematical formulas, the poem's speaker becomes "tired and sick." He leaves the stifling atmosphere of the confining lecture room and goes out into "the mystical moist night air."

The influence of Transcendental philosophy can be seen in the contrast between the attitudes and values of the lecturer and those of the poem's speaker. The astronomer intellectualizes nature, perhaps even brilliantly. He is very intelligent, but he is not wise. He understands facts, but he misses truth. The poem's speaker, however, understands that the truth of the universe, of nature itself, can only be understood spiritually. Rejecting the astronomer's carefully reasoned "proofs," he seeks truth instead by "[looking] up in perfect silence at the stars."

Identify each sentence as having an inappropriate shift in either person or number.

1. Inappropriate shift: It should be I can hear the waves vs you can hear.
2. Inappropriate shift: It should be either dried the clothes in the sun or dried them. It is plural and not singular use.
3. Inappropriate shift: It should be they had to take the long road... Again it is referencing plural and not singular
4. Inappropriate shift: It should be and gave them water to drink.
