Which of the following is a sensory detail used in William Stafford‘s poem traveling through the dark to develop imagery?

English

Answer:

The answer is letter C. Sound: a car engine purring.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses (sight, taste, touch, smell, and hearing) to involve the readers and help them visualize what is being described. In the poem "Traveling Through the Dark", by William Stafford, there is no mention to a gunfire, a warm flagpole, or a dead raccoon. The speaker does mention a dead deer and how its body felt to the touch, but that doesn't fit options A, B, or D. Towards the end of the poem, however, the speaker mentions the purring of a car engine, which appeals to the sense of hearing, and helps readers imagine the sound in their minds:

<em>The car aimed ahead its lowered parking lights;    </em>

<em>under the hood purred the steady engine.</em><em> </em>

<em>I stood in the glare of the warm exhaust turning red;    </em>

<em>around our group I could hear the wilderness listen.</em>

It would be D: a dead racoon. Because sensory detail using sight is most likely to develop imagery

Why do many in Umuofia feel differently from Okonkwo about the white man’s "new dispensation" (Ch. 21)?
Molodets [167]

“How did Faulkner pull it off?” is a question many a fledgling writer has asked themselves while struggling through a period of apprenticeship like that novelist John Barth describes in his 1999 talk "My Faulkner." Barth “reorchestrated” his literary heroes, he says, “in search of my writerly self... downloading my innumerable predecessors as only an insatiable green apprentice can.” Surely a great many writers can relate when Barth says, “it was Faulkner at his most involuted and incantatory who most enchanted me.” For many a writer, the Faulknerian sentence is an irresistible labyrinth. His syntax has a way of weaving itself into the unconscious, emerging as fair to middling imitation.

While studying at Johns Hopkins University, Barth found himself writing about his native Eastern Shore Maryland in a pastiche style of “middle Faulkner and late Joyce.” He may have won some praise from a visiting young William Styron, “but the finished opus didn’t fly—for one thing, because Faulkner intimately knew his Snopses and Compsons and Sartorises, as I did not know my made-up denizens of the Maryland marsh.” The advice to write only what you know may not be worth much as a universal commandment. But studying the way that Faulkner wrote when he turned to the subjects he knew best provides an object lesson on how powerful a literary resource intimacy can be

Eva8 [605]

Further angered, Unferth declares that either he or Grendel will die that night in the cave. Grendel, however, says that he plans to carry Unferth back to the meadhall unscathed. Unferth swears he would rather kill himself, but Grendel points out that such an action would appear rather cowardly.
