Read the excerpt below from The Call of the Wild and answer the question. This other man was shorter of leg and longer of arm, w

ith muscles that were stringy and knotty rather than rounded and swelling. The hair of this man was long and matted, and his head slanted back under it from the eyes. He uttered strange sounds, and seemed very much afraid of the darkness, into which he peered continually, clutching in his hand, which hung midway between knee and foot, a stick with a heavy stone made fast to the end. How is the author using rhythm in the passage above? What feeling is created by using this rhythm? Cite specific examples from the excerpt. Your response should be no less than 150 words.

The author uses  this  long  descriptive sentence but his use of commas makes the long sentence run smoothly. " ...was shorter of leg  and longer of arm , with muscles........stingy and knotty rather than..... swelling."  The author also  sets a balance with adjectives belonging to the same group : " shorter .... longer "; " stingy ..knotty".  The sentence the author uses to describe the  fact the man is afraid of darkness is also long but runs smoothly ; this makes the reader get a clear picture of the beastly  characteristics  of this man. " ........ into which he peered continually , clutching ...., which hung ....., a stick ..." There is a repetition of clauses begining with 'which' . This makes the reader get a picture of the man as if he were being shown with a movie camera. The man was afraid of darkness. He showed his feelings through the sounds he made. He also peered into the drakness without stopping . He was so scared that he held his walking stick tightly.

The author has described a man who had animal characteristics. The man looked like an animal and he was scared of the dark. The picture of a frightened wild man has been created.

How does the quotation from Christine Guth support MacGregor’s point about The Great Wave?
NikAS [45]

The quotation from Christine Guth does a lot by manner of making points.  One thing the quotation from Christine Guth does is support MacGregor’s point about The Great Wave.  It does this with the use of a clever interpretation.  Through interpretation, the wave can be seen as a manner in which travel as well as trade can take place.  Too, Japan can be isolated by this wave according to the interpretation.

Answer:

B). They are similar because both are about love for a woman others may find lacking.

Explanation:

The key similarity between the given lines from 'Sonnet 130' and 'Sonnet 131' of William Shakespeare is that 'they both talk about the love for a lady who other people may find incomplete or lacking.' In both the sonnets, <u>the speaker talks about love beyond physical appearance and beauty and breaks the stereotypes of associating the beloved with beauty('most precious jewel' and 'false compare')</u>. Shakespeare primarily aims to offer a different representation of love in order to break away from the traditional perspective of love and beloved. Thus, <u>option B</u> is the correct answer.
