Answer:

what do you mean?

Explanation:

My mother was making me a dress. All through the month of November I would come from school and find her in the kitchen, surrounded by cut-up red velvet and scraps of tissue-paper pattern. She worked at an old treadle machine pushed up against the window to get the light, and also to let her look out, past the stubble fields and bare vegetable garden, to see who went by on the road. There was seldom anybody to see.

The red velvet material was hard to work with, it pulled, and the style my mother had chosen was not easy either. She was not really a good sewer. She liked to make things; that is different. Whenever she could she tried to skip basting and pressing and she took no pride in the fine points of tailoring, the finishing of buttonholes and the overcasting of seams as, for instance, my aunt and my grandmother did. Unlike them she started off with an inspiration, a brave and dazzling idea; from that moment on, her pleasure ran downhill. In the first place she could never find a pattern to suit her. It was no wonder; there were no patterns made to match the ideas that blossomed in her head. She had made me, at various times when I was younger, a flowered organdie dress with a high Victorian neckline edged in scratchy lace, with a poke bonnet to match; a Scottish plaid outfit with a velvet jacket and tam; an embroidered peasant blouse worn with a full red skirt and black laced bodice. I had worn these clothes with docility, even pleasure, in the days when I was unaware of the world’s opinion. Now, grown wiser, I wished for dresses like those my friend Lonnie had, bought at Beale’s store.

Match each description with its term: Group of answer choices Group of poets who used words to evoke impressions rather than exp
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Symbolist: group of poets who used words to evoke impressions rather than express literal meaning.

Exoticism: a term describing sounds drawn from outside the traditional western European musical experience.

Impressionism: initially it was a pejorative term describing the paintings of Monet, Degas, and others.

Bolero: a slow, sultry Spanish dance in triple meter.

Explanation:

Symbolism was a literary and artistic movement that originated in France in the 19th century. The group of people that practiced symbolism were called symbolist and their aim was to express their emotions through symbols.

We can say that exoticism is the ''charm of the unfamiliar'' due to the fact that it was the interest in other cultures by Europeans. This interest was shown through eastern trade in the 16th and 17th century and though European colonialism. The European culture started to consume another type of culture in terms of music, literature and art.

Impressionism was a term to describe artists who rejected the official, government-sanctioned exhibitions, or salons, and for this reason they were rejected by prestigious academic art institutions. This kind of artist wanted to paint the impression that an object made in them. They use bright colors and have an unfinished appearance. Between their famous painters we have Monet, Degas, Manet, Matisse, etc.

Bolero is a typical Spanish dance characterized by the stamping of the feet, making sharp turns and sudden pauses while having one arm above the head. It can be dance in couples, groups or individually.
