Every Saturday night, four good friends get together. When Jerry, Mike, and Pat arrived, Karen was sitting in her living room wr

iting some notes. She quickly gathered the cards and stood up to greet her friends at the door. They followed her into the living room, but as usual, they couldn't agree on exactly what to play. Jerry eventually took a stand and set things up. Finally, they began to play. Karen's recorder filled the room with soft and pleasant music. Early in the evening, Mike noticed Pat's hand and the many diamonds. As the night progressed, the tempo of play increased. Finally, a lull in activities occurred. Taking advantage of this, Jerry pondered the arrangement in front of him. Mike interrupted. Jerry said, "Let’s hear the score." They listened carefully and commented on their performance. When the comments were all heard, exhausted but happy, Karen’s friends went home.

1. What exactly do you think the friends in the story were doing together? What clues in the story caused you to think this?

What figurative language is in this sentence, “which is the bliss of solitude.”
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

The poem speaks of finding a field of daffodils beside a lake, “which is the bliss of solitude” and the thought of this memory makes him eternally happy. The reverse personification of the speaker creates a metaphor of comparing himself to a cloud, which creates a fundamental unity between nature and man.
