How & why does Thurber use onomatopoeia - words that sound like what they mean?

English
1 answer:
e-lub [12.9K]4 years ago
4 0

Answer:

James Thurber uses many made-up words in "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," but only two or three seem to qualify as examples of onomatopoeia, which is the creation of words that imitate natural sounds.

Explanation:

The pocketa-pocketa-pocketa sound increases because Mitty is unconsciously pressing harder on the accelerator.

Answer:

The answer to Part A would be Ignorant, as the author goes on to state that his youthful understanding had struggled in vain. If someone is ignorant of something, yet they do not take the time to actually go research or learn about that thing, then they would be struggling in vain because they are selfish and not taking time to research what it is that the other person is saying that they do not understand.

For the answer to Part B, I would say that (Frederick) Douglass' new awareness of how owners maintain control over slaves allows him to better understand how to improve his situation. I say this because he seems to have an awakening/epiphany in the very last line: "I now understood what had been to me a most perplexing difficulty".

Explanation:

I hope this helps!

Imagine you are the mistress in this sonnet and you want to respond to the speaker. What tone would you take with the speaker? N
Goryan [66]

This question is about "My mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun" by William Shakespeare.

Answer and Explanation:

The speaker presents a fun and sincere tone in the sonnet.

The response to the speaker should also follow that tone.

The sonnet response can be read below. She was raised from the point of view of the mistress.

My lord does not give me exaggerated praise

You don't see me as a goddess,

Nor does it compare to the beauty of nature.

In fact my lord's sincerity can cry many listeners,

But for me it is convenient.

Because of this true vision that he has of me

I am not obliged to reach unrealistic standards

I can be myself and be comfortable in his presence

This is the greatest example of romance that anyone can achieve.

I also don't see him as a man full of perfection

And I believe that its beauty cannot be compared to that of any Adonis

Nor is his education as refined as that of the noble princes

But I see him as an equal

And that is what unites us more than anything.
