Edgar Allan Poe uses many sound devices in his poem "The Bells." Which words from the poem are examples of onomatopoeia? Keeping

time, time, time, In a sort of Runic rhyme, To the throbbing of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells— To the sobbing of the bells:— Keeping time, time, time, As he knells, knells, knells, In a happy Runic rhyme, To the rolling of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells:— To the tolling of the bells— Of the bells, bells, bells, bells, Bells, bells, bells— To the moaning and the groaning of the bells.

They had the correct answer.

<u><em>Onomatopoeia:</em></u><em> The formation of a word from the sound that word makes; A poetic structure of words that convey how something sounds.</em>

I believe your answer is "moaning" and "groaning". When said, both sound as if you are doing the action of the word.

If you can pick more than two, than I might suggest "knell" as well, although it does not quite sound like the action. To knell is to ring solemnly.

I'll put this here for anyone still looking for the answer, or for anyone who needs confirmation.

Onomatopoeia is a figure of speech which imitates sounds heard in nature. Having that in mind, the example of that figure in this poem would be moaning and groaning. The moaning and the groaning of the bells is a reference to the moaning and the groaning that animals and humans can produce.

1st person: is a mode of storytelling in which a storyteller recounts events from their own point of view using the first person such as "I", "us", "our" and "ourselves".

2nd person: is often used for giving directions, offering advice, or providing an explanation. This perspective allows the writer to make a connection with his or her audience by focusing on the reader. Second person personal pronouns include you, your, and yours.

3rd person: the narrator exists outside of the story and addresses the characters by name or as "he/she/they" and "him/her/them." Types of third person perspective are defined by whether the narrator has access to the thoughts and feelings of any or all of the characters.

I’m not sure about the last question like I don’t know what it is asking but yeah here’s this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

6. REREAD Reread lines 80-87. In what way is Lincoln's death a
rewona [7]

Answer:

Yes, Lincoln's death affected Douglass.

Explanation:

Both Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass wanted to abolish slavery. They both were fighting a common fight which had divided the nation.

Douglass always looked up to Lincoln and his ways. They both even spoke about abolishing slavery from the nation completely. So, after Lincoln's death, Douglass had lost a friend. Still he carried out Lincoln's work speaking against social injustice and racial discrimination. He demanded equal rights for African Americans.

Thus, Lincoln's death was also a calamity for the nation as African-Americans had lost a leader who led them fighting for their rights and justice.

Which historical reality let to the development of the modernist poetry
Juliette [100K]

Hilda 'H.D.' Doolittle, Ezra Pound, and Richard Aldington were the pioneers of modernist poetry, writing in rejection of the formalism of Victorian poetry and European society. World War I had a profound effect on the further development of the modernist movement. The poetry that followed World War I reflected the disillusionment of those who had experienced the tragedy and horror of modern combat. T.S. Eliot's 'The Wasteland' is an example of the disjointed and fragmented verse arising from this disillusionment.
