What influence did transcendentalism have on Walt Whitman's "When I Heard the Learn'd Astronomer"?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Whitman gets up and walks out of the lecture hall because he is tired of all the words, numbers, and technicalities about stars and he just goes outside and looks at the stars in the night sky and that is all he needs psychically. It ties in with Emerson's transcendental idea that man is (or should be) just a big eye ball who observes and experiences but try to dominate or interfere.</span>

A) use an adjective to describe the behavior of most people in the passage

Pani-rosa [81]

Adjectives are words used to describe, show the characteristics of something.

You didn't show the excerpt that this question refers to, which makes it impossible for me to show you the adjective you need, but I'll show you how to find that adjective.

As stated above, an adjective is a word that shows the characteristics of something. Examples of adjectives are the words: ugly, beautiful, noisy, apprehensive, nervous, small, happy, indifferent, excited, silent, among others.

In this case, to answer your question you must:

Read the entire text.

Identify the way people, described in the text, behave.

Find the word that best represents this type of behavior.

In this case, we can conclude that the function of the adjective is to describe, and by trying to describe the behavior of the population, you will be able to find the adjective you need.
