Which of these excerpts from the poems you read is an example of personification?

Hatshy [7]

An example of personification is:

I placed a jar in Tennessee, / . . . It made the slovenly wilderness / Surround that hill (Stevens, "The Anecdote of the Jar")

The correct option is A.

Personification is the representation of things in human qualities or nature in abstract terms.

In the above lines from the poem "The Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens the jar has been personified as a symbol of technology and humanity and Tennessee is a symbol of nature and wilderness. The poem is about the struggles and hardships which a human undergoes to overcome the wilderness. The human-made creation like jar restricts the intensity of the wilderness as humans control nature.

Which sentence best states the main idea of the selection?

aleksklad [387]

Answer:

C) Little Free Libraries are growing in popularity around the world because they bring neighbors together and make books more accessible.

Explanation:

A. is not the right answer. While DooSun liked building Little Free Libraries because, as he says, books are equal to treasure and he wanted to share it, this is not the main concept of the selection. DooSun‘s story is only part of the text.

B. is not correct. Little Free Libraries are not built by gathered funds, but by individual people.

C. is the correct answer. The point of the excerpt is to tell the story of a few Little Free Libraries and how they grow around the world. The text tries to explain this is because people feel a sense of community, as this way they can share their experiences about books with the neighbors since Little Free Libraries make reading more accessible to all in the area.

D. is not the correct answer. While Little Free Libraries are hand build boxes for various novels, this is just an explanation of what they are and not the main idea of the text.
