Modernist poetry explored the problems that arose from rapid urbanization and industrialization in the late 1800s and early 1900

s. Which lines in this excerpt from "Anecdote of the Jar" by Wallace Stevens reflect the themes of barrenness and emptiness in modern life?
The wilderness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The jar was round upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.

It took dominion everywhere.
The jar was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Tennessee.

Answer:

The jar was gray and bare.

It did not give of bird or bush

Like nothing else in Tennessee.

Explanation:

The poet shows the effects of urbanization and industralization through the figure of a jar. A jar is the result of manufacturing; however, the poet uses it here as a piece of art. This idea of art is related to the fact that an observer can contemplate an everyday object and turn it into art . This will just take place in the observer's imagination. In the lines above, the jar, as a symptom of industralization, is no longer wild but gray and bare. Nature has been destroyed by industries. Therefore, birds or bushes will not live there any longer. These are signals of barreneness and the fact that there is nothing in a city , Tennessee, shows the emptiness in modern life.

Determine the main idea of lines 843-861 from beowulf by paraphrasing them
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

These are the lines that are found toward the end of the poem. Beowulf is already dead - he has defeated the dragon, but has also died in the process. Before his death, he instructed his men to build a tower in his honor, so this part of the poem talks about that. It talks about how the Geats made this monument for their late king, and how they grieved his death by telling his greatest accomplishments, like defeating Grendel and his mother. Then they hid the dragon's treasures in the tower, as per Beowulf's instructions, so that no one could ever find them.
