The correct answer is expressive.

According to M.H. Abrams, a famous American literary critics, all literary theories can be separated into four groups: mimetic, expressive, rhetorical, and formal.

Mimetic group deals with the relationship between the work itself, and the world surrounding it.

Expressive theories have to do with the connection between the work and the author, which is the case here, since we need to examine the relationship between the poem <em>Introduction to Poetry </em>and its author, Billy Collins.

Rhetorical theories deal with the relationship between the work and the audience reading it, listening to it, or watching it.

And finally, formal theories do the close reading of the work, taking everything into consideration.

Do you think crying is a sign of weakness or strength? Why? 5-8 sentences
elena55 [62]
Answer: I think crying is a sign of strength, as it’s a natural sign of emotion for human being’s. Some people find it hard to express their feelings, as they might be worried of what others might think. While others, mostly men, have to go through society, as society thinks that man should not cry, if they do they are weak or simply “not a man”. This usually happens to males at a very young age, which gives them a mindset to not cry, or therefore they are not “ strong”. Other people usually get bullied by it, getting to be known as a “ crybaby”.many others think it’s a weakness when it’s a natural human response, and example is a baby. A baby cries whenever they need something because that’s the only way they can communicate, which helps alert their guardian to give them what they need. Some people cry as a source to release stress or piled up feelings. I think crying is an incredible way to express feelings, thats why I think it is a strength instead of a weakness.

Theme of the poem wanderer
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The degeneration of “earthly glory” is presented as inevitable in the poem, contrasting with the theme of salvation through faith in God. The wanderer vividly describes his loneliness and yearning for the bright days past, and concludes with an admonition to put faith in God, "in whom all stability dwells".

Read the following line from "The Olympic Swimmer."
Papessa [141]
I'd say the correct answer is D - mythological. Because Neptune is the god of freshwater and the sea in Roman mythology, and he has a counterpart in Greek mythology - Poseidon.
