One of the most important themes of the story is that there is no need to grow up so quickly. Maria feels the need to grow up quickly, as she feels that she is too old to enjoy the things that she enjoyed before. This is particularly true when it comes to family vacations. At the beginning of the story, Maria feels she is too grown up to go on holidays with her family. She is not emotionally mature to understand that there is no need for her to be so grown up right away, and that spending time with her family is not a sign of immaturity, but only a sign of love. However, her changing attitude emphasizes the theme of the story. As the story progresses, Maria changes her attitude. Towards the end she realizes that although she is growing up, the break with her family does not have to be so complete.

Which quotation from "Uses and Abuses of the Umbrella" most clearly demonstrates that the author is using a comical tone? "Cork
kompoz [17]
I believe it is the first quotation. "Cork hats and newspapers of more than eight pages were invented for the rain."

I think this is the correct answer because this quotation doesn't even mention umbrellas, but tells us about the other things we can put on our heads when it rains. The second, third, and fourth options may have non-comical meaning as well, depending on the context.

how does the division of the poem into two stanzas contribute to its meaning? in the peom a dream within a dream by edgar allen
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The two stanzas contributed to the meaning of the poem " A dream within a dream" because although the stanzas are not identical in length, their similar use of iambic rythm and couplets and triplets in their end rhyme scheme helps create a pattern which matches the parrallel of their ideas.

Explanation:

The two stanzas are linked through the ironic similarity of their nature. The first stanza of the poem shows the first person point of view of the narrator parting from a lover and afger bidding goodbye from his lover, He thinks that their union is nothing but a dream. whereas the second stanza places futilely trying to grasp a handful of sand in his hand. The grains of sand suggest those found in an hour glass.
