Answer:

The correct answer is option D. "unfavorable, boding ill".

Explanation:

In chapter 1 of the "The Scarlet Letter: A Romance" by  Nathaniel Hawthorne, the author gives an introduction of the history by telling the audience that he is about to  "pluck one of its flowers", from "inauspicious portal". The author used the word "inauspicious" to describe a portal, in this case the portal is his mind and he jokes by stating that his mind is in an unfavorable condition and boding ill.

What details in sonnet 130 poke fun at sonnet conversations??
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

"Sonnet 130" details the beauty of the mistress but all in the negative way. The comparison of the features, the breath, the hair, the cheeks etc all are shown to be the worst of what they are supposed to be. All these details about the mistress pokes fun at the very essence of a sonnet form.

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Sonnet 130" is quite unlike the regular sonnet form. This sonnet rather demerits the beauty of the lover, while sonnets are most famous for their romantic love themes. Shakespeare's sonnet instead labels everything about the lover as the worst or in the bad light.

Sonnet 130 begins with the description of the mistress' eyes as nothing like the sun. Then he moves on to list the bad qualities of all that is seen in the mistress. He makes her features seem less ideal, demeaning their importance and significance.

Except for the last couplet <em>"And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare / As any she belied with false compare"</em>, the whole sonnet in itself is a parody/ satire of the sonnet form.

Can you recite the poem "amy likes spiders" and tell me who it's by
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:  sorry i dont know who its by.

Poem: you know what I heard about Amy?

Amy likes spiders.

Icky, wriggly, hairy, ugly spiders!

That's why I'm not friends with her.

Amy has a cute singing voice.

I heard her singing my favorite love song.

Every time she sang the chorus, my heart would pound to the rhythm of the words.

But she likes spiders.

That's why I'm not friends with her.

One time, I hurt my leg really bad.

Amy helped me up and took me to the nurse.

I tried not to let her touch me.

She likes spiders, so her hands are probably gross.

That's why I'm not friends with her.

Amy has a lot of friends.

I always see her talking to people.

She probably talks about spiders.

What if her friends start to like spiders too?

That's why I'm not friends with her.

It doesn't matter if she has other hobbies.

It doesn't matter if she keeps it private.

It doesn't matter if it doesn't hurt anyone.

It's gross.

She's gross.

The world is better off without spider lovers.

And I'm gonna tell everyone.
