allsm [11]2 years ago
5 0

The stanza that illustrates that the city of London is looking ahead with renewed vigor is this one: "Me-thinks already, from this chemic flame, I see a city of more precious mould: Rich as the town which gives the Indies name, With Silver paved, and all divine with Gold." In spite of the calamitous nature and devastating effect of the Great Fire (1666), which Dryden describes so vividly in this famous and extensive historical poem, the author chooses to be optimistic and hopeful, and he even ventures to compare post-fire London with the prosperous city of Mexico ("the town which gives the Indies name"), then under Spanish rule.

What type of listening skills can help you understand and retain information?
oksian1 [2.3K]
Active listening.

Active listening is the ability to focus completely on a speaker, understand their message, comprehend the information and respond thoughtfully.

"what is the nature of mrs. mallard's "heart trouble," and why would the author mention it in the first paragraph? is there any
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Although Mrs. Mallard's hear trouble appears to refer only to a physical condition, her true trouble is that, despite the fact that she is married to a good man, she is unhappy because she does not feel free. In this sense, it is symbolic of the unease that this lack of independence brings her. Also, the mention of her heart condiion at the beinning ofthe paragraph anticipates her eventual death. At first, the reader might think that it is the news of her husband's death that will cause Mrs. Mallard's own decease, but what triggers her heart attack is the revelation that the news were false, and that she has lost all the freedom that she had just begun to envision.
