Why does Whitman call ship "grim and daring" in line 4?

English

hoa [83]3 years ago

Line 4: “Keel” has multiple meanings. The first is the part of the ship that goes along the underside that gives the ship stability in the water. This usage really doesn’t make much sense, though, because one can’t see a “steady keel” unless the boat has fallen over. The other use of keel here is as a synecdoche. The keel, a part of a boat, is used to represent the whole boat. More importantly, "the steady keel" lets us know that, despite its rough trip, the ship (like the nation) remains steadfast and true.

Answer:

<em>Hamlet is never afraid to express how he feels, but is constrained by doubt and despair. </em>

<em>Hamlet's feigned madness is mirrored by Ophelia's actual descent into insanity.</em>

<em>Horatio is Hamlet's most faithful friend, while Rosencrantz and Gildenstern prove to be treacherous and untrustworthy.</em>

Explanation:

Characterization in literature is used in order to provide information on characters that the author judges important to share. Its role is to facilitate the reader's understanding of the upcoming events and plots as well as the behavior of<em> </em>the<em> </em>character in question.

Characterization can be <em>explicit </em>(it provides information <em>directly</em>, through the words of another character or the narrator for example) and <em>implicit </em>(informing us <em>indirectly</em>, which means we are to conclude from the character's behavior, appearance etc.).

Answer:

Imagery

Explanation:

One of the techniques that Irving is using in this text is that of imagery. Imagery refers to a type of language that is used by poets or other authors. It includes figurative language that uses creative ways to describe a thing, place or situation. It also employs devices such as metaphors and similes. In this case, Irving is using imagery when describing the expression the person had, the pain he felt and the horror he inspired.
