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

English
1 answer:
hoa [83]2 years ago
7 0

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.

What does the narrator in the story, "The Tell-Tale Heart" want people to think about him?
galben [10]

Answer:

What does the narrator of "The Tell-Tale Heart," want people to think about him? He wants people to think he is intelligent & patient.

Explanation:

In "The Tell-Tale Heart," the narrator is speaking directly to the reading audience. In the first line of the story, the narrator says, ". . .but why will you say that I am mad?" Here, the "you" directly addresses the reader.

At the end of the story, the narrator hears his victim's heart beating underneath the floorboards. His heightened sensitivity to imagined sounds demonstrates his paranoia and mental instability. It's also possible he mistakes the sound of his own accelerating heartbeat for the dead man's Hereof, why does the narrator think he is not mad in the Tell Tale Heart? The narrator does not want his listeners to believe that he is mad because he wants what he has to say to be taken seriously and not written off as the ravings of a lunatic. Why does the narrator finally confess to the murder? He hears the heart pound and he thinks that the police can hear it but aren't tell. ... It was his own heart beat.So, the title also refers to the narrator's heart. ... We could look at the whole story of the old man's murder as a tale told by the narrator, a tale from his own heart. The title refers to both the narrator's heart, and to the old man's heart, and to the tales told by both.
