In "A Defence of Poetry,” Shelley suggests that thoughts and feelings in life are "always arising unforeseen and departing unbid

den.” Which lines from "Mutability” also reflect the idea that life is fleeting?
-We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;
How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver
-Or like forgotten lyres, whose dissonant strings
Give various response to each varying blast
-We rest.—A dream has power to poison sleep;
We rise.—One wandering thought pollutes the day
-We feel, conceive or reason, laugh or weep;
Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away

Answer:

-We are as clouds that veil the midnight moon;

How restlessly they speed, and gleam, and quiver

In these lines, Shelley compares people to clouds that appear at night and veil the midnight moon. He states that these clouds "speed, gleam and quiver" restlessly. The metaphor is intended to reference human life. Just like the clouds, human life is brief. Therefore, these are the lines that best support the idea that life is fleeting.

How is Whitman's attitude toward death in "Song of Myself" similar to
Rzqust [24]

Answer: A. Both poems suggest a form of life after death that should not be  feared.

Explanation:

In the poem<em> 'Song of myself'</em> , from Whitman's collection <em>Leaves of Grass</em>, Whitman describes death as a new beginning, a return to life. In the poem, he states that “…to die is different from what any one supposed, and / luckier.” He suggests that people should not be afraid of death.

In<em> 'Because I Could Not Stop for Death'</em>, Emily Dickinson presents death as a spiritual rebirth. She describes her journey from life to afterlife, accompanied by Death. Death is personified in this poem and is not intimidating at all. He is a very generous guide and makes her journey a rather pleasing experience.

Both the authors support the same idea - that death should not be feared, as it leads to nothing but a life after death.

Need a eight-sentence paragraph advances in the technology are making people less social
gogolik [260]

Currently, every person seems to be connected to a cell phone or tablet. Technology prevents people from having a quiet lunch, chat to each other and spend time as a family. Apart from that, instead of calling or even drop by to see how the other person is, they send an audio. Social media is making society less sociable! Kids spend their time playing on- line games instead of playing games in the park. Examples are extensive and opportunities to relate to each other face to face are getting fewer by the day.
