In Edgar Allan Poe’s “The Raven,” the speaker says, “Much I marveled this ungainly fowl to hear discourse so plainly.” What does

the speaker mean when he describes the raven as “this ungainly fowl”? It is frightening. It is loud. It is clumsy. It is annoying.

<em>Fowl </em>refers to poultry. Moreover, when something is <em>ungainly</em>, we may say that it lacks smoothness, coordination and grace, or that it is inelegant. It is, in fact, the opposite of graceful.

Taking into account this information, we may argue that by describing the raven as "this ungainly fowl," the speaker means that it is clumsy.

Why did Alice keep her maiden name of “Walker”? <br> Pls help
krok68 [10]

Walker made the decision to retain and embrace her maiden name, Walker, as a reminder of that walk.

What is maiden?
Some people mourn and resent the Maiden, while others worship her and treat her like a fetish. The Maiden is a traditional representation of the innocence, independence, and individuality of childhood. She is an unmarried woman who is young, naive, free-spirited, and uncontaminated by the world. She follows her instincts and frequently engages in creative experimentation. She also has a propensity to let life happen to her and frequently finds herself in situations where she is defenceless and in need of assistance.

Alice Walker's <u>great-great-great-great-grandmother</u> was a slave who travelled by foot from Virginia to Eatonton, Georgia—regarded as Walker's ancestral home—carrying two infants on her hips. Walker made the decision to retain and embrace her maiden name, Walker, as a reminder of that walk.
