In this straightforwardly iambic line, Richard extends the metaphor by comparing the erstwhile reign of Lancaster to the gloom of a cloudy sky, playing upon the "sun of York" line that precedes it. Lour'd—Shakespeare uses the apostrophe to signal that "loured" should absolutely not be pronounced as "louréd"—is an archaism (from the Middle English louren; probably deriving from Middle High German luren "to lie in wait") that meant "to look sullen; to frown upon." The reference to "our house" refers primarily to the family of York, although it could also play off one of its meanings as "the management of domestic affairs" (referring to the War of the Roses).

In these lines, Shakespeare describes the end of the War of the Roses. He tells us that this war (a series of civil wars between the Houses of Lancaster and York, two branches of the Plantagenet) is over, and that the House of York has won. The speaker is Richard, who discusses his brother Edward IV's reign.

The speaker compares the reign of Lancaster and the war to the winter, and the reign of York to spring. In the line "<em>the clouds that lour'd upon our house,</em>" the speaker implies that the clouds represent the winter, and the bad times they had just experienced. On the other hand, the word "loured" can be translated as "to frown upon," while "our house" most likely refers to the House of York.

(GIVING BRAINLYIST) Read the excerpt from the story Animals in the Zoo.
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

In Animals in the Zoo, Ryan's mother assures him that they aren't going to operate. In Winter Driving, Jesper pulls his car over, flexes his hands, and takes a few breaths.

Explanation:

Supporting Detail:

In Animals in the Zoo:

He was scared, and his mother noticed right away.

"Don't worry, we won't be operating on the tamarins today. We are just checking their health and looking at their eyes, ears, and hands during this visit

The public wasn't allowed to see them until Ryan's mother had looked them over and made sure they were healthy.

If these two stayed healthy and appeared to be happy in their enclosure, the zoo would be able to get even more tamarins to fill the exhibit which is why they wanted to make sure they had an expert come in to examine them.

In Winter Driving:

The snow was still falling, and he knew he definitely didn't want to get stuck sleeping in his car. He had come this far, and he was determined to make it all the way home.
