The correct answer is D. The poet feels that traditional sources of inspiration are ineffective in the modern world

Explanation:

In the poem "Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock", the author T.S. Eliot explores multiple themes including love, inspiration, and the contrast between the modern world and the past. In the excerpt presented, the author refers to traditional poetry and the inspiration he finds in it by using the mermaids as a symbol, this can be seen in the line "I have heard the mermaids singing each to each" that shows how the mermaids or traditional poetry sing or give ideas to the poet.

However, it seems this inspiration is not as effective as the author expects because in the end, the author and the mermaids "drown". Also, the cause of the traditional poetry drowning is the "human voices" which likely refers to the loss of traditional values in the modern how and the mundanity of it.

jonny [76]
In "Sonnet 18'', the speaker describes how the person he addresses is more sweet, temperate and fair than the beauty he sees in nature. He even notes how the sun is sometimes dim and how nature’s beauty is sporadic. And in <span> “Sonnet 147,'' the speaker realizes he is in over his head in love.  He compares love to a disease,  a fever that turns him mad and from which he cannot escape.</span>

In what ways do you think that the life of a raja was different from that of a dasa or dasi?.
lord [1]

Raja was a strong leader who used to govern, whereas Dasa or Dasi are captive slaves who once served their lords. This is how the lives of the two groups differed. Raja is able to make sacrifices, unlike Dasa or Dasis.

A slave was not autonomous, although a raja was. Rajas enjoyed respect due to their position of authority. But in most instances, a slave must have drawn jeers and sympathy.

The rajas had no cities, palaces, armies, or tax collection systems. In general, sons did not always succeed their fathers as rajas.

Later, the word evolved to refer to a slave or dasa. Men and women who were taken during the war became slaves. They were treated as the owners' property, and the owners had the right to demand that they perform any tasks.

Make a claim. Write in RACE method. What do you think the writer hopes people would learn from "The L0st Dog?" Write in complete
mina [271]

Restate the question

Answer the question

Cite the source

Explain

Correct? ^

Answer:

The lesson I believe the writer is trying to convey in the The L0st Dog is fairly on the nose; 'to never lose hope on something you don't know 100%. In paragraph five and six the protagonist is seen running from a group of aforementioned men, barely escaping he end up reunited with his friend Rose, ending the story with the line "[...] Never give up hope on something you haven’t found."

Now I didn't 'explain' 'cause It'd sound redundant but if you want or need to, just add on with '...which means' or '...is/that's an example of,' et cetera.

- Something along those lines at least =)
