I MET a traveller from an antique land Who said: Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert ... Near them, on the

sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage [face] lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which still survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!" Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away. Which word supports the meaning of decay? (10 points) Colossal Wreck Round Bare

Read the excerpt from "Your Laughter" below and answer the question. Next to the sea in the autumn, your laughter must raise its
slava [35]

Answer and explanation:

Your Laughter is a poem by Chilean author Pablo Neruda. As the name suggests, the laughter of the speaker's loved one brings him great joy, and the purpose of the poem is to describe such feeling. To do so, Neruda uses lots of figurative language and imagery. As we can see in the excerpt we are analyzing here:

<em>Next to the sea in the autumn,  </em>

<em>your laughter must raise  </em>

<em>its foamy cascade,  </em>

<em>and in the spring, love,  </em>

<em>I want your laughter like  </em>

<em>the flower I was waiting for,  </em>

<em>the blue flower, the rose  </em>

<em>of my echoing country.  </em>

We find imagery, metaphor and simile in the excerpt. Imagery is a literary device that uses language to appeal to the five senses, involving readers and helping them visualize or feel the same as the speaker does. Metaphor is a figure of speech used to compare two different things by stating that one thing is the other, meaning that they share a quality or characteristic. Simile is also a figure of speech that compares two different things. The difference between simile and metaphor is the fact that a simile uses support words to make the comparison (as or like).

Throughout the poem, Neruda constantly compares the woman's laughter to things that give life or strength, painting a vivid picture of how her laughter makes him happy.  In the excerpt above, the laughter is a foamy cascade (metaphor), fluid and bubbly as water (imagery). It is also like the blue flower, the rose of his country (simile), colorful and beautiful (imagery). Those literary devices allow readers to imagine her laughter, to feel the exciting feeling of hearing it. They make the poem more vivid, more immersive.

PLEASE HELP !! 25 POINTS!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIST!!
aleksley [76]

Answer:

Explanation:

They were not railway children to begin with. I don't suppose they had ever thought about railways except as a means of getting to Maskelyne and Cook's, the Pantomime, Zoological Gardens, and Madame Tussaud's. They were just ordinary suburban children, and they lived with their Father and Mother in an ordinary red-brick-fronted villa, with coloured glass in the front door, a tiled passage that was called a hall, a bath-room with hot and cold water, electric bells, French windows, and a good deal of white paint, and 'every modern convenience', as the house-agents say.

There were three of them. Roberta was the eldest. Of course, Mothers never have favourites, but if their Mother had had a favourite, it might have been Roberta. Next came Peter, who wished to be an Engineer when he grew up; and the youngest was Phyllis, who meant extremely well.

Mother did not spend all her time in paying dull calls to dull ladies, and sitting dully at home waiting for dull ladies to pay calls to her. She was almost always there, ready to play with the children, and read to them, and help them to do their home-lessons. Besides this she used to write stories for them while they were at school, and read them aloud after tea, and she always made up funny pieces of poetry for their birthdays and for other great occasions, such as the christening of the new kittens, or the refurnishing of the doll's house, or the time when they were getting over the mumps.

These three lucky children always had everything they needed: pretty clothes, good fires, a lovely nursery with heaps of toys, and a Mother Goose wall-paper. They had a kind and merry nursemaid, and a dog who was called James, and who was their very own. They also had a Father who was just perfect—never cross, never unjust, and always ready for a game—at least, if at any time he was not ready, he always had an excellent reason for it, and explained the reason to the children so interestingly and funnily that they felt sure he couldn't help himself.

You will think that they ought to have been very happy. And so they were, but they did not know how happy till the pretty life in the Red Villa was over and done with, and they had to live a very different life indeed.

The dreadful change came quite suddenly.

Peter had a birthday—his tenth. Among his other presents was a model engine more perfect than you could ever have dreamed of. The other presents were full of charm, but the Engine was fuller of charm than any of the others were.

Its charm lasted in its full perfection for exactly three days. Then, owing either to Peter's inexperience or Phyllis's good intentions, which had been rather pressing, or to some other cause, the Engine suddenly went off with a bang. James was so frightened that he went out and did not come back all day. All the Noah's Ark people who were in the tender were broken to bits, but nothing else was hurt except the poor little engine and the feelings of Peter. The others said he cried over it—but of course boys of ten do not cry, however terrible the tragedies may be which darken their lot. He said that his eyes were red because he had a cold. This turned out to be true, though Peter did not know it was when he said it, the next day he had to go to bed and stay there. Mother began to be afraid that he might be sickening for measles, when suddenly he sat up in bed and said:

"I hate gruel—I hate barley water—I hate bread and milk. I want to get up and have something real to eat."

"What would you like?" Mother asked.

"A pigeon-pie," said Peter, eagerly, "a large pigeon-pie. A very large one."

So Mother asked the Cook to make a large pigeon-pie. The pie was made. And when the pie was made, it was cooked. And when it was cooked, Peter ate some of it. After that his cold was better. Mother made a piece of poetry to amuse him while the pie was being made. It began by saying what an unfortunate but worthy boy Peter was, then it went on:
