5 0

"Heat", by Hilda Doolittle, is a short poem that speaks about the effects of really strong heat on the speaker. It has several characteristics that make it unique, aside from being really short. The first is, we do not know who this speaker is, or where exactly the person is. All we know is that there is a lot of heat and that it must be somewhere tropical because of the mention of fruits falling from trees. Not much else is known. We also know that the speaker has strong feelings and emotions being generated by the sense and perception of this heat. Another thing is that as for literary devices, "Heat" is very particular in that it does not stay with just one device; it makes use of several. One of them is hyperbole, in order to create imagery, which is the end goal. But it also uses a lot of alliteration. In fact, when talking about the wind, one of the characteristics that comes forward is the repetition of the T consonant almost throughout the stanza. The correct answer, then, is B: Alliteration.

If humans are good by nature, give me some examples to support that claim.

weqwewe [10]

Just to be honest, most humans are not good by nature. Yes, most of them are not, but believe me, when you think there aren't any good ones, there are. I have a "grandma" and I say it that way because she's not actually related to me at all, but I just call her that. She is super nice, and caring and never curses, unlike every, single, person in my family. She never criticizes and always supports people. And don't let the that make you think that only old people are good by nature because that's also not true. I have a friend, who is super loyal and also never puts anyone down, and just overall does nothing bad or negative. And that's also not to say that "shes just not showing her true self" because she does, she drools when she sleeps, and burps around me, and has feelings about other people like everyone does, but doesn't put anyone down and keeps to herself. She helps people in need, and would stay up all night to talk you out of sui.cide.

Which sentence best describes the excerpt from William Shakespeare’s sonnet 130?

slega [8]

The correct answer is A. The poet uses unusual metaphors to imply the intensity of his love. Basically, what he does is compare her looks to various things that are generally considered to be beautiful and then he states that she's nothing like that but that he still loves her. This is even better because it's easy to love things that are appealing, however, he loves her even though she might not be as visually appealing.

fgiga [73]

<span>Conclusions made on the basis of unstated or stated evidence are called inferences.
Those are some realizations that a person comes to based on proof which may or may not be obvious at the first glance. A reader may infer something on the basis of context or clues that can be found all over a text. The other options don't really make any sense here.
