What is the plot and key themes of “ the prisoners”

English
1 answer:
sweet-ann [11.9K]2 years ago
7 0

In this story, a young woman who is “daughter and wife of a forester” is home alone with her mother. The daughter’s wife is serving in the French army; the father is in town drilling with the local militia. This young woman is strong and unafraid. When half a dozen Germans show up demanding to be fed dinner, she tricks them into her cellar – once, apparently, an underground prison cell – until the local militia can come to take them into custody. The young woman is represented as a fine example of patriotism, courage, and quick wits; the French should be proud of her (and her father certainly is, although it is implied that the leader of the militia is happy to take credit for the capture). The militiamen, however, don’t get an uncritical treatment. I will leave this part spoiler-free, but an unfortunate and avoidable incident highlights that they are less competent than our daughter-and-wife.

In the song "Revolutionary Tea," why do all of the stanzas end with a phrase repeated three times? Select all that apply.
Afina-wow [57]

In the song "Revolutionary Tea," all of the stanzas end with a phrase repeated three times because;

  • It is based on the form of a traditional English country song.
  • It was intended as a rhythmic refrain to be sung by groups of people in taverns.
<h3 /><h3>Why was repetition a core feature of this song?</h3>

Repetition was a central feature of this song because it is a typical English country song.

Most importantly when people in a group repeated stanzas and phrases, many found that it was exciting and got the crowd in a joyful mood. So options B and D are right.
