Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

There passed, as a shroud

A fleecy cloud,

And I turned away to thee, - The night is changeable

I gazed awhile.

On her cold smile;

Too cold—too cold for me— - Moonlight can be uninviting

And dearer thy beam shall be;

For joy to my heart

Is the proud part

Thou bearest in Heaven at night, - Stars evoke wonder

Explanation:

In this poem, "Evening Star" by Edgar Allen Poe, a fleecy cloud passing by the moon at night changes the view of the speaker. His gaze falters and he turns away from the "cold smile" of the moon to look at the evening star. This could represent how the night is changeable in its views, how things are constantly moving and changing- every slight passing of a cloud, variation in the moonlight, appearance of the stars, their positions, etc. It could also represent how the changing night changed the speaker's gaze.

The speaker doesn't connect to moon well and calls her smile "cold", "too cold," and despite it being brighter than the stars, calls her moonlight "pale" and "lowly." He describes the moon as residing among her "slaves"- the planets, and presents the moon in an image of coldness and arrogance. Hence, moonlight, for him, is uninviting.

The speaker's heart is filled with joy when he looks at the evening star. He says that the beam of the star is "dearer" to him even if it is so far away. His affection towards it is all the more because of the distance, despite which its light reaches him, and the significant part the star has in the night sky or the "Heaven," according to him. He admires and prefers its "distant fire." All this adds to the sense of how the stars evoke wonder by the virtue of their light, distance, position and personal significance to the speaker.

In his attempt to explain the difference between Importance and Expression to Grendel, the dragon uses the examples of the diffe

Softa [21]

Answer:

The dragon uses the examples of animals and vegetables to explain about man's inevitable move towards complexity. Vegetables can be regrown by using a bit of its part, while an animal has a head that controls every other part. Likewise, man has the ability to adapt to any change in his environment, which leads to the choices he make. And it is this superior ability of man which signifies the gap between man and other beings, just like importance and expression are different.

Explanation:

When Grendel went to the cave of the dragon in Chapter 5 of the text Grendel by John Gardner, the dragon began teaching about everything. He proclaimed that he knows and hears everything, exclaiming that it's what "makes [him] so sick and old and tired".

And in his attempt to teach Grendel about the difference between importance and expression, he uses the example of a jug. He states "the jug is an absolute democracy of atoms", but devoid of expression. To him, "Importance passes from the world as one to the world as many, whereas expression is the gift from the world as many to the world as one." This shows that what is deemed important may not necessarily be expressive.

In other words, his attempt to explain the difference led to the animal/vegetables analogy. He explains nature's consequent move to complexity which he relates to the case of man's ability to adapt to his environment despite Grendel's belief of their foolishness. He uses vegetables and animals as examples between man and a rock. A rock is a simple object, which may be whole in its being but unlike a man, it is not capable of doing anything to change its existence. On the contrary, man can adapt to his surroundings and change his ideas, even at the last minute. Animals have a head which leads the other body parts, like a man does. But vegetables and rocks have no such ability, which renders their limited abilities. To summarize is points, the below quote from the text rightly presents the difference-

"If the dominant activity be severed from the rest of the body--if, for example, we cut off the head--the whole coordination collapses, and the animal dies. Whereas in the case of the vegetable, the democracy can be subdivided into minor democracies which easily survive without much apparent loss of functional expression."
