Which two sentences correctly describe elegies?

English
1 answer:
NNADVOKAT [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The first section of an elegy expresses sorrow for the deceased.

The last section of an elegy expresses consolation and comfort.

Explanation:

Elegies are narrative poems written after the death of a person. This poem acts as a means to mourn the death or passing of that person, and acts as a mournful song for the deceased.

Elegies are normally written in such a way that the beginning part expresses the pain and sorrow felt by the speaker at the death of the person. It then moves on to express consolation and comfort towards the end of the poem. Most famous elegies are "O Captain! My Captain!" by Walt Whitman written for Abraham Lincoln and W.H. Auden's "In Memory of W.B. Yeats".

When forty winters shall besiege thy brow,
Komok [63]
Taking into consideration the natural stress that each word has, we can easily identify the stress patter in this line. First, we start with those words which have more than one syllable, and identify the stress pattern within them.

FORty
WINters
beSIEGE

In the context of the sentence, they look like this:

when FORty WINters shall beSIEGE by you.

The words <em><u>for</u>ty<u> win</u>ters </em>are the clue here as they establish a pattern of stressed+unstressed that can be used for the rest of the sentence.

when FORty WINters SHALL beSIEGE by YOU.

Therefore, your best answer is option B.

Is literary device and poetic device same​
zavuch27 [327]

Answer:

Explanation:

Anything that impacts the way a poem or other written work looks or sounds is a type of poetic device, including devices that are also classified as literary or rhetorical devices. Consider your writing whether it's an essay, poem, or non-fiction article as a meal you're cooking.  That's what poetic devices do.
