Answer:
(2) Romeo does not want Juliet to be like Rosaline, who was like the goddess Diana.
Explanation:
<u>An allusion is a passing reference to a thing that is not explicitly or directly expressed</u>. Rather, it is expressed through the use of other means to show or reveal its intended meaning.
In the given monologue from Act II scene ii of the play, Romeo describes his new love Juliet as like the sun who is fairer than the moon<em> "who is already sick and pale with grief"</em>. This comparison is between Juliet, his new love, and Rosaline, his former love. And the<u> lines of the monologue shows his love for Juliet and does not want her to be like Rosaline, who he thinks, was like the goddess Diana. </u>
Answer:
The correct answer is The speaker in the former knows exactly what her goal is, while the speaker in the latter believes that she has already achieved it.
Explanation:
In the poem <em>Because I could not stop for Death</em> the goal of the speaker is totally clear.
What she wants is for death to lead her to eternity.
The problem is that she realizes that death was not really her faithful friend who would take her to eternity, but that it took her to what would now be her new home: her new grave, <em>“A Swelling of the Ground."</em> which leads the speaker to realize the coldness and cruelty that death has.
While in the poem <em>"Some keep the Sabbath going to Church"</em> we can see how the speaker is really happy with his goal, which is to spend his church day at home. <u>She prefers to hear the birds sing rather than hear a sermon. </u>She does not need to hear how she has to get to heaven, because for her she has already arrived. And <u>she sees it in the nature that surrounds it, and in the tranquility of her home while doing the things she likes.
</u>
Let's remember that<em> Emily Dickinson</em> was one of the greatest poetesses in history, and was characterized by her peculiar way of writing since her subjects were extravagant: she always talked about death and immortality.
Answer:
The sentence that best states the conflict revealed in this passage is:
D. Helen is frustrated by the challenges associated with learning to communicate.
Explanation:
Born in 1880, Helen Keller was both blind and deaf. In her autobiography "The Story of My Life," Keller reveals details of her childhood, focusing especially on her education.
<u>In the passage we are analyzing here, Keller is absolutely frustrated. We learn through our senses, but she has been deprived of two of them - as a matter of fact, two very important ones. Don't we usually learn by either watching someone do something or by listening to them explain something to us? How can Helen learn, then? That is why she compares herself to the ship that is amid a dense white fog, with no compass, nothing to guide her. </u>Anne Sullivan will turn out to be Helen's compass. Sullivan is hired to teach Helen. Patiently and slowly, she will show Helen the world in a very special way.
