2. What type of fallacy is represented by the passage below?
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Ad hominem attack

Explanation:

A logical fallacy is a flaw in reasoning.

Ad hominem (literally translated as <em>to the person</em>) is a type of logical fallacy in which a person criticizes or attacks another person, rather than what they are saying. Here, the speaker doesn't critize the mentioned poem. They don't give explanations about why the poem is not good. They simply attack the writer, stating that they are a sick and morbid person. That is not a valid reason as to why someone shouldn't read a poem.

DaniilM [7]
1. The Prairie - James Fenimore Cooper. This novel is a part of Cooper's Leatherstocking Tales, which consist of 4 additional stories. It tells the story of Bumppo, who is willing to help anyone who needs help on the American frontier. Written in 1827, it is one of his most important works as it gives a lot of insight into American history of the time.

2. The Power of Sympathy - William Hill Brown. It is considered to be the first American novel, even though it is not a classic novel - it is written in the epistolary form, which means that it takes the form of letters. It tells the story of what can happen if you give in to your passions.

3. The Marble Fawn - Nathaniel Hawthorne. Written in 1860, this novel tells the story of what happened during the American Civil War, but in Italy. It is a romance, which means that the story is about love between the characters, and about their life and struggles.

4. The Red Badge of Courage - Stephen Crane. This is a novel about war, the American Civil War, to be more precise. It tells the story of one soldier who decided to flee the battlefield in the middle of the battle because he was afraid and we can see the consequences of his decision.

5. For Whom the Bell Tolls - Ernest Hemingway. This is another war story, but this time set during the Spanish Civil War. It is one of his most famous novels because it vividly portrays the disasters of wars as the protagonist is told to blow up an entire bridge.

6. a serious analysis of a literary work - literary criticism. The word criticism doesn't necessarily refer to anything bad. It just means that the critic is reading a novel and writing his or her own opinion about that, which could be either good or bad - or they could be completely indifferent. 

7. Charlotte Temple - a domestic sentimental novel. Written in 1791 by Susanna Rowson, the novel tells the story of a schoolgirl who starts a relationship with an older man, in which process she gets pregnant and poor and is left on her own to take care of her and her unborn child. The novel was quite successful at the time. 

8. Samuel Clemens - Mark Twain. Samuel Clemens is Mark Twain's real name - Mark Twain is just his nom de plume. He decided to use another name so as not to be so easily recognized. He is one of the most important American authors of the Realism era.

9. A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court - a novel of satire. The author, Mark Twain, was a famous humorist and satirist, so obviously this work would represent a satire of sorts. It tells a story of a Yankee engineer who suddenly found himself at King Arthur's court in Camelot. 

10. The Grapes of Wrath - John Steinbeck. Steinbeck got a Nobel Prize for Literature for this novel in 1962. The book is set during the era of the Great Depression, and tells a story of a family which is forced to move in order to seek better life conditions during this difficult time in American history.

11. Pilgrim's Progress - allegory. The author, John Bunyan, used names to refer to abstract entities. So, we can find characters such as Obstinate, Faithful, Help, etc. to denote the qualities which they represent by having such names. 

12. Yoknapatawpha County - William Faulkner. This place is fictional - Faulkner made it up and included it in his works. According to him, it is located somewhere in Mississippi County, but it is based on a real place called Lafayette County.

Can you formulate a theory about poetry interpretation?
Ksenya-84 [330]

Poetry is open to more than one interpretation.

<u>Explanation:</u>

For the most part, the limit of the Poetry will have numerous understandings. The Poetry gives various kinds of writing depends on the interaction of words and musicality. It frequently utilizes rhyme and meter (a lot of rules overseeing the number and game plan of syllables in each line).

In Poetry, words are hung together to shape sounds, pictures, and thoughts that may be excessively mind-boggling or theoretical to portray straightforwardly. The objective of an understanding is to show up at a subject, the message, behind the Poetry. These are a couple of key parts to concentrate on when starting to decipher a bit of idyllic writing.
