Sliva [168]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:\

While it may be mostly Pagans who celebrate the Yule holiday today, nearly all cultures and faiths have held some sort of winter solstice celebration or festival. Because of the theme of endless birth, life, , and rebirth, the time of the solstice is often associated with deity and other legendary figures. No matter which path you follow, chances are good that one of your gods or goddesses has a winter solstice connection.

Alcyone (Greek)

Alcyone is the Kingfisher goddess. She nests every winter for two weeks, and while she does, the wild seas become calm and peaceful. Alcyone was one of the seven sisters of the Pleiades.

Ameratasu (Japan)

In feudal Japan, worshipers celebrated the return of Ameratasu, the sun goddess, who slept in a cold, remote cave. When the other gods woke her with a loud celebration, she looked out of the cave and saw an image of herself in a mirror. The other gods convinced her to emerge from her seclusion and return sunlight to the universe. According to Mark Cartwright at Ancient History Encyclopedia,

"[S]he blocked herself in a cave following an argument with Susanoo when he surprised the goddess with a monstrous flayed horse when she was quietly weaving in her palace with her younger sister Waka-hiru-me. As a consequence of Amaterasu’s disappearance the world was cast in total darkness and evil spirits ran riot over the earth. The gods tried all manner of ways to persuade the peeved goddess to leave the cave. On the advice of Omohi-Kane, s were set outside the cave in the hope their crows would make the goddess think that dawn had come."

When cotton clothing is permeated, or soaked through, with water, it stays wet and can freeze in cold weather. Based on context
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

Explanation: According to the context of the previous statement, the most probable meaning of the word permeate would be "saturated"; since the meaning of the word permeate is the action of penetrating a body or passing through it. In the previous text the cotton clothing is soaked with water, this means that the water permeated and penetrated the clothes, to the point that it could saturate it with this liquid.

When you consider the theme of a poem, all the elements contribute EXCEPT: Literary devices
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

The correct answer is number of words.

When you are analyzing a poem, you are trying to find its meaning, or rather, the theme that the poem is presenting. There are many ways to do this, but the most common one is to interpret the literary devices the author used, the literal and figurative meaning of his/her words, and the structure of the poem itself.

Whether the poet used just a few or a lot of words has no particular impact on the theme of that particular poem.
