<span>The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.</span>

To me, I believe these lines represent the different forms and tasks of slavery/slaves in America. The slaves in the country were asking about the black berries, like the harvesters on fields that were in the ocean, where they thought life would be better. The slave, equally as distraught asked them about the dark ships, which I believe are slave ships, in the country. This to me showed that they thought there was a better way of life for them available at the time, but truly every black man and woman was struggling with whatever task was put upon them.

Going out to a baseball game can always boost the morale of the players.
Mama L [17]

After reading the sentence carefully, we can identify the problem in it as being the following among the answer choices:

C. Shift in point of view.

  • A shift in point of view occurs when we tell something from two different perspectives.
  • For example, take a look at the sentence below:

<u>"I visited the museum because you can always relax at an art exhibition."</u>

  • Although the sentence is not too confusing, it begins with one point of view, "I", and changes to another, "you".
  • That is what happens in the sentence we are analyzing here.
  • Who goes to a baseball game? The audience. But all of a sudden, the speaker is talking about the players.
  • Of course, the players will be there. But they are not "going" to the game, they are playing it.
  • Thus, there was shift from one perspective, "the audience", to another, "the players".

Which of these elements most contributes to creating tension in "The Japanese
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Author John Galsworthy uses the elements of character and culture to contribute to the rising tension in his short story "The Japanese Quince." From his description of Mr. Nilson, we understand that he is self-absorbed, high-strung, and so habitual that the strange smell of the quince creates tension in him. His cultural milieu is one of white male power and affluence, and his informal meeting with his neighbor Mr. Tandram, who is so much like himself, heightens the tension considerably.
