English

Answer and Explanation:

"The Lady of Shalott" is a poem by author Alfred, Lord Tennyson. The speaker of the poem tells the story of a lady who is cursed. Several people are mentioned in the poem, the main characters being the Lady of Shalott herself and Sir Lancelot. <u>However, the speaker himself is NOT a character in the poem. The whole poem is told from a third-person point of view. At no moment does the speaker insert himself in the story. To do so, he would have to shift to a first-person perspective, even if briefly, and that does not happen.</u>

Kites: Birds of Glory
Margaret [11]

Answer:

The idea that kites are skillful fliers is all throughout the text. Both in comparison and in contrast with birds, the author develops the concept of a kite as if an actual living bird, and as one, it has its own skills and characteristics.

Explanation:

The text begins with a general overview on raptors, and then he says: "The most glorious feathers of the peacock or the vibrant plumage of a bunting cannot compete with the power of a peregrine falcon or the determination of an osprey. Included in this group of hunters, however, is one bird of prey that is little known but equally impressive. The kites of the world are generally smaller than most raptors, but just as astonishing in skill and grace as any other hunter of the skies." Here, we have the very first moment in which kites are seen as skillful fliers.

Then, he/she goes on with its characteristics and the author itself states that "kites are generally masterful in the air and represent a group of birds that are among the most acrobatic of fliers." To continue with this idea of kites as living birds, the author claims "if you are lucky enough to see one in flight, you will be amazed at the quick turns, graceful moves, and speedy pursuits of this bird". With this, he/she's comparing a situation which sightseers are very familiar with: the difficulty of seeing the most majestic birds. "Look for them above large fields, especially during the summer" completes this concept by giving you the place where you can find them, because he/she knows they are graceful and you should not miss them.

Finally, the author gives us the idea of kites being like birds when he describes them physically and compares them with "common birds" which cannot catch their preys while flying: "Both kites are known to eat while flying, unlike most other birds of prey. This practice conserves energy and allows them to hunt almost continuously".

In the final stanza, the poet uses words such as “spice” and “acrid” to appeal to the reader’s
hodyreva [135]
If this is about H.D.'s poem "Sea Rose", then the answer is the olfactory sense (sense of smell).

In the last stanza, we've got the second contrast in the poem (the first one was "a wet rose single on a stem"): a "spice rose", which is a particular kind of rose, very lavish and beautiful. "Acrid fragrance" is a unique feature of the sea rose that the speaker talks to, and she doubts that this spice rose can have it. In other words, even though the sea rose is "harsh" and "marred", atrophied, destroyed by the sand and the winds, it still has a more distinct and beautiful smell (even though it is acrid) than a regular, nurtured, home-grown rose.
