successful
obnoxious

<span>Based on thу excerpt from F. Scott Fitzgerald's "Winter Dreams," represented above, I think that the third option from the attached scale clearly shows the meaning of the word priggish. I am pretty sure that obnoxious is the most suitable word to explain the meaning of the whole phrase, but if you are not so sure, check it in dictionary. Do hope it will help you in your homework.</span></span>

Why might the poem be titled “Full Powers”? What is the source of the speaker's creative powers?
STatiana [176]

The source of the speaker's creative powers comes from the beauty of the world that the poet had witnessed.

<u>Explanation:</u>

"Full Powers" is a Latin poem written by Pablo Neruda which was translated by Ben Belitt and Alastair Reid.

Pablo Neruda titled the poem "Full Powers" to demonstrate the civic life and the power of the politicians and the need of objectifying their domination. The source of the speaker's creative powers comes from the beauty of the world that the poet had witnessed.

He is put in confusion of what life really is and the existence of linguistic habits and the facade kindness of the politicians. He tries to break the political struggle through the poem, "Full Powers".
