Answer:

there it is.

Explanation:

Death becomes life

Is it possible? Was Percy B Shelley depicting an act of resurrection in Ode to the West Wind?Not exactly , though the author was trying to imply that from the action of the cold west wind , spreading not only dead leaves but also seeds, spring will come and with it, the commencement of life.

The persona in this poem is a great admirer of the West Wind because it acts as an annihilator as well as a protector of living things.He praises the wind´s power coming in some  kind of chariot which ironically lets seeds low as in a graveyard.."Each like a corpse within its grave.." but with the purpose of putting them in the right place for their germinating and budding.He mentions the wind is a .."Destroyer and preserver..".

Additionaly ,this appreciation of the West Wind is perceived by the use of exalting expressions referring to its strong and .."uncontrollable" action.The West Wind has wings, speed and it is a deliverer .For the time being, Autumn , leaves are falling and the poet seems to recognize he is falling too as he is aging.He wishes he could be as "..fierce..tameless ..impetuous"... as the Wind.Nevertheless, he is a human being and will perish one day.

The veneration  of the West Wind is due to the fact that in every cycle of life the Wind will come and go and come again. What Shelley exhibits with his words in "Ode to the West Wind" is the glorification of something that will live for ever, that brings death in order to bring life, whereas he as a man will one day be gone for good.

How does the author create surprise in this myth?
Katen [24]

In<em> Damon and Pythias, </em>the author creates surprise when Dionysius pardons Damon and Pythias.

<em>Damon and Pythias </em><u>symbolizes friendship.</u> In the myth, Pythias is accused of conspiring against Dionysius and condemned to death. In that way, Damon offers himself to be held hostage and also to die in his friend's stead if Pythias does not return. However, when Phythias returns to save Damon's life, <u>Dionysius is so moved by their friendship and their loyalty that he ends up freeing both of them</u>. That is the 'surprise effect' that the author of the myth creates.

In what is a dream What is the primary tone of the narrator throughout the story? A. Intense anger B. Frantic despair C. Cold in
lesantik [10]

Answer:

I would say that the primary tone of the narrator throughout <em>Was it a Dream</em> is <em>B: Frantic despair. </em>

Explanation:

I chose B because in this story <u>the narrator spends all his time mourning over his lover's grave, it is like he can't accept his lover's death, and he is overwhelmed by the memories of this woman.</u> In this story, we can see how afraid he is of loneliness and how he feels lost, not only in the cemetery where he constantly goes to visit his love's grave, but also <em>he feels lost inside</em>, he doesn't stand life without her, he doesn't know what to do. Also, when he finds her over her own grave writing the truth about her death and about her man's betrayed, the narrator feels crushed. <em>The feeling is that the narrator is definitely hopeless, that is why I chose B.</em>
