1. Read the following paragraph from "Resistance to Civil Government" by Henry David Thoreau: This American government, —what is

it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will. It is a sort of wooden gun to the people themselves. But it is not the less necessary for this; for the people must have some complicated machinery or other, and hear its din, to satisfy that idea of government which they have. Governments show thus how successfully men can be imposed upon, even impose on themselves, for their own advantage. It is excellent, we must all allow. Yet this government never of itself furthered any enterprise, but by the alacrity with which it got out of its way. It does not keep the country free. It does not settle the West. It does not educate. The character inherent in the American people has done all that has been accomplished; and it would have done somewhat more, if the government had not sometimes got in its way. For government is an expedient, by which men would fain succeed in letting one another alone; and, as has been said, when it is most expedient, the governed are most let alone by it. Analyze the rhetorical style of this paragraph. How does the style contribute to the essay's power? In particular, consider its parallelism and figurative language in formulating your response. Be sure to include specific details from the text to support your answer. (10 points)

Describe, in your own words, how petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love. use examples from the text
Stels [109]

Petrarch employs metaphor to express his ideas of unattainable love by comparing his beloved or Laura to natural phenomenon.

Metaphors are frequently used in Petrarchan sonnets to express his ideas of unattainable love. For instance, the metaphor "In a tremendous storm on an unsecured raft" is also used to describe how he feels in response to her passing which shows that he lost his love.

His blason makes extensive use of metaphor and simile, but the sonnet as a whole is littered with them.

The simple facts that unattainable love gives pain, that time may not heal, and most significantly, that our confidence in God can remain constant as our eyes focus upward rather than toward ourselves or others, may then be revealed by Petrarch's use of metaphors in his sonnets.
