Answer:
This is an example of compression because:
C. It uses fragments instead of complete sentences.
Explanation:
Let's analyze "For Sale: Baby Shoes, Never Worn." What we have here are not complete sentences, but fragments. That means words are missing, such as verbs, subjects, etc. Let's imagine what the whole passage would be like if we added everything that is missing:
- Items that are for sale: baby shoes that were never worn.
It is too much. There is no need to use all that to advertise an item. Thus, we can compress the sentences by fragmenting them and using only the most important parts. What we need to know is that something is for sale. It is baby shoes. They were never worn. Thus: For Sale: "Baby Shoes, Never Worn." That is all we need.
That is common when we need to convey a message quickly and directly. Notice that the signs placed in front of houses that are for sale never say "this house is for sale." We can infer that it is the house they are talking about.
In Book Eight of The Odyssey, when Odysseus is at the royal court of the Phaeacians, he asks the bard Demodocus to sing a song about Troy. The bard does so, and Odysseus responds by “clutching his flaring sea-blue cape in both powerful hands, [drawing] it over his head and [burying] his handsome face...” It seems that Odysseus is overcome with grief, but he is the one who asked for the song in the first place. It seems like he is crying just so King Alcinous would ask him to tell his story to the assembled crowd. In contrast, in “An Ancient Gesture”, the author provides Penelope’s point of view, weary and plagued by grief. As Penelope unweaves the shroud each night, she “suddenly bursts into tears” because “there is simply nothing else to do”. Penelope has been weaving and unweaving night after night to avoid marrying one of her many suitors while Odysseus has been living with goddesses and enchantresses on his long journey home. The reader is left wondering if Odysseus’s tears in the Odyssey are authentic compared to Penelope’s tears.
In the Odyssey the reader gets to know about Odysseus journey, but not Penelope's experience. Millay supplements this absence, and let the reader know that everybody griefs and goes through pain and difficult times.
The Nurse is really uneducated and has a dirty mind mainly because she talks about how her husband asked Juliet is she would "Bend over" which ment at that time to have intimate relations and laughed when she said yes. Her improper grammar and the fact that she cannot stay on one topic for long suggests her lack of an education.
