Which phrase best describes Plath's techRead the poem below and answer the question that follows. "Spring" by Edna St. Vincent M

illay To what purpose, April, do you return again? Beauty is not enough. You can no longer quiet me with the redness Of little leaves opening stickily. I know what I know. The sun is hot on my neck as I observe The spikes of the crocus. The smell of the earth is good. It is apparent that there is no death But what does that signify? Not only underground are the brains of men Eaten by maggots. Life in itself Is nothing, An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs. It is not enough that yearly, down this hill, April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers. Source: Millay, Edna St. Vincent. "Spring." Second April. New York: J. J. Little and Ives Company, 1921. Poetry Foundation. Web. 05 May 2011. Which lines from the poem above illustrate personification?Nique in her poem "Edge"?

Answer:

"April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers."

Explanation:

Personification is the technique used by writers when they give human attributes to non-human or non-living entities. This means that non-living things, ideas, and elements are presented as living beings, giving them humanistic qualities.

In the given poem "Spring" by Edna St. Vincent Millay, the lines that illustrate personification is <em>"April Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers."</em> Here, the month of April is presented as a human being, <em>"an idiot"</em> who came babbling and strews flowers around, just like a human being would act.

I need help to underline the added detail fragment. Then rewrite that part of the item to correct the fragment.
beks73 [17]

The added fragment is "especially on Monday after a holiday weekend."

Rewritten, it should be:

"It's always hard for me to get up for work, especially on Monday after a holiday weekend."

You switch the period with a comma.

In the story of The Open Boat the idea is in keeping with the theme of the story that humans are what
Korolek [52]

Despite the narrator’s profusion of animistic (animal-like), humanistic (manlike), and deistic (godlike) characterizations of nature, Crane makes clear that nature is ultimately indifferent to the plight of man, possessing no consciousness that we can understand. As the stranded men progress through the story, the reality of nature’s lack of concern for them becomes increasingly clear. The narrator highlights this development by changing the way he describes the sea. Early in the story, the sea snarls, hisses, and bucks like a bronco; later, it merely “paces to and fro,” no longer an actor in the men’s drama. In reality, the sea does not change at all; only the men’s perception of the sea changes. The unaltered activity of the gulls, clouds, and tides illustrates that nature does not behave any differently in light of the men’s struggle to survive.
