English
1 answer:
natima [27]3 years ago
6 0

Answer and Explanation:

1. He feels surprised and curious. This is because the green knight is a strange, peculiar, intriguing and somewhat frightening figure. In addition, he arrives suddenly and unexpectedly at court, which leaves not only the narrator surprised, but everyone present at the time. The knight does not have a friendly appearance, which leaves the narrator uneasy.

2. To reveal the narrator's impressions, the author uses descriptive language. This language is loaded with adjectives that are capable of showing in detail the state of the narrator in relation to what is happening. However, the use of descriptive language goes beyond and is able to not only describe the narrator's reaction but also establish an image of what is happening to justify the reaction that the narrator is exhibiting.

how does the poem, When I Heard the Learn’d Astronomer, connect to the principles of transcendentalism?
vazorg [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

In Walden, one of the many Transcendental concepts Thoreau expressed is the idea that God does not exist in some far away place, but lives instead all around us. "Heaven," he wrote, "is under our feet as well as over our heads." As a Transcendentalist, Thoreau believed that God manifests Himself in the natural world; therefore, nature lives as the source of spiritual truth for those who will seek it there. The poem's persona is one such person.

After listening to the astronomer analyze and "explain" the universe with his charts, diagrams, and mathematical formulas, the poem's speaker becomes "tired and sick." He leaves the stifling atmosphere of the confining lecture room and goes out into "the mystical moist night air."

The influence of Transcendental philosophy can be seen in the contrast between the attitudes and values of the lecturer and those of the poem's speaker. The astronomer intellectualizes nature, perhaps even brilliantly. He is very intelligent, but he is not wise. He understands facts, but he misses truth. The poem's speaker, however, understands that the truth of the universe, of nature itself, can only be understood spiritually. Rejecting the astronomer's carefully reasoned "proofs," he seeks truth instead by "[looking] up in perfect silence at the stars."
