This question seems to be incomplete. However, there´s enough information to find the right answer.
Answer:
In the article "Inquiring Reporter," by Claire Kifferstein from Girls High Record, the claim is the question about the Regents' examinations being valuable or not.
Explanation:
A claim is a statement of opinion, which is supported by evidence in the form of claims and counterclaims. The main claim appears in the first paragraph of the article. The rest of the text provides evidence that supports the claim that Regents are valuable, under the subtitle "Pro", as well as evidence for the claim that they’re not, in the section "Cons."
Metaphysical conceits are not too strictly defined, but the general idea is that the poet makes use of a clever and unusual extended metaphor throughout much or all of a poem.
In Holy Sonnet XIV, the idea of the speaker as a city barricaded against God's advances is a metaphysical conceit.
Donne is really interested in physical, earthly love, but also really into God and holiness. The huge problem he must deal with is that he is trying to define a sacred, spiritual relationship, but the only tools at his disposal are the language we use and the lives we lead here in the non-sacred world. The Bible makes a big point of this the language God uses is not the language we can use, so the kinds ofcomparissons Donne can make are inherently limited. Our words and metaphors just cannot describe what happens when you get close to God. Donne writes about something he really cannot express, and that struggle is a big calling card for all of his poetry.
It is in the final couplet, that Donne describes how he 'never shall be free' unless God 'ravishes' him. This powerful image that is deemed as holy creates a paradox between purity and sin, symbolising God dominating Donne with ultimate control to become unified as one in the hope of gaining an immortal partner.
Considering John Donne's personal and professional history, Holy Sonnet XIV can also be seen as a personal processing with his own struggle with God and religion in general.
These comparison were very useful to understand the whole poem and read it in a deep way.
Answer:
It makes the speaker sound casual
Explanation:
The use of "cause, a-swimmin, and awesome" by the poet makes her sound casual. A casual text is one that is written in a relaxed tone, and an informal manner. Such a text makes use of everyday language that is easily understood by the reader. As a person reads the poem, "Ode to an Otter", there is a feeling of familiarity and good understanding of what the poet is saying because of her choice of words.
She abbreviated <em>because</em> using <em>'cause' </em>and<em> always swimming</em>, using <em>'a-swimmin'</em>. This removes the formality in the poem and makes it informal or casual.
Answer:
If an author is writing about historical events, they should include historical material, but to emphasize it he should also probably add dialogue or a narrator, depending on the story.
