The poem "We Both Live in the Same Village" is from Rabindranath Tagore’s The Gardener, a collection of love poems.

Answer 1: In the poem, the speaker express his love for Ranjana using symbols from the natural environment of the village they live in. The symbolism emphasize the affection in phrases like: "The yellow bird sings in their tree and makes my heart dance with gladness", "Her pair of pet lambs come to graze near the shade of our garden"... The speaker feels happy because all the little things that link his life with the life of Ranjana.

Answer 2:  The proximity between the speaker and Ranjana is evidenced by phrases like: "We both live in the same village and that is our one piece of joy", "Only one field lies between us", this two phrases make clear that they live close to each other, but also the speaker uses more symbolic references to also emphasizes their proximity: "Bees that have hived in our grove go to seek honey in theirs", "When their linseed is ripe for harvest, the hemp is in bloom in our field" (this means that the harvest time is the same for both of them), "The stars that smile on their cottage send us the same twinkling look" (also means that they are really close).

Make an inference about Friar Laurence and Romeo’s relationship, and compare it to the nurse and Juliet’s relationship. Write th
iren [92.7K]
Although Friar Laurence is different from the nurse in terms of personality and how he holds himself, both he and the nurse are similar with their relationships with Romeo and Juliet. With Friar Laurence and Romeo, Romeo relies on Friar Laurence not to tell anyone about him and Juliet, and further asks him to participate by wedding them. This is similar to Juliet and the nurse because the nurse is also aware of Romeo and Juliet’s relationship, but doesn’t tell anyone, and further participated by hiding their relationship and covering for Juliet. One more similarity is that FL and Romeo both rely on each not to reveal R&J’s relationship, because although the Friar is not apart of the relationship, if it were to be revealed, so would the Friar’s participation in it, and the same goes for Juliet and the nurse.

Is Gatsby an Oxford man? Explain.
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

We could say that Gatsby created a picture of himself is an Oxford man.

One of the best evidences which determines Gatsby an Oxford man is a description from the book which refers to Jay Gatsby.

<em>"About Gatsby! No, I haven't. I said I'd been making a small investigation of his past." </em>

<em> "And you found he was an Oxford man," said Jordan helpfully. </em>

<em> "An Oxford man!" He was incredulous. "Like hell he is! He wears a pink suit.</em>

However, he isn't really an Oxford man. He tries to represent him like that in order to impress Daisy Buchanan and renew his relationship with her. With this status, he tries to include himself as a part of elite society, so that the members of the society could accept him as a rich intellectual. His attempts to be an Oxford man aren't convincing enough, so, despite all his efforts, we couldn't say he is a real example of an Oxford man.
