What does the current OED reflect? FAST!!!

English

Kobotan [32]3 years ago
6 0

The OED is not just a very large dictionary: it is also a historical dictionary, the most complete record of the English language ever assembled. It traces a word from its beginnings (which may be in Old or Middle English) to the present, showing the varied and changing ways in which it has been used and illustrating the changes with quotations which add to the historical and linguistic record. This can mean that the first sense shown is long obsolete, and that the modern use falls much later in the entry.

Write an essay about the thesis of Romeo and Juliet. Use information from the play or book.
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

the start of the play, Romeo is a hopeless romantic, That is to say, He is in love with his enemy's daughter 1 day after breaking up with his first love, for example, at the start of the play when Romeo is talking with Benvolio, Romeo says: “bid a sick man in sadness make his will- a word ill urg’d to one that is so ill: in sadness, cousin, i do love a woman.” He is saying that he is in love with Rosaline but a couple days later he is in love with juliet, he say this to juliet: “My lips, two blushing pilgrims, ready stand to smooth that rough touch with a tender kiss” He confessing love for juliet even though he just broke up Rosaline, this shows me that Romeo falls for people to easily and he is hopeless romantic who doesn’t understand …show more content… When Romeo finds out about Juliet’s death, he rushes to her tomb only to find paris, kills him, finds juliet and then kills himself. For example, by the end of act 5 he says; “O my love, my wife, Death, that hath suck’d the honey honey of thy breath, Hath had no power yet upon thy beauty.” He is explaining how he loves her and she didn’t need to die. Another example is; “Here’s to my love! O true apothecary! Thy drugs are quick. Thus with a kiss i die.” He has killed himself over a girl he barely knew. This shows me that Romeo is being dramatic and foolish when he kill paris and himself. In conclusion, Romeo is a foolish young boy who overreacts when a girl he just me dies. In conclusion of this entire essay, Romeo is a victim of fate, Romeo is a rash and emotional young man. He feels deeply and acts quickly, often without thinking through his actions. His attitude towards love is over-enthusiastic. Romeo believes that love is what makes life worthwhile, which is why he is so desperate to be in love. He stays in love with Rosaline, even after she rejects him, up to the point when he falls in love with Juliet.

Explore how Spender conveys his feelings about his childhood in the poem ‘My Parents’
lbvjy [14]
Spender uses a number of different nature symbols in order to convey his feelings about his childhood. He describes the children he was afraid of and bullied by as tigers and dogs, and writes about them being on cliffs, by streams, and behind bushes. These techniques portray the children's actions as animalistic, while drawing the reader into the fear and tension of the speaker.

Can someone pls explain the poem 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' line by line?
defon

Answer:

The line 'So Eden sank to grief' is an allusion, or literary reference, to the Biblical story about The Garden of Eden, a perfect paradise until Eve ate from the Tree of Knowledge. By making this reference, Frost is implying that the idea nothing good can last is an old one; it's part of our human experience.
