7. R18.4 In "So Much Happiness," what does the comparison in lines 1 through 8 show about

English
1 answer:
seraphim [82]3 years ago
5 0

Answer and Explanation:

"So Much Happiness" is a poem by author Naomi Shihab Nye. In lines 1 through 8, the speaker compares happiness and sadness to show that the former is, at the same time, an easy and uncontrollable feeling. Sadness gives us something to worry about, to tend to:

"With sadness there is something to rub against,

a wound to tend with lotion and cloth."

But with happiness, there is nothing to worry about. Happiness does not demand care. It is easy, free, light. So much so that, no matter where you live, or what kind of life you have, with happiness you learn to love it all.

"But happiness floats.

It doesn't need you to hold it down.

I doesn't need anything."

Why does Montag compare the Hound to autumn? (Hint: focus in on pg
const2013 [10]

Answer:

<em>'He could feel the hound, like autumn, come cold and dry and swift</em>

Explanation:

Bradbury uses the simile of the <em>hound like autumn</em> in order to provoke sensations that are similar to the feelings we experience when Autumn is near and Summer is over.

The coldness and the swift character of the (mechanical) hound expresses the emotionless hunting of the machine in the shape of a hound.
