Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

"Am I addressing the White Queen?" "Well, yes, if you call that a-dressing," the Queen said. "It isn't MY notion of the thing, at all."

... "If your Majesty will only tell me the right way to begin, I'll do it as well as I can."

"But I don't want it done at all!" groaned the poor Queen. "I've been a-dressing myself for the last two hours."

It would have been all the better, as it seemed to Alice, if she had got some one else to dress her, she was so dreadfully untidy.

—Through the Looking Glass,

Lewis Carroll

When Alice uses "addressing," she means.

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

c. writing out envelopes

When the Queen says "a-dressing," she means

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

c. writing out envelopes

Answer:

a. talking to

b. getting dressed

Explanation:

The word "addressing" as used by Alice, means that she would like to know if she was speaking to the queen, that is, if she was referring, in her words, to the queen she wished to speak to at that moment. Carroll, uses that word to make a pun on the moment when the queen is trying to dress and look presentable, for this reason, the queen uses the word "a-dressing" where she shows that she is trying to dress appropriately.

How does the first person point of view impact the poem?
Liula [17]

Answer:

A. The narrator is able to communicate his deep emotion, grief, and irrational thinking.

Explanation:

I believe the poem being asked here is about "Annabel Lee."

Annabel Lee is a poem written by<em> Edward Allan Poe</em>, a popular figure of Romanticism in the USA. The poem describes<u> the narrator's deep love for Annabel Lee.</u> Thus, it becomes essential to tell his feelings through narration. In this way, <u>the narrator's emotions can be understood by the readers. </u>

For example, in the poem, the narrator tells the readers that his love happened a long time ago and that their intense feelings made the angels envious. Even after the death of her love, the narrator expresses his love for Annabel Lee even beyond the grave. So, here, he expresses his grief about the death of his love, yet he also wanted to portray a deep emotion for her even after her death.

Revisionism is a historical discipline that study how States a rule the different social classes  but dominating only  a minority of the population,  which subsists upon the rest of society.

What does Lily Bart mean when she says she almost ""landed"" Percy Gryce? In the house of Mirth
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Lily meant to imply that she almost succeeded in making Percy Gryce agree to marry her.

Explanation:

Edith Wharton's <em>The House of Mirth</em> revolves around the life of Lily Bart who is trying hard to attract a wealthy man for her husband while she has her beauty. But as the story unravels, she met some unfortunate fate where she was despised, wrongly accused and even let go from her job, while at the same time missing out on a huge inheritance money from her rich aunt.

In the initial years before the death of her aunt and the numerous accusations, Lily was adamant in getting herself a rich husband. When she says that she almost "<em>landed</em>" (chapter 3) the wealthy but boring young bachelor Percy Gryce, she is implying that she almost succeeded in getting him as her husband. "Landed" is a word used to signify a successful possession.
