Answer:

When We Two Parted

788-1824

When we two parted

  In silence and tears,

Half broken-hearted

  To sever for years,

Pale grew thy cheek and cold,

  Colder thy kiss;

Truly that hour foretold

  Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning

  Sunk chill on my brow—

It felt like the warning

  Of what I feel now.

Thy vows are all broken,

  And light is thy fame;

I hear thy name spoken,

  And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,

  A knell to mine ear;

A shudder comes o'er me—

  Why wert thou so dear?

They know not I knew thee,

  Who knew thee too well—

Long, long shall I rue thee,

  Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met—

  In silence I grieve,

That thy heart could forget,

  Thy spirit deceive.

If I should meet thee

  After long years,

How should I greet thee?—

  With silence and tears.

Not mine. Quoted from someone else-""When We Two Parted" was written in 1816 by the British Romantic poet Lord Byron. It describes the pain and disillusionment that follow a break-up between the speaker and his lover. Though little detail is provided, it's implied that the original relationship was secret—most likely an extramarital affair—and that the speaker now feels bitter upon hearing about his lover having an affair with someone else. Most scholars believe this poem to be about Byron's relationship with Lady Frances Wedderburn-Webster, a married aristocrat with whom Byron had an alleged affair. She was later rumored to have also had an illicit relationship with the Duke of Wellington—a prominent British military leader—which in turn, the theory goes, prompted the writing of this poem."

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.

Which of these inferences is best supported by the following passage (paragraph 2)?
klio [65]

Answer:

The inference that is best supported by the passage is:

A. The writers of successful films learned from the plot structure outlined in Campbell's book.

Explanation:

When the author of the passage mentions movies such as "The Matrix", "Star Wars" and "Lord of the Rings", the purpose is to show how important and effective Campbell's structure is. It is not that those movies plagiarized anything. And it is not that Campbell analyzed those movies. It is just an archetypal structure, that is, a structure that can be found almost universally and that is effective precisely because it is understandable. The author does not say that a movie that does not follow that blueprint will be a failure. There are movies that do so effectively and are acclaimed for that. But, whether we like it or not, most successful movies - at least the Hollywood ones - do tend to follow that blueprint with a high degree of success.
