How does the structure of Whitman's poem the noiseless and patient spider contribute to the meaning of the poem

English
1 answer:
Leni [432]3 years ago

An extended metaphor provides the overarching structure for the poem. The speaker begins by describing a spider that “stood isolated,” but that “launch'd forth” its threads to make its web over and over again. The poem's second stanza then establishes that the spider is a metaphor for the speaker's soul.

Answer: D. because he feels the exam was painfully tough

Explanation:

Verbal irony: a figure of speech when somebody means something other than what they said/they reality.

Paul says that the exam was as pleasant as a root canal, and root canals are not pleasant at all. This tells us that Paul did not find the exam nice, rather, he found it painful, hence he meant the opposite of what he actually said.

Answer:

Appositive Phrase

Explanation:

Appositive Phrase

An appositive is a noun or a noun phrase that renames the noun next to it. It serves the purpose of adding information about another noun. For example, consider the phrase "The boy raced ahead to the finish line. " Adding an appositive noun phrase could result in "The boy, an avid sprinter, raced ahead to the finish line."

The sentence is still complete without the appositive. However, adding the appositive (an avid sprinter) presents more information about the other noun (boy).
