Summary of blizzard by linda pastan poem
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Explanation:

What could be a worse fate for a modern American female poet than to be lumped into a nebulous, chauvinistic and ever slightly misogynistic pool of cess stereotyped as a “domestic poet.” Anyone unfamiliar with the term coming across it from the first time in reference to a female poet might well believe that domestic poetry is sweetly rhyming verse taking as its subject situations like getting the kids into the van for soccer practice, making cookies for the PTA meeting and, of course, a litany of hatred expressed toward husbands who are never there to help with domestic issues.

Never mind that Robert Frost and Walt Whitman and Wallace Stevens have all at one time or another found a niche within the broadly defined movement or genre of domestic poetry. Which, for the same of brevity, shall be termed poetry dealing with the commonplace of everyday as opposed to epic tales, transcendental unity of man with nature, mysticism, avant-garde experimentation with form over content and various other assorted and sundry types of poems with which the average person cannot relate. Linda Pastan, in other words, writes poems in which she consistently returns to touch upon universal themes dealing with family and relationships and the difficulties of normal existence and the emotional distress of just getting up and living live as it comes.

The tension that always exists between members of a family regardless of the definition or connotation applied to the term “family” has been a great source of inspiration to Pastan from her earliest verse and throughout her development and maturation. By contrast, an equally concentrated examination of the tensions introduced by religious and spiritual expectations has tended to dissipate throughout that process of growing older and becoming more domesticated. In its place Pastan has created a body of work that is far more elegiac and meditative and, it must finally be admitted, less domestic. With the introduction of a more melancholic and reflective poetry that moves into a greater sense of isolation and a solitary contemplation of tactile nature rather than abstract spiritualism, Pastan succeeds in tossing off whatever chains may have been tied around her verse as a result of the unfortunate constriction of trying to pigeonhole her as merely a domestic poet.

What kind of figutive languege involves giving a human traits nonhuman objects?
Sonja [21]
I think what you're looking for is called "Personification"
Personification is where you give non-living objects human-ish looks or feelings, etc. For example take a look at Beauty and The Beast and its two main mascots the little clock guy and the candle. This is an example of personification. <span />

PLZ HELP…Identify a passage in the dialogue between Lizabeth's parents that helps convey their characters.
Ksenya-84 [330]

A passage in the dialogue between Lizabeth's parents that help convey their characters is

  • the scene where her father lamented for not having bought his wife a gift for twenty-two years.

The scene is a very touching one that elicits feelings of pity and grief for the poor condition of the family.

The man laments about not having bought anything for his wife for the past twenty-two years. He is sad and sobs like a child for the deep poverty they found themselves in.

The scene is heartbreaking for it communicates the helplessness of the man in a relatable way.

Even when his wife tries to comfort him by promising a used coat from Mr. Ellis, the man feels more embittered because they have to use the leftovers of the whites.

These emotions are believable for no one likes poverty or having to live at the mercy of others.

Maria is reading an online text that describes an engineering process. She comes across the term column. She believes she knows
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

She should look it up in the Dictionary of Technical Terms

Explanation:

As the word "column" can have various meanings, depending on the field where the word will be used, one should always check if the meaning he thinks he knows is the correct one.

In typography, a word column has a completely different meaning than in the engineering: a vertical division of a page or text.
