English
1 answer:
monitta2 years ago

Answer:

The two quotes that are examples of imagery are:

“I was besmeared with muck and mud, and the green slime that had collected on the surface of the dead water”

“My clothes were in tatters, my hands, face, and body covered with scratches”

Explanation:

<u>Imagery is a literary device that appeals to the five senses. Through imagery, authors can involve readers with their descriptions, having them feel as if they can see, touch, or smell something. Through word choice, authors can create vivid pictures to help readers visualize a scene, as if they were characters in the story.</u>

Among the options given, there are two that use imagery:

“My clothes were in tatters, my hands, face, and body covered with scratches” and

“I was besmeared with muck and mud, and the green slime that had collected on the surface of the dead water”

<u>The word choice in the quotes above help us visualize what the narrator looks like - how dirty and injured he looks, for instance.</u> The other two options, on the other hand, do not use words that convey any description that appeals to the five senses.

In your opinion are the moments of happiness that the speaker finds by chance or does he seek them out
galina1969 [7]

Answer:

The speaker seeks the moments of happiness in the poem From Blossoms.

Explanation:

From Blossoms is a poem written by Li-Young Lee. The poem talks about finding happiness in small moments and capturing them in your memory. He shares his experience of eating peaches in the poem.

After reading the poem, I opine that the speaker is seeking moments of happiness. By saying <em>"There are days we live/ as if death were nowhere",</em> the speaker is asserting that he choose to live in happiness as if death is nowhere. This means that the speaker is not thinking much about the future but living the present moments of happiness and capturing them in his memories.
