What is one reason Steinbeck uses parallelism in The Grapes of Wrath?

Zepler [3.9K]

I found another post that is this same question, I copied it for you.

Steinbeck uses parallelism in the Grapes of Wrath because he wanted to emphasize the fact that the people were not happy when the new migrant moves into their neighborhood. He also shows how the migrants form close bonds with each other due to their similar struggles and life experiences. Parallelism is the balance between two or more similar words or phrases. By using parallelism, the author improves his writing style and readability of his novel. Parallel construction also improves the reader's understanding of the story.

Read this excerpt from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday:

OleMash [197]

B. It supports the myth by providing real facts about the custom of antelope hunting by the Kiowas.

Immediately options C and D should be eliminated. In the excerpt there is no mention of teepees or winter so these are not valid answers. This leaves option A and B. The difference between the two is that Option A says the description is from a personal point of view. A personal point of view should be written in first person with the pronouns I, me, my. The excerpt is written from third person point of view so it is not option A.

What is the meaning of religion in The Day of Destiny in Le Morte D’Arthur. Which religious themes are there?

Bogdan [553]

A person's’s identity is so important within the world of Le Morte d’Arthur. Each character is defined not only by his familial relations, but also by his abilities, whether on the battlefield, as a lover, or as a leader. A person is also defined by his loyalties to his country or liege. Knights are usually defined with epithets about their abilities or loyalties, sometimes given through fate, sometimes through their own accomplishments. Many people struggle with identities given to them by fate or circumstance. For instance, when Arthur was young, he thought of himself as the adopted son of a landowner and knight, not as the heir to all of England. After Arthur learns he is the son of Uther Pendragon and Igraine, he has a hard time accepting his identity, even though that identity compels him to take power meant for him by fate. Similarly, his son Mordred also has difficulty accepting his identity - though he is predestined to kill his father, he is bothered by the Archbishop of Canterbury's statements on his sinful conception.

In at least 100 words, describe how Whitman's "sling of Myself" embodies Transcendental ideals

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

The poet wishes to maintain the identity of his individual self, and yet he desires to merge it with the universal self, which involves the identification of the poet's self with mankind and the mystical union of the poet with God, the Absolute Self. Sexual union is figurative anticipation of spiritual union.
