What does the metaphor mean in line 9?

Answer:

D The light shines and then disappears.

Explanation:

In the poem "On the Shore" by Sarah Chauncey Woolsey, the metaphorical meaning of line 9 is 'the light shines and then disappears.' The poet says that though the light emitted from the lighthouse can be seen from afar, it only lasts for a while.

Through "A moment of bloom, and then it dies ", she says that the light at first shines and blooms like a rose with full vibrant and energy. However, it soon fades away slowly by dawn when the morning light rises from the horizon.

This is why the poet says that light of the lighthouse is short-lived and only comes with its full glory during the night time.

hram777 [196]

Answer:

Nick stops his action because as he observes Gatsby from the distance he notices it is a private moment for Gatsby as he trembles when observing a green light through the water close to Daisy's house, therefore he does not feel comfortable to interrupt the moment for his neighbor.

Explanation:

At the end of <em>The Great Gatsby</em> the famous novel written by the North-American author F. Scott Fitzgerald, it is possible to see how Nick has a real interest to present himself to the famous, mysterious and millionaire Gatsby, however he notices there is something really personal happening through his mind at that moment. Nick can see from the distance how Gatsby is in a deep thinking moment as he stretches his arms towards the water with his trembling body, which looks like an intimate moment, a moment after Gatsby simply disappears and Nick finds himself alone again.
