Answer and Explanation:

"Islands and Icebergs" by Ralph Semino Galan is a poem about reading a poem. <u>The speaker asks readers to imagine the paper as being the ocean and the words to be floating on the that ocean. That is a clue as to why he writes three lines per stanza. The length of the lines, along with their number, reminds us of the waves, even the foam, to floats up and down, back and forth, on the ocean. The author wrote three lines per stanza as a way to make the poem itself resemble an ocean, instead of simply asking as to imagine it.</u>

Which line in this poem indicates that the poetic speaker is hopelessly in love?
Rzqust [24]

The correct answer is option letter E (He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away). Taken from the sonnet sequence “<em>Astrophel and Stella</em>” by Philip Sidney (1591), Sonnet 8 narrates the moment when Cupid travelled to England from his native home in Greece, since Greece has fallen under control of the Ottoman Empire. Cupid felt cold in this new territory and as soon as he saw <u>Stella's brilliant face</u>, he thought it was a source of heat, but it was not. Instead, her face was like “<em>like morning sun on snow</em>”, that is, it was bright but cold. The best line in the poem that describes the poetic speaker hopelessly in love is the one in letter E, since this option describes <u>how Cupid's wings were burnt by the flames of Astrophel's desire for Stella</u>. This event leaves Astrophel hopeless and uncertain of Stella’s capacity of loving, after Cupid's best efforts to live in her face.

A. How do the men react to<br><br> Okonkwo's harsh words towards<br><br> Osugo? [RL 10.6)
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

In the story, Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe,

In Chapter 4, in the scenario wherein Okonkwo belittled a man who contradicted what he says, he threw hard and harsh words at the man named Osugo. This Okonkwo's attitude was seen and witnessed by the men in the clan present in the Kindred meeting and it does not please them, yet they are shocked and did not allow Okonkwo to act like that, as they took side with Osugo.

Explanation:

Why?

In Chapter Four (4) of the story Things Fall Apart by Chinua Achebe, Okonkwo, the main character in the story has encountered a man named Osugo. It is during a kindred meeting wherein Okonkwo belittled those members of the clan who were less successful. Osugo, one of those less fortunate men, can't stand the rudeness and harshness of Okonkwo and speak against him. Though Osugo acknowledges the successful life of Okonkwo which he achieved through hard work and patience, in his perspective, it is not enough to embarrass and degrade people who are not his level.

Therefore, Okonkwo with his pride, spoken saying "This meeting is for men" which implies that he humiliates Osugo as not a man and not should be in the clan. This attitude of Okonkwo struck and upset people, especially the men who heard the humiliation. The men reacted taking the side of the other man Osugo. In short, they stand against Okonkwo's attitude, and the oldest man take part reminding Okonkwo to not forget to be humble despite of his success.
