In Christina Rossetti's "A Wintry Sonnet," speakers include the moon and the ocean. Of which literary technique are such speaker

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

C. Personification

Explanation:

A Wintry Sonnet (Christina Rossetti)

A Robin said: The Spring will never come,

And I shall never care to build again.

A Rosebush said: These frosts are wearisome,

My sap will never stir for sun or rain.

The half Moon said: These nights are fogged and slow,

I neither care to wax nor care to wane.

The Ocean said: I thirst from long ago,

Because earth's rivers cannot fill the main.--

When Springtime came, red Robin built a nest,

And trilled a lover's song in sheer delight.

Grey hoarfrost vanished, and the Rose with might

Clothed her in leaves and buds of crimson core.

The dim Moon brightened. Ocean sunned his crest,

Dimpled his blue, yet thirsted evermore.

Here we see that Christine Rossetti used personification as her main literary technique.

Personification is a literary technique in which a thing (object or animal) is given human attributes (ability to talk, to walk, to think...)

For example, we see in this poem, “The half Moon said...” we are giving the moon the ability to speak, which is a human quality. That's why we can say that the moon has been personified in the given poem. The same we can say about the ocean "The Ocean said...", the ocean is not a living being, it can't speak, so this is personification.

There are a few reasons for using personification:

it can be used as a method of imagery for a better understanding of some author's points of view
it can be used to emphasize some idea
it can be used to help paint a picture in your mind.

I hope it helped you :)

Which quotations from the excerpt best represent reasonable evidence to support the claim that Americans are losing confidence i

mezya [45]

Yes:

For the first time in the history of our country a majority of our people believe that the next five years will be worse than the past five years.

Two-thirds of our people do not even vote.

No:

. . . the willingness of Americans to save for the future has fallen below that of all other people in the Western world.

The productivity of American workers is actually dropping. . .

Explanation:

The quotes in the "no" category do not symbolize a lack of faith in government; while they do allude to Americans losing hope, they do not do so in regards to their government. The quotes in the "yes" category on the other hand, directly tie Americans' lack of motivation and hope to the state of their government. Not voting indicates an unwillingness to choose from the selection of candidates given at election time. A lack of hope for the next five years indicates that the belief that the government will do what's right by the people is quickly fading.

IRISSAK [1]

Basically Daisy wants her daughter to know about the reality of her situation and what she faces. Thinking about her daughter who thinks its okay to be pretty and act stupid to marry a wealthy man. Daisy is already aware what women in her patriarchal day in America they have gone through this just to impress a men and survive the male dominated world. The thing though men had more choices and opportunities than woman and this is what Daisy acknowledges. There isn't too much for her to do. Daisy is not going to be her own person, she would rather have men control her life. This proves that she's a passive woman
