What does the poetess say about the sea and the feet of the children in the photograph?​

English
1 answer:
MakcuM [25]2 years ago
5 0

Answer:

She says the human's feet and bodies are always changing, they are fleeting and impermanent, while the sea always looks the same and seems to look unchanged.  

Explanation:

Poetess Shirley Toulson expresses her experience of watching a photograph of her mother as a child in her poem "A Photograph".

In one part she describes the image with the words:

<em>And the sea, which appears to have changed less,</em>

<em>Washed their terribly transient feet</em>

<u>This line reflects the passage of time and the stillness of nature.</u>

<u> The feet of the girls, one being her mother as a child, have changed so much over the years.</u> The girls got older and their bodies grew older, so the feet so have changed so much and to <u>exists like that only for that short moment of taking a photograph</u>. The look of the human’s body is only temporary, it changes until it finally dies and disappears from the material world, just like the poetess’s mother did.

Yet,<u> nature seems to stay the same</u> <u>– seas stay in the same place for hundreds of years, always remaining blue. </u>No matter how many people pass, how many people it touches, it looks the same to us.

<u>Therefore, the poetess compares the passage of time and how it is reflected in the human body, to how it doesn’t mean anything for nature.</u>

Which sentence most clearly uses hyperbole?
Juliette [100K]

Answer: C

Explanation: hyperbole is exaggeration- a term that isn't technically true, it just kind of feels like it is because of the situation, like "I'm so hungry I could eat a horse," that sort of thing.

C is overreacting a little: "We will never be able to feel safe" ever again no matter what we do "unless we set a curfew." It's being dramatic to make the point that a curfew will help us feel more safe.

Can someone create a essay on the similarities between the two storys "Loser" and "At Dusk"??? Please?
irinina [24]

Answer:

Loser and At Dusk...

both are amazing stories let's compare them.

so first, Loser is a tender story about Donald Zinkoss, a young character who demonstrates great self-acceptance and who is not afraid to fail. With the encouragement of his family, he learns to approach life with a positive spirit and to enjoy all that it has to offer.

Now about at Dusk. 'Dusk' by Saki is about Norman Gatsby, who's cheated by a young man about needing money. He tells Gatsby that he had set out to buy some soap and has now forgotten which hotel he's staying at. Initially, Gatsby is suspicious, but he later finds a bar of soap on the ground, which confirms the young man's story.

The themes in "Loser" include success, persistence, and conformity while the themes in "at dusk" include perception, deception, and guilt.

The loser is the story of a boy who was branded a loser by his classmates because of his poor performance in school and athletics. He was persistent and was eventually successful.

At Dusk is a poem about deception. It's hard to see people as they truly are at dusk. In about city, everyone is a stranger. The themes include perception, deception, and guilt.

. Vocabulary: For the next five questions, choose the vocabulary word that best fits the context of the sentence. You may have t
cestrela7 [59]

Answer and Explanation:

First, if we understand the meaning of each word, it will be easier to fill in the blanks. Let's take a look:

a. exonerate - clear, absolve, acquit

b. culminate - to reach a climax; to end in something

c. eminent - famous and respected at a certain field

d. persevere - to persist, to keep on, to continue

e. feasible - achievable, likely, practical

Now, let's complete each sentence. Let's also make any necessary changes:

1. I don't know if it is feasible to try to attend both the basketball game and the birthday party tonight. - No changes needed

2. Many of the city's premier artists and eminent businessmen attended the fundraiser. - No changes needed

3. The opening ceremonies of the Olympics culminated in a fantastic fireworks display. - It's best if we use the verb in its past form: culminate --> culminated

4. The football player was exonerated of all charges filed against him. - Let's use the past participle of "exonerate" since the sentence is in the passive voice --> exonerated

5. I admire Mitchell's perseverance despite his obvious physical handicaps. - this sentence needs a noun to complete the blank, so we need to transform "persevere" into a noun --> perseverance
