How does Walt Whitman’s use of anaphora in this passage from “Song of Myself” emphasize the ideas he is expressing?
<em>The correct answer is, They confront the reader again and again with his ideas.</em>
- <em>They confront the reader again and again with his ideas because it is the purpose of an anaphora to emphasize an idea. This is done by creating an emotional effect with the anaphora, these repetitions grow the final meaning of the sentences in which they are used. They also help us to conclude the idea that is expressed during the whole sentence in a very artistic manner. The repetition of the word nothing has a radical meaning that indicates us, the concluding effect the thought of all men in all ages and lands have. </em>
The answer is: C. The children ran in every direction. Glad to be outside.
- The sentence fragment is "glad to be outside" because it is written as a sentence but, in fact, it is a dependent clause which can not stand alone, it requires at least one independent clause (with subject and verb such as <em>the children ran in every direction</em>) to be considered a sentence, or, as the other answer options illustrate, the dependent clause needs to be followed or preceded by a comma.
