Which line in the poem London, 1802 by William Wordsworth uses metonymy to refer to art and literature? Milton! thou shouldst be

living at this hour: England hath need of thee: she is a fen Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen, Fireside, the heroic wealth of hall and bower, Have forfeited their ancient English dower Of inward happiness. We are selfish men; Oh! raise us up, return to us again; And give us manners, virtue, freedom, power. Thy soul was like a Star, and dwelt apart: Thou hadst a voice whose sound was like the sea: Pure as the naked heavens, majestic, free, So didst thou travel on life's common way, In cheerful godliness; and yet thy heart The lowliest duties on herself did lay.

Answer: The right answer is "she is a fen Of stagnant waters: altar, sword, and pen, Fireside [...]."

Explanation: These are all references to various institutions and disciplines: "altar" stands for religion, "sword" represents the military, and "pen" represents literature. This is an example of metonymy because the writer is replacing those names (religion, literature) with names of things that are closely related to them (altar, pen). By doing so, his text is more concise, more creative, more symbolic and, therefore, more engaging and intellectually deep. In this poem, Wordsworth is invoking fellow poet Milton, who lived in the 17th century, since their country desperately needs him.

Which alliterative phrase best reflects the theme that the world contains dark and powerful forces?
arlik [135]

Answer:

C). "Could frame thy fearful symmetry".

Explanation:

Literary devices assist the author to employ a figurative language in their work that helps to create rhythm and vivid imagery in the poems which aids to evoke the desired response from the audience. Alliteration is one of these devices that involves the repetition of a similar consonant sound in a phrase or line that helps to create rhythm and attract the readers' attention towards a particular section of the poem which is intended to convey a specific meaning.

In the given question, option C best reflects the theme of 'world containing dark and powerful forces' through the alliterative phrase 'Could frame thy fearful symmetry' as the repetition of consonant sound 'f' in 'frame' and 'fearful' implies 'gloomy' and 'shadowy' tone that uplifts this theme. Thus, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.

Which speech made a stronger use of the appeal to ethics? Write two paragraphs that compare and contrast both speeches in terms
S_A_V [24]
To begin, Brutus’s speech was formal and more directed to the Romans. In his introduction, he starts with “Romans, countrymen, and lovers!” This was used to join everyone together and later help him justify Caesar’s death. Throughout the text, he describes Caesar as an “ambitious” man. Calling Caesar ambitious makes it seem that Caesar only thought about himself. On the other hand, Antony’s speech was more personal and sarcastic. In contrary to Brutus he opens his speech with “Friends, Romans, countrymen…”. This sets up his later statements of being Caesar’s friend. Throughout his speech, he uses paralipsis and repetition to poke at Brutus but at the same time save Caesar’s reputation. Throughout Antony’s speech, he uses devices, tactics, and his sympathy to his advantage. Brutus only had one point, which was that he killed Caesar for Rome, to stand on. All in all, Antony’s speech was better and more persuasive than Brutus's.

Why is Ponyboy finally able to realize that Darry loves him?<br><br> For The Outsiders)
Radda [10]

Answer:

As Ponyboy is passionately hugging Darry, he realizes for the first time that Darry had a silent fear of losing another person he loved. Essentially, Ponyboy misinterpreted his brother's affection and finally realizes that Darry loves him when they see each other for the first time after the abandoned church fire. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team

Explanation:

As the classic "big-brother-turned-father-figure" character, Darry shows his love for Ponyboy through a number of different actions. He displays concern for his education, and hopes that Pony will finish high school to accept opportunities he never had.

He also knows that the world beyond their doorstep is tough, and so he does his best to "toughen up" Ponyboy and the others. All this, while at the same time, Darry is overseeing Pony's advancements in school and in productive areas that will benefit him later in life. As the family fell apart and Darry was thrust into the position of head of household, we see that he carries the responsibility well, and sees after his own in a number of very caring ways.
