Refer to Explorations in Literature for a complete version of this poem. Near the end of "The River Merchant's Wife: A Letter,"

B.They suggest that the beauty of the natural world is fleeting and cannot compare to the lasting beauty of two mature people who love one another.

C. They show that, even when two people are mature enough to be in love, separation and time can cause their feelings to change and dim and wither.

How does a story’s time period provide the reader with a reference point? Your answer should be 2 to 3 sentences.
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The story's time period provides the reader with a reference point, for if someone reads a book about the early eighteen hundreds, they can assume that slavery has not yet been abolished and that people are outwardly racist. This helps provide a reference point, as if you didn't know the time period, you would be confused as why these events were happening.

The ambiguity in Daisy Miller: A Study is best represented by _____.
Tpy6a [65]

<u>Answer:</u>

The ambiguity in Daisy Miller: A Study is best represented by the use of natural settings. So, here the right answer is Option D.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Henry James’s novel “Daisy Miller” talks about a girl named Daisy Miller whom  Winterbourne met abroad. The character Daisy has different traits. She is independent,  spirited but also shallow and not to forget an absolute flirt. She has no charm and wit but can  manipulate really well so that she stays as the centre of attraction.

The author uses various  natural settings to build this character ambiguously. This means that the character doesn’t  come up with any specific traits. It is not very clear whether Daisy is good or bad.  Winterbourne is also facing the same dilemma. It is up to the reader to interpret Daisy’s  actions and draw a conclusion about her personality.
