Mama L [17]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Thoreau is saying that it makes no sense for a simple man, who had nothing to do with the formation of such a beautiful pond, to name the pond. Giving the pond such a simple name as "Flint's Pond" is discrediting all of the beautiful animals and beings who dwell there such as the ducks, the fish, and the beautiful flowers. The pond was named in the selfish thought of money, rather than majesty.

In "My Name," the line "My name is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday
Lelechka [254]

The correct answer is Metaphor

Explanation:

In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.

Which of the following is a trait of American romanticism? a. glorifying industrialization and modernization b. exploring the im
blsea [12.9K]

The correct answer is B. exploring the imagination and emotions of the individual.


C also can be correct, but if you need to choose just one answer, then I'd rather go with B. Romanticism in general is all about emotions, and the imagination that both the authors and the characters portray in their lives. A is all about Modernism, rather than Romanticism. D and E are all about Enlightenment and Classicism, rather than Romanticism.
