In lines 1-2, the speaker describes "like" as a "semi-demi goddess" primarily to emphasize the:

- Almost religious devotion people have to collecting "likes" on social media.

This question refers to the poem "Sestina: Like" by A. E. Stallings in which the author criticizes the excessive use of the word "like".

The first two lines of the poem are the following:

"Now we're all 'friends,' there is no love but Like,

A semi-demi goddess, something like"

The author's purpose is to show how devoted people are to getting "likes" on social media.

"Like" is practically a substitute for love. We feel loved when people like our posts.

It is such an intense need of ours that it is comparable to a religious devotion, which is why the author compares "like" to a "semi-demi goddess."

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

AABCCD

Explanation:

Edgar Allen Poe's poem "Eldorado" talks of a knight who journeys through "sunshine ... and shadow", looking for the lost paradise city of Eldorado. The poem is a similar theme of looking for the lost city and how it has caught the interest of many explorers.

The rhymes scheme of a poem refers to the way the words are used in each line of a poem. In the given lines taken from the third stanza of the poem, the rhyme scheme is AABCCD.

Considering the lines of the poem,

And, as his strength (A) 

Failed him at length, (A) 

He met a pilgrim shadow— (B) 

‘Shadow,’ said he, (C) 

‘Where can it be— (C) 

This land of Eldorado?’ (D)

the end word in the first line is "strength", with the same rhyme as "length". So, if we put "A" as the symbol for the first rhyming words, then "shadow" can be put as "B" and "he" and "be" of the third and fourth lines can be written as C. Likewise, "Eldorado" is put as "D".

Thus, the sequence comes as AABCCD.

In Book 9 of the Odyssey, Ulysses saves himself and his men by blinding Polyphemus. Which lines reflect the Cyclops's disappoint

Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

"Long since he menaced, such was Fate's command;

And named Ulysses as the destined hand.

I deem'd some godlike giant to behold,

Or lofty hero, haughty, brave, and bold;

Not this weak pigmy wretch, of mean design,

Who, not by strength subdued me, but by wine."

In these lines, the Cyclops states that Fate had long commanded Ulysses to be the hand destined to defeat him. However, he was expecting this hero to be some enormous giant, or a brave and bold hero. Instead, he is disappointed to learn that Ulysses is a tiny being who defeated him not through strength, but by wit.

First and foremost, you might speak with your librarian. Even if they don’t know the book in question, they will be of great assistance in helping you find it in the library stacks by narrowing down where books on the subject of hot air ballooning might be. If they can not personally assist you, you can take advantage of the library’s computer system to help you track down the book you are looking for. If that fails, you can use the library computers to do a search for books on hot air ballooning.
