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:

<em>"Now we're all 'friends,' there is no love but </em><em>Like</em><em>,</em>

<em>A </em><em>semi</em><em>-</em><em>demi goddess</em><em>, something like"</em>

  • 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."

Charles Dickens became well-known for consistently utilizing what theme throughout his writings?
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances

Explanation:

<u>The theme of bad people prevailing over good people</u> – this is not the right answer. Dickens’ novels do have the endings when good people end happily.

<u>The theme of rigid adherence to social norms and patterns </u>– this is not the correct answer. Some of Dickens's characters went extremely against the norms of society.

<u>The theme of societal improvement through charitable works </u>– this is not the right answer. Dickens's work did not deal much with the subject of charitable work.

<u>The theme of good people coping with bad circumstances – this is the correct answer. Many of Dickens’ works dealt with good people who found themselves in unfortunate circumstances and had to fight hard for a better life.</u> <em>David Copperfield</em> follows the life of a man from childhood, as he goes through ups and downs when both of his parents die, and he is sent to a strict boarding school. In <em>Great Expectations</em>, both protagonist, Pip, and his love, Estella, live in the lamentable circumstances and have to fight through life. In the novel <em>Oliver Twist</em>, the protagonist of the same name is also an orphan who lives difficult life and meets people who use him; other characters in the novel, for example, Nancy, are described as nice people who had hard life shaped by bad experiences.
