The basic unit of meter in poetry is a foot.
Syllable would be the correct answer if the option said 'stressed or unstressed syllable,' because there are two types of syllables, not only the unstressed one. An iamb and a trochee are types of feet in poetry, so they are incorrect as well. A foot is a unit of meter which consists of a number of syllables.
In "To an Athlete Dying Young," the poet writes an elegy for a young, athletic man who recently passed away. This is naturally a sad subject, and the poet does begin his writing with a sad and somber tone of pity.
However, the author makes use of the structure of the poem in order to surprise his readers. Despite the sad tone of the first stanza, as the poem progresses, the tone becomes one of satisfaction and praise, which comes as a surprise to the reader.
The author is able to use each stanza to present different and contrasting ideas. While he agrees that dying young is a shame, he reflects on how quickly youth is gone, and on how many men lost their reputation by the time they became old. He claims that, by dying young, the athlete will never have to face old age, decline or loss of glory. Therefore, despite the sadness, the author is able to obtain some positive ideas from the situation.
<span>It's really-really hard to understand where are these terms. It looks really messy. But I've defined these terms and sort 'em all, so check out my answers:
</span>1. I'm definitely sure that universality is the quality of being understood or shared by all.<span>
2. I guess this is about act II from Our Town by Thornton Wilder. So if my memory serves me well, the answer is: F</span>lashbacks were used when Emily and George met in the drugstore dialogue.<span>
3. D</span>ialogue - speeches made by actors flashbacks. As you know, dialogue is the speech between two or more people. I remember dialogues in these flashbacks.<span>
4. The word scrim has a lot of meanings but in this case I think this is </span>a thin curtain transparent when lighted from behind.<span>
5. I guess this is also about Our Town by </span>Thornton Wilder and I'm definitely sure that the answer is: three years is the time elapsing between Act I and Act II.
<span>
6. I'm not very confident about this question, but this is the only option that left about time elapsing. So the answer is: </span>nine years is the time elapsing between Act II and Act III.<span>
7. Realism is </span>exemplified by the rooster's crowing, the factory whistle, and so forth. Realism shows things as it is, and this is the most obvious answer as for me. <span>
8. According to Our Town by </span>Thornton Wilder:<span> C</span>onflict is the idea that man wants things to remain the same and resists change.
<span>
9. M</span>orality is <span>the type of play of which Our Town could be considered an example morality. In my view it's the main theme of this play.
</span><span>
10. If I got it right there is only one option left, and the answer looks like this:</span><span> Monologue is the device used by Wilder for exposition.</span>
Answer:
Fences
Explanation:
1: THEME OF RACIAL DISCRIMINATION
This is seen in Troy as he wasn't given the chance to participate in playing baseball when he was younger.
Bono observes that Rose wants the fence in order to keep those she love in
Rose also shows that she wants the fence as a source of protector,she shows this by her song.
Troy makes some statements in the book that makes people believe he uses the fence to keep MR. death away,he uses it to demarcate what belongs to him and those on his side. Eg: when he sends Cory out,he tells Cory that his things would be on the other side of the fence.
N:B This above is my opinion and as it is said, literature can have many meanings so use the above to help urself carve out ur own answer❤️
