I'm what way did romantic poetry differ from earlier forms
Reil [10]
I would Pick two. When poets show and explain the feeling of love Its mostly through words which speak from the strong emotions and experiences they had. Many types of love can be unexplainable through writing or seem kind of like a fairy tale. But each romantic poem differs from one another because its poets personal Emotions they share with another human being. Love as individuals isn't the same but has human caught up in such a powerful Emotion yet something we see as love.

It is definitely not B nor D because those two have negative meanings. It can't be C because excessive means "beyond the usual", which has a slightly negative meaning.

The answer should be A, conversational.

Which element does a translator make decisions about that effect the tone and pacing of a story?
Oksanka [162]

The translator is an author, a writer who does not start writing from scratch, but from a text written in a language that he has to translate into a different language, adapting it at the same time. The translator not only has to transfer the lexical and syntactic aspect, in fact, a set of words, although well constructed at the syntactic level is not enough, it is not very comprehensible and will lack that "something" that every good translator has to give to the text . The fact that a translated text must remain faithful to the meaning of the original text, without compromising the linguistic norms of the target language, is a key principle of translation, more or less shared by everyone. From this principle all the considerations of the translator and the translation techniques that he chooses are based or have to be based. The translator, as far as possible, has to try to overcome the obstacle of double translation and try to make his version as similar as possible to the original. A so-called "bridge language" is sometimes used.

2. What literary device does Shakespeare use to develop Helena's character?

- METAPHOR

Based on the lines, metaphor was used because Helena's character wishes to follow Demetrius likened to a dog (spaniel). Just like a dog, even if the master hurts or hits him, he will still remain loyal and true. Just like Helena's devotion to Demetrius.


3. what is most ironic about Lysander's last words before he falls asleep?

- Lysander tells Hermia that he hopes he dies before his loyalty to her ends. This is ironic because his loyalty will end as he sleeps when Puck does him with the love potion.


4. What is an example of dramatic irony is this Act?

-Bottom is unaware that his head has been transformed into a donkey's head. The audience knows that he has a donkey's head, but he has no idea!

Bottom thought that the other characters has been playing a trick on him so he cannot continue with his performance as Pyramus.


5. What do these lines reveal about Helena?

- She distrusts Demetrius and Lysander's feelings for her.

Helena has always considered herself inferior to Hermia. She knows that the one guy she likes is in love with Hermia. That's why she cannot trust her feelings when Lysander and Demetrius came courting her.
