vazorg [7]2 years ago

The "beast from air" is a dead parachutist from the war overhead, over the island. The boys easily appropriated the parachutist for the beast because of the shadows the body of the parachutist was moving up and down along with the parachute in the breeze which casted a scary shadow on the mountain side.

inn [45]
<span>Sonnets 71-74 are usually grouped together and are linked by the poet's thoughts on his own mortality. In the relationship with his dear friend, the poet is the older man, and, believing he will die before his young man, he creates this verse, in part, to help console his friend. It becomes clear as we read the many sonnets focused on the ravages of time that Shakespeare was consumed by a profound melancholia brought about by persistent pondering on loss and death. In other sonnets, the poet finds solace in his dear friend, who is presented as his redeemer, both spiritually and emotionally. But even his lover cannot release him from the sadness that comes with knowing he will die, and "with vilest worms to dwell." The hopelessness expressed in this sonnet seems to indicate that the poet's faith, at least at the time of writing this particular poem, was deeply lacking. Moreover, the last two lines reveal the poet's intense insecurity and anxiety over his relationship with the idealized young man, as he fears that their friends will mock the lover's regard for him, illustrating the lover's lack of good taste and judgment. </span>

Meter influences all of the following elements In a poem except ... Meaning Setting Rhythm Pace
icang [17]
<span>The correct answer is B. Meter does not influence the setting of a poem.

Meter influences meaning, rhythm, and pace. Meter influences these elements because it is a pattern of beats. As a result, meter directly affects rhythm and pace. Meter can also influence the meaning of the poem, because meter can control whether the poem sounds happy or sad.
 
Meter does not, however, influence the setting. The poet conveys the setting through word choice and imagery, both of which are separate from meter.</span>

Yanka [14]

The correct answer is A) He set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

What Acrisius did to try to keep the prophecy of his death from being fulfilled was that he set his daughter and her child adrift at sea in a sealed chest.

We are referring to Greek mythology. After consulting the Oracle of Delphi, Acricus was told that one day he will be killed by the son of his daughter Danae. That is why he decided to imprison his daughter in a chamber, but God Zeus impregnates her. The baby was named Perseus. Angered by the situation, Acrius decided to put Danae and the baby in a chest and he threw into the sea. Zeus and Poseidon intervene and save the mother and the child.
