An author might choose precise words over
vague words because the author could want the
reader to visualize the writing. The reader could
be confused and visualize something else
entirely if the author uses vague words. A good
example is if the writer is writing instructions, hel
she would need to be very specific. Another
example is if the writer is composing a poem, it
would be best if he/she uses precise words of
what they're describing. Ex., Vague: The flower
is pretty. Precise: The pink tulip bloomed
beautifully.

Answer:

The meaning of "vague" is uncertain or not precise words. The author might do so because he or she wants the reader to visualize some certain image. With clearer words, the reader can better visualize. With imprecise words, the reader could visual something completely different. Or build up suspense and tone.

Vague: The cemetery was spooky and looks old.

Precise Fog surrounded the whole cemetery, and spiderwebs stuck on the gravestones. Chills shivered up my back.

With more precise words, the reader can get a better feeling of the setting or image the author is trying to get across.

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

The correct answer is - comforts her without asking for things.

Explanation:

This question refers to Emily Dickinson's poem "Hope." In the poem, the poet compares the feeling of hope to a bird. She says:

<em>Hope is the thing with feathers </em>(referring to birds).

She says that hope never dies; it always lives in us, giving us the motivation to keep going, and to fight. She also says that even though hope gives us so much, it never asks for anything in return:

<em>I’ve heard it in the chillest land - </em>

<em>And on the strangest Sea - </em>

<em>Yet - never - in Extremity, </em>

<em>It asked a crumb - of me.</em>

Every line of a poem must begin with a capital letter true or false
weqwewe [10]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Traditionally, the first letter of each line of a poem is capitalized, even if it isn’t the beginning of a sentence. Now the authors are making their poems more alive so you don't have to use capital letters at the beginning of each line of a poem

Hope this helps :)
