Il Penseroso is a lyric poem by John Milton. In Line 13-14 he glorifies melancholy, he says that is important and can serve as inspiration, which gives the poem a somber tone. He said that it’s like a god that nobody can see its true form. It is dark because melancholy is just a feeling and it’s something that almost everyone avoids but the author praises it like a supreme being.

In the poem “Il Penseroso,” Milton examines the path to becoming a thoughtful and contemplative person and explores the benefits of such a life. The speaker of the poem examines philosophy, ideology, allegory, hymns, and Greek mythology in his quest for wisdom. Milton uses words such as Melancholy, Silence, mute, night, and lonely to create a quiet, somber tone. (PLATO)

In the novel "<em>The Old Man and the Sea" </em>by<em> Ernest Hemingway</em>, there are many  images.

  • Line 9: Image of number 40The repetitive use of the number forty throughout the novel. After 40 days ( which is exactly the duration it took Christ to live again) Manolin's parents decided that <em>"the old man was now and definitely salao, which is the worst form of unlucky"</em> The complete paragraph emphasizes Santiago's being unlucky. For example, "<em>It made the boy sad to see the old man come in each day with his skiff empty."</em>
  • Line 10: image of old age and eyesAt first, the author shows his main character as defeated and old. He refers to his scars as <em>"old as erosions in a fishless desert". </em>But, there are also images of Santiago's eyes, that in contrast to his old body are shown as " <em>...they were the same color as the sea and were cheerful and undefeated".</em>
  • Line 30: the sea tha main character of the book, Santiago, represents the sea as a woman, "always thought of her as feminine and as something that gave or withheld great favors, and if she did wild or wicked things it was because she could not help them"<em>. </em> He feels that he complements himself with the sea ( man and woman intertiwined)
  • Line 37: a turtleSantiago compares himself to a turtle ( he has worked at a turtle ship before) He says "<em>most people are heartless about turtles because a turtle's heart will beat for hours after he has been cut up and butchered... I have such a heart too and my hands and feet are like theirs"</em>

A robbery was committed at the local art gallery in Newtown at 1 o'clock this morning. It is believed that three men were involved. It was reported that two paintings were stolen. The curator and some witnesses were interviewed by the police since this morning. No one was caught yet. The paintings were donated to the gallery by Mr. Harris when the gallery opened two years ago. It is hoped that the robbers are caught soon.

Hope this helps!! :)

Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Explanation:

So my topic will be on Equestrians.

My site: The odyssey online / equestrians

1.) This site uses neat and organized paragraphs for each topic they explain.

2.) It does not have bulleted lists

3.) Yes there are bolded headings

4.) The text does have highlighted words

5.) There are pictures

Things that the site may need:

A more organized site because it is not just one topic

It could have some bulleted lists for it

There is only one bolded heading so maybe another

Maybe some more pictures so the reader know what the writer is talking about
