schepotkina [342]

Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?

A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.

B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.

C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

Explanation:

In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."

Which line in this excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" emphasizes consonance?
grandymaker [24]

Line in this excerpt from Amy Lowell's "Lilacs" that emphasizes consonance is

Because my leaves are of it

Explanation:

The poem "Lilacs' employs consonance liberally throughout the poem and almost every line has an example due to the refrain of the phrases that is present in the poem, first through 'new England' and then through the phrase of 'are in it'

Consonance is the use of consonant sounds that are similar in close proximity to each other. This is evident in the given line which has almost all the same sounds which is the sound of 'cause' and 'leav' that repeat twice in the line of 7 syllables.
