Neko [114]

Answer:

(a.)The writers whom Barry Lopez mentioned in the first paragraph have in common is the kind of writing they do, recently referred to as "nature or landscape writing". It is a type of writing that takes into account the impact that nature and place have on culture.

(b). By mentioning a range of old and new writers, Barry Lopez tried to make a point that although people believed the type of nature writing is new, there have been several and widely known nature writers in the past in American Literature who have written about impact of nature and place on culture, or nature/landscape writing. He tried to emphasize that the old names would readily come to mind before remembering the new writers on the block.

Which of these lines is NOT representative of the visual motif uniting the play? Mercutio: “Blind is his love and best befits th

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Juliet: “My bounty is as boundless as the sea.”

Explanation:

Visual motif is a visual pattern, which in the context of Romeo & Juliet, means the use of descriptive language focusing on the sense of sight. All the options except for Juliet's dialogue, focuses on this, with Mercutio's "Blind is ....", Romeo's "What light through younder ...", and Friar Laurence's "The grey-eyed morn smiles ...".

Juliet's part, instead is a form of simile, describing how her bounty is like the boundless sea - but it does not look like one.

Tema [17]

This question is incomplete. Here's the complete question, with the underline words.

Match the underlined word in each verse to its meaning in the context of the poem.

the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

a silly or foolish person

meaning, weight, or significance

reward

a small stream

1. "In which the burthen of the mystery, / In which the heavy and the weary weight of all this unintelligible world, / Is lightened:" (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

2. "Faint I, nor mourn nor murmur, other gifts / Have followed; for such

loss, I would believe, / Abundant recompence" (from "Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth)

3. "Hold offl unhand me, grey-beard loon!" (from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

4. "nor yet beside the rill, Nor up the lawn, nor at the wood was he;" (from "Elegy Written in a Country Churchyard" by Thomas Gray)

5. "Where was heard the mingled measure. From the fountain and the caves." (from "Kubla Khan" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)

Answer:

burthen - meaning, weight, or significance

recompence - reward

loon - a silly of foolish person

rill - a small stream

measure - the rhythm of a piece of poetry or music

Explanation:

When we read the word burthen, we notice it looks and sounds similar to "burden". That's because burthen is an archaic spelling of "burden". A burden refers to something heavy, difficult to carry around. Thus, burthen means "weight"

Recompence, nowadays more commonly spelled "recompense", is a synonym for reward.

Add an extra -y to loon, and you'll get loony. That can help you guess what it means, even if not precisely: a silly, foolish person, someone who does not see things in an ordinary manner.

Even though it is not a usual word, rill is the same as a small stream or brook.

Last but not least, measure refers to the rhythm of a poem or a piece of music. Just like the words above, it is not commonly used nowadays. We tend to use the words "beat" or "rhythm" in this case.
