Read the excerpt from "Song of Myself." Long enough have you dream’d contemptible dreams, Now I wash the gum from your eyes, You

must habit yourself to the dazzle of the light and of every moment of your life. Long have you timidly waded holding a plank by the shore, Now I will you to be a bold swimmer, To jump off in the midst of the sea, rise again, nod to me, shout, and laughingly dash with your hair. What theme is suggested by this excerpt?

Answer:

Self realisation

Explanation:

As the title indicates, the words in the excerpt are directed to the person him/herself. The metaphor of holding a plank while wading through shallow water is obviously referring to a lack of maturity, boldness and selfconfidence to confront the real world, here symbolised as the sea in which you have to learn to swim to be able to survive.

Slav-nsk [51]
Rosaline exemplifies false love because she is only briefly mentioned and never shown, and while Romeo made claims that he loved her, she's forgotten almost immediately after Juliet makes an appearance. Juliet is an example of true love, because Romeo devoted his heart and ultimately his life to her. He even planned to denounce his last name if it meant they could be together

uranmaximum [27]
The answer would be B based off of how her grammar is in this segment. Because her grammar is conducted poorly, it probably was not her first language.
Hopefully this helps. ;)

12. Which detail helps illustrate the author's point in "Against Nature," (pages 221–229), that nature provides no link to spiri
mote1985 [20]

<u>Answer</u>:

B: “And the lovely blue isn't even blue, is it? isn't even there, is it?"

This detail helps illustrate the author's point in "Against Nature".

<u>Explanation</u>:

The story “Joyce Carol Oates” states that nature doesn’t give any instructions for humans. Joyce is not against nature in her story, but she questions about her own existence and she thinks she doesn’t exist.

Oates suffered from cardiac attack and while she is lying down on her back, she goes through a thought process. Her mind roams around and Oates uses imagery to depict what is going on around her. She searches the area around her, talks about the nature.

This line shows that Oates is trying to say that nature has connection with no spiritual truth as she is even questioning the color of the blue sky that whether that is also true or not.
