Answer:

As the tired ploughman, spent with stubborn toil,

Whose oxen long have torn the furrow'd soil,

Sees with delight the sun's declining ray,

When home with feeble knees he bends his way

To late repast (the day's hard labour done);

Explanation:

An epic simile is a type of metaphor that uses comparisons to describe an event, someone, a place, etc. by using the words "like", "as" or "as in", and that is developed over several lines of verse, thus it is long, and which it's more commonly found in epic poems.

Therefore, the chosen lines are an example of an epic simile, as the narrator compares the character to "the tired ploughman" and, in the folowing lines, the narrator provides further characteristics of him.

Answer:

#2 Question on counterpoints

Explanation:

Sir Walter Raleigh writes "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd" as a response to Christopher Marlowe’s poem. Each stanza of Raleigh’s poem is a rejection or disqualification of the Shepard's promises in “The Passionate Shepard to His Love”, these are his counterpoints. He stresses two ideas, the first is that all things fade in time, including love, and the second is that there are consequences for every action. In his story, the Nymph is portrayed as skeptical and cold-hearted. She believes love is too good to be true, meanwhile, the Shepard has a warmer and loving side. One counterpoint Raleigh makes is that nature is not as beautiful as it is portrayed in other poems. In Marlow’s poem nature is described in awe and wonder, while in Raleigh's it is described in a realistic and unfanciful sense. Another counterpoint he makes has to do with love. He claims that love “fades as quickly as the flowers die”. The main point of his poem is to communicate the realistic and prudent side of life, he believes that love does not last and similarly, the beauty of nature is as temporary as love. eventually fades and dies.

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: To lengthen the amount of time you spend on a paper.

The goal of an outline is to help you create the framework of your paper, not to make your life more difficult. An outline helps you to organize your thoughts, figure out the main and most relevant points of your argument, and all-around set you up for success. The goal of an outline is not to increase the amount of time you spend on a paper, although it can sometimes be a result. All in all, an outline is to set you up for success.
