SSSSS [86.1K]

Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.

PART B: Which lines from the poem( The Lighthouse Lamp) provide the clearest evidence for the summary in Part A? Select TWO answ

liraira [26]

Hello. You forgot to show that Part A shows that the summary of the poem is:

"A mother and her family find courage to climb the icy steps to a lighthouse tower and turn on the lantern."

Answer:

E. "She fed the lamp, and she trimmed it well, / And its clear light glowed afar" ( Lines 41-42)

A. And the light-house lamp, a golden star, / Flamed over the waves’ white yeast." ( Lines 7-8)

Explanation:

"The lighthouse lamp" is a poem written by Margaret E. Sangster and tells the story that a mother and daughter were alone inside a lighthouse, very cold, when the light of the lighthouse went out. It was very dangerous to go up the stairs to turn on the light and they were both very afraid to do so, but they knew it was necessary to help the sailors and avoid accidents. As a result, even frozen and frightened, they went up and turned on the light, leaving them proud and at peace.

Which evidence from the text supports the prediction that Helmer learn the contents of the letter select three options

sashaice [31]

This question concerns Act 2 of the play "A Doll's House". I've found the options online. They are the following:

What evidence from the text supports the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter? Select three options.

Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.

Nora looks at her watch and tells herself she has 31 hours to live.

Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.

Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.

Nora expresses her intention of having a champagne banquet.

Answer:

The three correct options are:

A. Helmer knows that there is a piece of mail from Krogstad in the box.

C. Helmer thinks that Nora is nervous and dismisses her pleas about the mail.

D. Mrs. Linde fails to find Krogstad so he can take back the piece of mail.

Explanation:

“A Doll’s House” is a play by Henrik Ibsen that was quite scandalous for addressing and criticizing the way women were treated and seen not only by society, but also by their own families. Nora, the main character in the play, is being blackmailed. She once took a loan from the very bank where her husband, Torvald Helmer, works without his knowledge. Since women were not allowed to do such thing, she forged her father’s signature. Now, her husband wants to fire Krogstad, an employee of the bank. But Krogstad is threatening Nora, demanding that she get her husband to take him back lest he reveals the truth about her loan.

In Act 2, Nora is desperate because she knows there is a letter from Krogstad to her husband in the letter box, and so does Helmer. She pleads with him to not read any mail until after a party the next day, but her husband thinks she is acting this way out of nervousness, and dismisses her pleas. To make matters worse, Nora's friend, Mrs. Linde, fails to contact Krogstad and ask him to retrieve the letter. All of that is evidence that supports the prediction that Helmer will learn the contents of the letter.
