Explanation:

"Thought on the Works of Providence" is a poem written by Phillis Wheatley.

<u>The poem talks about the creation and works of God (Providence-word used to refer to God)</u>.

The characteristic of the poem relates to the Neoclassical Poem. The word 'Neoclassicism' means the 'rebirth of Classicism.' The Neoclassical Era appeared during the age of Pope and Dryden between 1680-1750. The characteristics of Neoclassical Poem is that it lacked passion or feelings. The Neoclassical poets were dependent upon the knowledge and learning for inspiration.

lord [1]

Answer:

Imagery and figurative language are used in the short story as a way to understand some thoughts transmitted in sentences, as well as to intensify the reader's perception of these meanings.

Explanation:

Imagery is used in the text to intensify one of the reader's senses and make him better understand what is being described in the text. In this way, imagery has the ability, literally, to provoke a strong sensation in the reader and bring him closer to what he is reading. In the text we can see this in the lines:

<em>"At length, watching the sea-gulls in the air—the only creatures that were sure of liberty—he thought of a plan for himself and his young son Icarus, who was captive with him."</em>

Figurative language aims to express an idea based on the use of words that are not objectively related to that idea, but establishes a subjunctive relationship that gives a lot of meaning to the text, in addition to exercising the reader's reasoning and understanding of the constructions. We can see a figurative language in the lines:

<em>"He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind, down, down, with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away. "</em>

Your grandmother tells you a dollar doesn’t go as far as it used to. She says the “purchasing power” of a dollar is much less th
Varvara68 [4.7K]
Well, you could say that the purchasing power of a dollar is much less because more money is made and causes the worth of the dollar bill to decrease, making things more expensive. This is called inflation. However, when less money is made, the worth of a dollar bill increases, and things become less expensive. this is called deflation

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

No, quaint means attractively unusual or old-fashioned. Bus terminals are typically pretty busy so that's nothing unusual. I would assume a very busy bus terminal wouldn't be old-fashioned either, it would probably be pretty new.
