How does Dove's use of imagery in this passage

English
1 answer:
nordsb [41]2 years ago

Answer:

It provides a hopeful image that suggests that  Kahlo was not restrained by her condition.

Explanation:

From the attached image, we can understand that Kahlo was injured and broke her spine in several places and despite several surgeries, she would live with pain for the rest of her life and would require a corset to hold her spine in place.

The excerpt from the poem says,

<em>"who painted herself a present</em>

<em>wildflowers entwining the plastic corset</em>

<em>her spine resides in, that flaming pillar"</em>

We can see that the imagery depicts a hopeful image that Kahlo is not restrained or held back by her condition because she "painted herself a present" and the line about wildflowers shows that while the situation is an unplanned one, she still has hope as she describes her spine as a "flaming pillar".

A wildflower is a flower that grows in the wild that was not planted by anyone and it symbolizes the forced condition of wearing the corset

Record one piece of evidence that best describes Major Kovaloff.
ohaa [14]
Major Kovaloff can best be described as proud. He is very proud of his station and his rank, and wants everyone to respect him for it. In the story, it says "He did not so much mind people making personal remarks about him, but it was a different matter when aspersions were cast on his rank or social standing." This shows that he cares very much about his rank and dislikes when people aren't as respectful as he thinks they should be.

What is the significance of facial hair to the main characters? Before leaving for the Trojan War, Odysseus had told Penelope to
Viktor [21]
Odysseus told Penelope that because when Telemachus was able to grow facial hair it meant that he was becoming a man and that many years had passed, meaning he probably was dead. As for the disguise part, I suppose it was because beards cover a large portion of the face and make you look tougher, more masculine, and gruff.<span />

Which of the following settings best create fear or anxiety? Falling snow Sunrise Open fields Decaying trees
Lerok [7]
A sunrise most definitely cannot be associated with either of those things, the sun is most often symbolic of something good or happy. Falling snow also does not create a sense of fear or anxiety, when thinking of snow I think of peace and quiet, serenity. Some might even feel happy or joywhen thinking about snow because it is most often associated with Christmas. I also think that an open field does not stir feelings of fear, that is unless you give details or descriptions to make it scary. I would say a setting with decaying trees best creates fear and anxiety. The word decay literally means " the state or process of rotting or decomposition". It is associated with death, and death is most often viewed as frightening and mysterious. Hope this helps .
