What is the main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal? 31st. Set forward to Stowey at half-past five. A violent

storm in the wood; sheltered under the hollies. When we left home the moon immensely large, the sky scattered over with clouds. These soon closed in, contracting the dimensions of the moon without concealing her. The sound of the pattering shower, and the gusts of wind, very grand. Left the wood when nothing remained of the storm but the driving wind, and a few scattering drops of rain. Presently all clear, Venus first showing herself between the struggling clouds; afterwards Jupiter appeared. The hawthorn hedges, black and pointed, glittering with millions of diamond drops; the hollies shining with broader patches of light. The road to the village of Holford glittered like another stream. On our return, the wind high—a violent storm of hail and rain at the Castle of Comfort. All the Heavens seemed in one perpetual motion when the rain ceased; the moon appearing, now half veiled, and now retired behind heavy clouds, the stars still moving, the roads very dirty A. exploring the forest around the road leading to Holford B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford C. the writer's admiration for the moon D. the writer's dislike of stormy weather

Answer:

The main idea in this entry from Dorothy Wordsworth's journal is:

B. the weather during the writer's journey to Holford.

Explanation:

After reading this passage, we can see how the focus is on the weather. Even if it is described in almost poetic way, and even if the moon is mentioned a couple of times, the author's point is to give an account of what the weather was like during the journey to Holford. We are told about the clouds, gusts of wind, the sound of the storm, what things looked like before and after it hit... Notice, however, that the writer does not express any dislike for the stormy weather. It is just a simple account of it, but written in a beautiful manner.

Answer:

Rising action and reflection

The best way to describe the structure of the text so far is as "rising action" and "reflection." The first part of the passage constitutes the rising action, as the author introduces the setting and the basic information that is needed for the story, such as the fact that even though the setting is not very pleasant, someone wants to build a house in that location. The second section refers to the reflection, as the speaker thinks about what he used to do in the past, and what the setting looked like back then.

In at least one hundred words describe how bly uses sarcasm in his poetry to evince an emotion reaction from his readers. How is
svetlana [45]

I do not know the poems by Robert Bly that you have read in class, but I would argue that in poems such as "A Dream on the Night of First Snow," for instance, the author uses a very graphic, visual, and arguably sarcastic language when talking about his dream - he first mentions a girl whom he met in an attic and who "talked of operas, intensely," and he abruptly changes topics and goes on to refer to his happily encounter with a salamander (which seems to have amused him more than the girl) and to describe, meticulously and almost humorously, the way the little creature "strode over a log" and left. One can clearly picture the salamander striding "confidently like a chess master" and rising up "like a tractor," and almost feel for it, while one can also smile slightly thinking of the girl who talked intensely about operas and was left alone by the speaker in the attic while she continued to do so.

Another example of Bly's use of imagery and sarcasm with the goal of evincing an emotional reaction can be identified in "The Bear and the Man," which brings a bear closer to a man, and vice versa, by referring to a loss that both of them have experienced: the death of their respective sons. Ironically, the bear's son was killed by a trap, set (it can be inferred) by a man, and the man's son, who was inebriated and alone in the woods, was killed by a bear. The bear knows "his kin," abandoned down jackets among them, and so does the man, although the speaker seems to imply that the former knows more than the latter. They face each other and may fight at any moment, but the speaker, instead, reminds the reader that they share a grandmother (a reference to the Ursa Major or Great Bear) that watches them closely from the sky, in an attempt, perhaps, to reconcile them.
