It's A because whereas Laura Lagrange "...was the only daughter of rich and indulgent parents", Janette Alston was "...was the child of parents, rich only in goodness and affection", after Janette's father death everything went wrong with her mother and it is implied that Laura's parents were up to give her the best in material terms.
Probably a little too late, but "Brenton's poem includes the expected comparisons to the beauty of his wife's hair and mouth, but he goes beyond praising mere physical beauty to create a comparison about her thoughts. Brenton's poem reveals a modern outlook with his inclusion of less expected parts: her eyelashes, brows, and waist. Both Shakespeare and Spenser stick to the usual body parts: hair, eyes, cheeks, and breast. All express their love, but Shakespeare portrays his loved one as a "real" woman, not a perfect woman. Brenton's wife seems more real than Spenser's, who is idealized the most with rich comparisons like gold, rubies, and pearls. Brenton's poem also uses more modern and unexpected comparison: "the waist of an otter," "teeth like the tracks of white mice on the white earth," "shoulders of champagne." His images are more vivid because they are less familiar.
Answer:
The poem is written in free verse because it does not follow an exact rhyme scheme. Such pattern can only be found when there is a specific set of meter that gives the rhythm of the lines. For example, in the second stanza above, the words <em>"tears,"</em> <em>"lost" </em>and <em>"words" </em><u>do not rhyme at all.</u> So, there is <u>no pattern here.</u>
Explanation:
A "free verse" is considered a <em>more modern type of writing a poem</em>. It is also regarded as an "open form verse." It does not follow a regular metrical form, therefore, <u>it doesn't follow an organized rhythmic pattern</u>. It also uses a conversational way, which seems like the poem is talking to the reader.
Examples of free verse poems are: <em>"The First Time We Kissed" </em>(Kelly Roper), <em>"After the Sea-Ship"</em> (Walt Whitman) and<em> "Free Verse"</em> (Robert Graves).
Robert Bly’s “Counting Small-Boned Bodies” is a short poem of ten lines, written in free verse and carefully divided into four stanzas. The poem initially invites the reader to participate with the speaker (or persona) in the singular action of recounting bodies. The process Bly refers to is one of counting the bodies of enemy dead following a battle, a military practice used to determine the extent of damage inflicted on the opposing force. The satire of the poem protests the Vietnam War, and more specifically the Pentagon practice of releasing body-count statistics to the press on a daily basis. The last three stanzas show the bodies shrinking and becoming ostensibly less important. Bly uses a succession of unusual metaphoric images to demonstrate the horror of trivializing death in this manner.
Much of the effectiveness of “Counting Small-Boned Bodies” in attacking body counts as a method of measuring “progress” in the Vietnam War lies in the structure Bly develops. The poem spirals downward through ever smaller yet ever more potent images. The single line of the first stanza simply portrays the speaker’s conspiratorial approach, providing a narrative hook—inviting the reader to play along. The second line of the poem continues in the reasonable tone already established, but it proposes a connection between a real event and imaginative world where a human body could be made smaller and smaller for the sake of convenience. How the body size is reduced is never explained; however, the impact of the reduction comes in the brief third line, in which the bodies have become skull-sized. This is followed by a compelling vision of a moonlit plain filled with skulls, each representing a body. The vast numbers of skulls filling the whitened landscape is suggestive of a Romantic painting. Bly accentuates the satiric miracle of the moonlit scene by ending the stanza with an exclamation mark.
Answer:
Daisy at first answered indirectly and then admitted with reluctance which shows her indecisive nature and the dilemma she was put in between Jay and Tom. Also, she had loved both men and didn't seem to want to lose either one.
Jay Gatsby's need to hear the words from Daisy's mouth shows his need of validation and support from the very person he was referring to, who was 'supposedly' with him.
Explanation:
In Chapter 7 of the text "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald shows the scene where Tom, Daisy, Jay, Nick and Jordan were in the room above the ballroom. This scene reveals the conflict between the couple, Jay's wants f reassurance and Daisy's confusing nature.
When Jay asked Daisy to tell her husband Tom that she never really loved him, she indirectly said it, "<em>Why,—how could I love him—possibly?" </em>and then with<em> "perceptible reluctance"</em> said <em>"I never loved him</em>". This reluctance on daisy's part shows the inconclusive nature of her choice, her inability to make up her mind and her indecisiveness in what she wants.
On the other hand, Gatsby kept on stating the fact that she doesn't love Tom and telling her to say it out loud shows his need of assurance and validation from Daisy. Even he seemed to know of Daisy's dilemma in choosing her side, and also it shows his need to be wanted and loved by the very girl who had left him.
