Read Identity, by Julio Noboa
How does the speaker’s description of flowers develop the meaning of the poem?
The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as more free than the life of a weed.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as an appreciation to humans.
The speaker views the existence of flowers as an inconvenience to humans.
Answer: The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.
Explanation:
As the title indicates, identity is the main theme of this poem, as well as the freedom of maintaining one´s individuality.
Polanco presents the life of flowers as limited in the sense that they are bound to a pot that restrains them, and they grow surrounded by other identical flowers. This could be a metaphor about those who obey the commands of a constraining society.
Unlike flowers, a weed, although ugly and foul-smelling, grows free, such as a person who preserves individual freedoms.
Answer:
A: Positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.
Explanation:
Throughout the passage, Giblin speaks of Young's accomplishments with high praise (never in a negative way, like answers C & D suggest). B is also incorrect because Giblin does not <em>only</em> focus on Young's ability to learn new languages, he speaks of other things as well.
Therefore, option A is correct - Giblin shows a positive attitude toward Young's passion for learning.
Wuthering Heights, a manor in the Yorkshire moors, is associated with all that is primeval, natural, passionate, and wild. The residents of this manor, the Earnshaws and Heathcliff, exhibit a similar ruggedness and wildness in their behavior. This manor, as Lockwood observes, looks more like the home of a northern farmer than that of a gentleman.
In contrast, Thrushcross Grange symbolizes the sophisticated, civilized world. The manor is opulent, manicured, and well maintained. Similarly, the Lintons represent the refined English gentry, who are conscious of their status and display proper social etiquette and behavior. We get a view of the residents of Thrushcross Grange from what Heathcliff tells Nelly in chapter 6:
The light came from thence; they had not put up the shutters, and the curtains were only half closed. Both of us were able to look in by standing on the basement, and clinging to the ledge, and we saw—ah! it was beautiful—a splendid place carpeted with crimson, and crimson-covered chairs and tables, and a pure white ceiling bordered by gold, a shower of glass-drops hanging in silver chains from the centre, and shimmering with little soft tapers. Old Mr. and Mrs. Linton were not there; Edgar and his sisters had it entirely to themselves.
Nelly’s comment in chapter 6 also conveys the civilized traits of the Lintons:
‘They are good children, no doubt, and don’t deserve the treatment you receive, for your bad conduct.’
