How does “The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock” break away from traditional poetic conventions? Select all that apply.

1 answer:

4 0

The incorporation of many allusions to other texts breaks with poetic conventions inasmuch as poetry is traditionally based in telling the story of a character or a group of characters in a straightfowards fashion that does not refer to things outside the story except in a referential sense. This would be the case in most epic poetry, like the ´Iliad´ or ´Paradise Lost´.

The poem distorts the traditional meaning of poetry in the sense that traditional poetry is based in the epic form, where clearly delineated characters are set out in some traditional heroic or tragic scenario. Prufrock´s existence is opposed to any real heroic or classic tragic plot.

Dominik [7]

Read the excerpt from Gilgamesh: A New English Version.

[Gilgamesh and Enkidu] charged at Humbaba like two wild bulls.

The monster let out a deafening cry,

his roar boomed forth like a blast of thunder,

he stamped and the ground burst open, his steps

split the mountains of Lebanon,

the clouds turned black, a sulfurous fog

descended on them and made their eyes ache.

Then Shamash threw strong winds at Humbaba,

the south wind, the north wind, the east and the west,

storm wind, gale wind, hurricane, tornado,

to pin him down and paralyze his steps.

He could not move forward, could not retreat.

Gilgamesh saw it, he leaped upon him,

he held a knife to Humbaba's throat.

What does the event with mr.radley and his shotgun show us about racism in maycomb

sesenic [268]

Answer:

The event with Mr. Radley and his gunshot reveals that people in Maycomb were prejudiced and racist.

Explanation:

'To Kill A Mickingbird' is a novel written by Harper Lee. The book centered around the theme of racism.

In Chapter 6, when Dill, Jem and Scoutt tries to peek into Mr. Radley's house, they hear a gunshot in the house. Mr. Radley fired the gun seeing the shadow of a man, perceiving it to be a <em>black man </em>who might have broke into his house to steal collard greens from his garden.

The theme of racism is prevalent in this event as Mr. Radley shots the gun without even thinking twice or looking whose the shadow was. Perceiving that the shadow is of a <em>black man </em>as an intruder brings forth the theme of racism in the novel and also reveals that people in Maycomb were overtly racist.

PRESS RELEASE

aivan3 [116]

Answer:

B. numbers replacing the bullets in the steps of the water-recycling process

C. numbers on the illustration indicating the corresponding steps in the text

Explanation:

Since the question asks what revisions should be done to make the document more informative, we should focus on what can be done to make the document more understandable to the readers.

Since the main point of the text, as shown by the heading is about a construction of a water reclamation plant, (A) is incorrect since the heading already provides this information clearly. (E) is outside of the context of the press release, while (D) is already illustrated through the attached image.

(B) is a good modification to do since processes should be numbered to make it clearer for the reader, and (C) would provide a better use of the image, since readers can immediately visualize how the processes described in the text would occur.
