This question is about the article "America and I".
When reading between paragraphs 1-6, we can see that when leaving Russia, the author has the concept of "American dream" alive. This is because the author lived an life of oppression and few resources in Russia. The author allows the reader to understand that her life in Russia was limited, small, without opportunities and sad, but that would change in America. For the author, America was the land of freedom, opportunity and hope. She felt that America would offer her everything that Russia denied her and that in America she would work, express herself, be happy, do the things she wanted and be fully accomplished, in addition to being allowed to follow her dreams and enjoy the her life as she wanted.
The theme of Ozymandias and Eccelesutes 2:4-11 revolves around the fact that one would be humble and not arrogant about one's achievements and success.
Explanation:
- Perce Bysshe Shelley in his poem Ozymandias makes it very clear that with time, even the most powerful things undergo decadence. The center of his explanation is the haughty statue of king Ozymandias who was mighty king of his time and who was known for his haughtiness. With the turn of events and after several decades post his rule, his haughty statue lies destroyed and destructed which was the symbol of the end of his vehemence and arrogance.
- In Eccelesutes 2:4-11 as well the same theme has been discussed and mentioned. The verse in Ecclesiastes 2:4-11 talks about the idea that people should not be boastful and bragging or overly proud of their worldly or mundane achievements because of these are material achievements which is not there forever
- P.B Shelley in Ozymandias starts by referring to the haughtiness of the king in the lines, " My name is Ozymandias, king of kings, my right there is none to dispute." These lines which are a clear testimony of the arrogance of the king and his self -proclaimed undisputable nature, however, at the end, his authority was shortlived. Eccelesutes 2:4-11 talks about the same theme.
A.
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´.
B.
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.
The correct one is b. innocent child
