Answer and Explanation:
Arnold lived in the Victorian era roughly in England and it was said to be the period of the industrial revolution and immense technological advancement as well as social change in which Arnold was writing right on the brink between the old stable England and the new modern faced paced industrial England which was quickly expanding.
'Dover Beach' is about the uncertainty of this period of change in which he talks about the alienation which comes from the new era, where before the industrial revolution people worked together and things happened at a slower pace, whereas with the industrial revolution machines began taking the jobs of people, and things were being mass produced and in the work force there really wasn't much unity.
Arnold and much of England was therefore terrified by this new England and the uncertainty that arose from the great changes that were happening.
Sonny learns about the sun and the stars.
The way Joe Willow explains the change from day to night, is that when "daddy", in this case the sun, "goes to bed" (sets), "all the little children come out". The "little children" refer to the stars, they are coming out in the sky at night time.
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.
