Answer: The right answer is the D) The noose.

Explanation: Although the railroad tracks (since the protagonists of this story were standing in a railroad bridge twenty feet above the ground), the cannon (which was pointing towards the bridge) and the wooden planks (where the prisoner and his executioners were standing) could be also arguably interpreted as motifs that represent being trapped, since they were meant to prevent Peyton Farquhar from escaping alive, the noose is certainly the more obvious, since, tightened around his neck and attached to a timber above his head, it limited his movements and inevitably subjected him to his captors' will.

Read this excerpt from "Crossing the Bar" by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. Which two lines are examples of a dependent clause?
barxatty [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is B)

Explanation:

A) First, a clause is an incomplete sentence or a group of words that can't stand alone or one that does not have meaning standing by itself.

B) Furthermore, it must have a verb and a subject.

A verb, if you recall is an action word while a subject is "<em>the person or thing being referred to</em>".

Looking at the clauses in option B we can see that they both meet the above conditions.  

Let's see clause one - "<em>And may there be no </em><u><em>moaning</em></u><em> of t</em><u><em>he bar</em></u><em>, "</em>

It is clear that the verb here is "moaning" while the subject is "the Bar".

It's clear to see that these group of words meet the conditions given in A and B above because left by themselves, they make no meaning.

Let's take a look at the second clause:

"<em>When I put out to sea</em>,"

"I" here is the subject. It is a pronoun. A pronoun is simply a word that can be used instead of the noun. That is a noun can easily but inserted in the place of "I". Hence, we have "I" as the subject.

"<em>Put Out</em>"  here is a verb which means to relocate.

So "When I put out to sea"  also meets the conditions in A and B above.

Cheers!

Ramayana: the culture behind the poem

The<em> Ramayana</em> is an ancient Indian epic poem written in sanskrit by the hindu <em>Valmiki</em>. This was considered to be highly important within the Indian community, especially among the representation of the god Vishnu on Rama's character in the story. The author narrates the struggle of the prince Rama -considered the 7th avatar of god Vishnu- which tries to rescue his wife, the goddess Sita from the demon king Ravana. This essay aims to analyze and share the context behind the story of the<em> Ramayana </em>to understand better the culture behind it.

The <em>Ramayana</em> belongs to the genre of itihāsa, which is defined as a narrative of past events that includes teachings on the goals of human life. So, the context of the poem develops in the exploration of the ideal relationships among humans and the constant battle between good and evil. In addition, this is an important literary works on the ancient India and it have had a huge impact of culture and art because of the meaning the story may have regarding the Hinduism which is considered to be one of the most prominent religious in the world.

The symbolic significance of Ramayaana has been interpreted in different ways, but it mainly represents the vulnerabilities to which human beings are vulnerable  due to their weaknesses and impurities, as well as the conflict between good and evil forces that might arise from them, so it may have a theological symbolism due to the "religious ideals" which also teaches valuable lessons related to family morals and human life.

However, there is a huge difference between the interpretation of the Ramayana text and the illustration. According to the text, this epic poem follows theological and social symbolisms due to the teachings of morals and human life but with religious ideals. On the other hand, the illustration was followed with the Indian method, it is to capture several episodes of the story in one so that the characters appear more than once in the same painting.

In conclusion, the Ramayana is an epic poem considered as sacred among the Indian culture and if you read it, you will learn some principles and ideals of the Hinduism and people who are behind it.
