In the poem, the poet warns Helen Grey of the dangers of being self-centered and vain. Author Christina Georgina Rossetti writes, "But so you miss that modest charm...Take heed, you may yet trip and fall, and no man care to stretch his arm." The poet suggests behaving in a humble manner is a better way to behave by saying, "Come down [from your cold height], to fill it now with grace".

Helen Gray is self-centered and vain. She is shallow and cold. The poet suggests that behaving in a humble manner is a better way than behaving like Helen Gray.

P.S. - Next time, post the poem along with your question. It was a real inconvenience having to look it up.

Hyperbole I think. Because it says he was quaking from head to foot, so sounds like he’s scared. So the hyperbole that means his eyes are wide with fear seems to make sense.

Write a paragraph comparing the theme of Ozymandias with Ecclesiastes 2:4-11:

marin [14]

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.

How does the poem Hatred use personification in lines 21-28 to contrast hatred with compassion, brotherhood, and doubt?

Sophie [7]

Aversion is a strong disgust and must be avoided in order to live in harmony with others. Like jealousy, hatred fascinates us, fascinates and easily captures our imagination. The Bible to condemn hatred, "Dinner at the gardenen where love is present is superior to cattle and hatred." Hatred like anger is a poisonous tree not done in our orchard.
Wislawa Szymborska adopts ridicule and talks about its growth, how to operate, and the hatred caused by it. Poetry has ease of conversation, under which serious purpose is hidden.

In the opening stanza, hatred has been anthropomorphic, and it has been given the positive determination for corporate determination and achievement of goals. The hatred that is as old as human himself is visualized as a hunter (predator) maintaining perfect condition. I chase us with ruthless efficiency and have overcome all obstacles. The word "pounces" is meaningful, as it suggests that animals jump at quarry without meaning.
