Hedrick in a marvellous match played a hundred times over the fairways of his imagination, a match each detail of which he changed about untiringly—sometimes he won with almost laughable ease, sometimes he came up magnificently from behind. Again, stepping from a Pierce-Arrow automobile, like Mr. Mortimer Jones, he strolled frigidly into the lounge of the Sherry Island Golf Club—or perhaps, surrounded by an admiring crowd, he gave an exhibition of fancy diving from the spring-board of the club raft. . . . Among those who watched him in open-mouthed wonder was Mr. Mortimer Jones.
A. Dexter dreams of upstaging Mortimer Jones at golf and gaining his admiration.

C. Dexter dreams of being admitted into high society and gaining its admiration.
D. Dexter dreams of befriending Mortimer Jones so he can convince him to give him a job.

Read the following passage from Act I, scene ii of The Tempest, in which Prospero explains to Miranda how Antonio usurped him.
Iteru [2.4K]

"The Tempest" is considered a revenge tragedy. The usurpation of Prospero's dukedom from Antonio, his own beloved brother, is an indication of his distemper. Words that can create a tone of reproach and melancholy for the past are: "evil nature", falsehood", "perfidious" which are attributed to the dishonest brother. Miranda appears to live in a dream place where corruption and malevolence do not exist. However, Prospero's negative attitue towards Antonio expresses that there is evil in human nature and it can even come from close acquaintances and family.

"Batter My Heart" How does the poet use strong verbs to create rhythm and develop the meaning of the poem? Cite specific example
kipiarov [429]
I'm not gonna write out 100 words, but I did find
-Alliteration in one-syllable words such as "break, blow, burn" creates a kind of beat and rhythm, and emphasises the meaning of those words
-There's definitely a lot of "me" in the sonnet, and the line "your viceroy in me, me should defend" uses repetition in "me" to emphasise it of course but also provides a good flow into the next line
