What aspect of this excerpt most clearly marks it as a work of modernism

Study the editorial cartoon by Signe Wilkinson. A man sits, sweating on a city sidewalk. A passerby also looks hot and sweaty, a

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

The question is incomplete. The editorial cartoon image is lacking. Here is the image the question's referring to.

The details that best support the purpose of this editorial cartoon are:

the "will work for air conditioning" sign
the rat sweating on the sidewalk
the comfortable man in the air-conditioned car

Explanation:

There are a number of details to consider in the editorial cartoon to understand its message. It includes the man holding the sign, the rat, and the man riding in an air-conditioned car.

But, if you look closely, Signe Wilkinson signed this on 7-6-2010 for the Philadelphia Daily News. It is better to know this date and place. But what is its importance? During this time, the Philadelphia set a new record regarding heatwave. The temperature reached 103 degrees breaking the old record of 98 degrees in 1994.

Climate change and global warming clearly affect people in the middle class or the working class who cannot afford to buy an air-conditioned car. And they are willing to work on breathing cold air. It also displays that not only humans are affected by a heatwave, but also animals, thus, the sweating rat.

During this time, in 2010, people have died because of the heatwave. And the air conditioning business was booming because of in-demand repairs.

Which two lines in this excerpt from the poem "Consumption" by William Cullen Bryant reflect the theme of the poem? (The word co

lozanna [386]

“Consumption” by William Cullen Bryant describes the imminent death of a tuberculosis patient and her way to heaven.

The poem starts with the speaker describing the imminent death of the person to whom this poem is spoken. She is going “for the grave,” really shortly and there is nothing she can do about it. He knows that her death is close because of the light in her eyes. It is so bright he knows there’s no way it can continue for long. No one can maintain that level of brightness.

He continues on to tell her, hoping to make her see the hopelessness of her situation, and turn her to God, that there is no medicine either from the fields or minerals that can save her. She will be better off if she commits herself to God’s hands at this point.

The speaker’s tone softens when he turns to describing how she will leave for heaven. It will not be harsh, painful or in any way disturbing. God and “Death” will take her as a bud is broken from a branch by the wind.

In the final lines he asks her to “Gently” close her eyes and remember that God will see him, and all those who care about her, come together in heaven.

This is the poem:

Ay, thou art for the grave; thy glances shine

Too brightly to shine long; another Spring

Shall deck her for men’s eyes—but not for thine—

Sealed in a sleep which knows no wakening.

The fields for thee have no medicinal leaf,

And the vexed ore no mineral of power;

And they who love thee wait in anxious grief

Till the slow plague shall bring the final hour.

Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come

Gently, to one of gentle mould like thee,

As light winds wandering through groves of bloom

Detach the delicate blossom from the tree.

Close thy sweet eyes, calmly, and without pain;

And we will trust in God to see thee yet again.

The theme of the Poem is the inevitability of being consumed by Death, and the lines that best reflect that theme are:

Glide softly to thy rest then; Death should come 

Gently, to one of gentle mould like thee,
