Answer:

The use of blank verse and enjambment intesifies the contemplative and meditative mood of the poem. Blank verse allows for freedom of form, enhancing the tone of the poem, which shifts from being hopeful to being hopeless.

The use of enjambment helps hold the reader’s interest across lines:

To him who in the love of Nature holds  

Communion with her visible forms, she speaks  

A various language; for his gayer hours

This techniques might have different purposes in this poem. For example, they might create an specific rhythm that makes the reader a bit lost throughout the poem. The reader might stop and start several times. On the other hand, they pull him/her form one line to the other by keeping up the momentum, what makes the reader mover faster in order to understand what is being read.

JUST NEED A THESIS STATEMENT*****
Harlamova29_29 [7]
Okay, so in this case, you have to compare these two characters- Harrison Bergeron and Jay Gatsby. While I have limited knowledge about Jay, I can still lead you through this. Now we need to find ways that these two characters are similar, different, how they would interact with each other, and what would happen if they were in modern times. Now, this may seem like a lot, but we can make this work. Harrison is from the future, while Jay is from the past, which is a good difference. What about their personalities? What can you find that is similar? How do they act in certain situations? If you can provide a simple answer to some of these, I can help guide you through it in comments below.

Read the excerpt from The Odyssey.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

O They believed that the gods often punished people for  acting badly.

Explanation:

Homer's epic narrative poem <em>The Odyssey</em> tells the journey of Odysseus from after the Battle of Troy and his journey back home to Ithaca. The whole book covers the decade long journey, along with numerous encounters with the gods and monsters alike.

The given excerpt from Book IX of the poem is when they were treated with great winds by Zeus after they attacked and killed the people of Cicons. Odysseus admits that from that point onwards, their journey was met with numerous natural obstacles that the god Zeus seemed to have sent to 'attack' them, punish them for their bad deeds. <u>This event shows that the ancient Greeks believed that people were often punished by the gods for any bad acts or deeds they may have done. </u>
