Why does huck do what tom says all the time? what elements contribute to tom's authority?

1 answer:

5 0

Tom is Huck's complete opposite. Where Huck is all about following society rules and obeying authority, Tom marches to the beat of his own drum. In a sense, Huck wants to be like Tom, but has trouble making that transition. Huck looks up to Tom, and sees him like a role model, in a sense.

oksian1 [2.3K]

Romanticism: beauty of nature, supernatural creatures

Realism: focus on social issues, use of everyday characters.

Romanticism celebrates the beauty of nature, whereas realism depicts the struggles of everyday life.

In the poem “Afterwards,” Hardy uses figurative language, including euphemism, to develop meaning and tone. What is the meaning

Ne4ueva [31]

In the poem "Afterwards," Hardy uses many euphemisms to refer to death. He never actually says the words die, dead, or death.

Instead, he says things like: "If I pass during..." Here, the term "pass" is replacing the word "die." He also uses the very wordy "When the Present has latched its postern behind my tremulous stay" (which basically means "When the present is behind me" or "When I am part of the past").

The effect of these euphemisms is to have a quiet, calming effect on the reader. If he constantly used the words "die" and "death" throughout the poem, the dreamlike quality of the poem would be altered.

Instead, using terms like "afterward" and all the other euphemisms allows Hardy to discuss death without actually discussing it. In this way, he wonders what the rest of the world will do "after."
