 In "The Carp," by Yun Wang, the use of the carp to represent something deeper is an example of Synecdoche. The carp is used to represent the pain and injustice of her father’s imprisonment. “The Carp is dedicated to Wang’s father, and many of the poems in her little book tell stories from that period.

Throughout the poem, the significance of the carp changes, as well as the relationship of the characters to the carp. In the first section, we learn about the 20 pound carp. This symbolizes luck, good fortune and hope. The relationship of the characters to it is a positive one.

However, as the story continues, the carp turns into a negative symbol when we learn about Confucius's son. He was named "carp," but he died, representing bad luck.

The carp continues to be a negative symbol as the author tells us about how his father was betrayed. We see that those who loved the father but turned against him tasted the carp. Towards the end, the carp's meaning is one of negativity, representing pain and humiliation, and the relationship between the characters and the carp is one of betrayal and sadness.

Juliet is addressing the horses drawing the sun. She uses the words "gallop" and "steeds" to describe them. Also, in the background information provided, it says that Phoebus has a "horse-drawn chariot that travels across the sky each day." The sun is not a steed, nor it is plural. The same is true of Phoebus and Phoebus's chariot. Therefore, these options are all eliminated. The horses are the only possible answer.

What was the main reason for the popularity of The Canterbury Tales in medieval England?
Firdavs [7]

Answer:

The novelty of the theme and its treatment enthralled the audience.

Explanation:

Geoffrey Chaucer's "Canterbury tales" is a collection of tales narrated by the thirty pilgrims on their way to Canterbury. The idea was that each pilgrim will tell four stories, two on the way to Canterbury and two on the way back. This was written in Middle English, which made it easier for the common people to understand it.

In these tales, Chaucer used his characters to draw out the issues relating to political, social or even religious themes, uncommon topics for the people of that age to openly talk about. The description of these themes through the tales were true but were not openly pointed out in public by anyone. Special case is the corruption of the church, the poverty all are real life issues that were ignored. Also, the characterization of people from different backgrounds made it even more popular for the common masses can easily relate to them.
