 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.

Check each phrase that characterizes Romanticism; the unchecked phrases characterize neoclassicism.
Delicious77 [7]
Romanticism is an international artistic and philosophical movement that redefined the fundamental ways in which people thought about themselves and about their world, whereas neoclassicism draw inspiration from the "classical" art and culture of Greek and Rome. I would say that, out of your list, Romanticism is: enjoys the mysterious and strange, prefers untamed nature to rule conscious society, expresses a tone of melancholy because time does not permit full realization of ideals. I think the rest are neoclassicism.
