Which two lines does Bob Kaufman use to show alienation and isolation in modern society? Unanimity Has Been Achieved, Not a Dot

Less for Its Accidentalness by Bob Kaufman (excerpt) Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties. Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness. Raga of sadness, of madness, of green screamed dreams, mile-deep eyes. The greatest men have gone unknown: Buddha was the twenty- fourth.

  • Diggers, corkscrewing cleanly in, exhilerausted, into the mind mine, impaled on edgeless shafts of subtle reminiscence, green- walking across the belts and ties.

In this sentence, the author uses words such as the "mind mine" and "reminiscence," which imply that the subject of his poem spends a lot of time alone with his thoughts. This lack of company or interaction with others highlight issues of isolation and alienation.

  • Slanted dark-walked time, wet with ages of dryness, Raga of insignificance & blessed hopelessness.

"Dark-walked time," "ages of dryness," "insignificance" and "hopelessness" allude to the lack of <em>presence</em> of the subject. It also points to feeling small and unimportant. Loneliness often has these effects (feeling insignificant, feeling like there is no purpose to existence, not being present in the moment). Therefore, the sentence reiterates the suffering of alienation and isolation.

Which slogan is most effective for promoting the Seattle Street Fair?
torisob [31]
<span>D is the correct answer. Slogan D is most effective because not only does it give important information (the date of the fair), which none of the other slogans give, it uses an imperative verb “come” which is important in influencing people to take action.</span>

chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

Ethos

Explanation:

The speaker includes himself and members of the public for those primarily responsible for being concerned with the price of tuition charged to students. This represents the use of ethos, as a rhetorical resource that allows the speaker to present thoughts, positions and attitudes that place him on the same level as the audience, because they equate his character and identification with that of a collectivity.
