What primary element do “Young Goodman Brown” and “A Pair of Silk Stockings” share?

2 answers:

8 0

I would argue that both short stories present characters (Goodman Brown and Mrs. Sommers, respectively) that are weary of their current lives and, ideally, would like to be able to escape. Goodman Brown is losing his faith in his wife, his community and his religion, and Mrs. Sommers would prefer to focus on her and on her needs rather than on her children.

The plot is less important than the character's psychology.

What is the theme of “Pastoral” by Jennifer Chang?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

I believe the theme of "Pastoral" is "adaptation."

Explanation:

"Pastoral" is a poem written by Jennifer Chang, an American scholar and poet. The poem is part of her collection called "The History of Anonymity." It is a type of lyrical poem whereby the writer expresses her emotions through nature, such as plants, fruits, grass, weeds, etc.

The theme of Pastoral is "adaptation." It talks about how nature adapts to what is happening in the surrounding environment. For example, it mentioned "Something in the field has mastered distance by living too close to fences." This shows how such part of nature mastered its situation by living close to the fences.

The poem also shows how some cannot master such situation as it's mentioned in the end, "Something in the field cannot." This also shows "survival of the fittest." One example of this is grass fighting with the weeds. This happens when both fight for the nutrients in the soil. This is part of nature which they adapt to wherein only the strong one survives.

lidiya [134]

The correct answers are: 1)B The other answers refer to later stages of Brown's life, when he is already working on developing videogames/hardware; B is the only answer explicitly talking about his youth. 2)B A is wrong as Nolan wasn't morbidly obsessed over computers only, he had other hobbies, too, he graduated from university in electrical engineering, and he was able to maintain a fruitful career and his family; C and D are wrong as they are not the focus or essence of the message conveyed by the biography.
