Re-read lines 9-14 of the poem. What is the conclusion of the sonnet and how does this contribute to the poem’s overall meaning?

Cite evidence in your answer.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?


Thou art more lovely and more temperate.


Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,


And summer's lease hath all too short a date.


Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,


And often is his gold complexion dimmed;


And every fair from fair sometime declines,


By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimmed;


But thy eternal summer shall not fade,


Nor lose possession of that fair thou ow'st,


Nor shall death brag thou wand'rest in his shade,


When in eternal lines to Time thou grow'st.


So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see,


So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.

In the first eight lines or the first two quatrains of the Sonnet Eighteen Shakespeare compares the beauty of his beloved to the summer and all the natural forces that surround this season like “Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May” and “Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines”, however, in the last quatrain he declares the immortality of the beauty of his beloved in the lines he write, in this poem he/she will be immortal and not ever the death will own it “Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade” and in the couplet declares the longevity of that eternity “   So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,” and “So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.”

Which line in this excerpt from act IV of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet best reveals the dramatic irony of the scene?
laiz [17]

Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy written by William Shakespeare early in his career about two young star-crossed lovers whose deaths ultimately reconcile their battling families. It was among Shakespeare's most popular plays during his lifetime and along with Hamlet, is one of his most frequently performed plays. Today, the title characters are regarded as archetypal young lovers. They are considered the perfect model for the young love.

Romeo and Juliet belongs to a tradition of tragic romances stretching back to antiquity. Shakespeare's use of his poetic dramatic structure has been praised as an early sign of his dramatic skill. The play assigns different poetic forms to different characters, sometimes changing the form as the character develops. Romeo, for example, grows more proficient at the sonnet over the course of the play.

The play is set in Verona, Italy, begins with a street fight between Montague and Capulet servants who, like their masters, are sworn enemies. Prince Escalus of Verona mediates and declares that further rupture of the peace will be punishable by death. Later, Count Paris talks to Capulet about marrying his daughter Juliet, but Capulet asks Paris to wait another two years and invites him to attend a planned Capulet ball. Lady Capulet and Juliet's nurse try to persuade Juliet to accept Paris's courtship. But contrary to everyone’s wishes and better fate Juliet fall in love with one of the Montagues, Romeo, and the tragedy properly starts.

From the options you presented in the comments the best line that best reveal the dramatic irony is :

The last line.

O, well-a-day, that ever I was born!

Some ae, h! My lord! my lady!

Read these excerpts from The Way to Rainy Mountain by N. Scott Momaday
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

The answer is letter B, The first passage uses factual descriptions to achieve an informative tone, but the second passage uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone.

Explanation:

Every writer has a theme when it comes to writing. In order to let the audience or readers know about its theme, it sets a specific tone which <u>tells much about a writer's attitude</u>. The tone can vary in the different parts of the story or it can just be one.

In the passages above, the first one uses factual description to achieve an informative tone. <u>Factual descriptions</u> <em>are based on information that are proven to be true (facts).</em> The description of the Tai-me of being a small image, less than 2 feet in length, etc. shows the real description about the thing. <u>It then tries to inform or let the readers know what Tai-me is all bout, thus using an "informative tone."</u>

The second passage, on the contrary, uses personal experience to achieve a reflective tone. The writer tells a story about visiting his father and grandmother and seeing the Tai-me. This is a personal experience which tries to achieve a reflective tone by sharing insights to the readers.
