Meeting at Night" The gray sea and the long black land; And the yellow half-moon large and low; And the startled little waves th

at leap In fiery ringlets from their sleep, As I gain the cove1 with pushing prow2, And quench its speed i’3 the slushy sand. Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach; Three fields to cross till a farm appears; A rap at the pane4, the quick sharp scratch And blue spurt of a lighted match, And a voice less loud, thro’5 its joys and fears, Than the two hearts beating each to each. . —Robert Browning 1 A cove is a small inlet from the sea. 2 A prow is the front end of a boat. 3 i’ is short for in. 4 Pane refers to a windowpane. 5 Thro’ is short for through. Each stanza in this poem has six lines.

1- The first stanza rhymes with the sixth, the second one with the fifth and the third with the fourth. You can clearly observe this due to the ending sound of the chosen words at the end of each line.

2-The main idea of this poem is to express the longing and desire that a lover has to finally reach the person he loves. The imagery used by Browning constantly implies the longing feeling one lover feels towards the other.

3- The first stanza depicts a person who must endure the time and space that's between him and his lover. The phrase 'fiery ringlets' describe the way his lover's hair looks like.

4- The main character comes to the realization that time and space are non existent for those who are in love as they become one and the same.

In Snow-Bound, where does the speaker's sense of hope come from?
zubka84 [21]

In Snow Bound the authors sense of hope came from his family

Explanation:

This is a long narrative poem written by John Greenleaf Whittier recalling the incidents that happened during a snow storm. In this poem he describes how his family was hit by snow storm and then eventually snowbound and the consequences which caused them to be shut off from the entire world.

At first when the snow storm hailed the family was threatened and they planned ways to clear the huge piles of snow from their house but as days passed on it became more severe. The family started to read stories, remain calm and they found the situation much pleasing and they started enjoying the snow rather than being depressed. They gathered the hope that they would remain alive but it was no so and it was only the author and his brother who survived

dexar [7]

Answer:

The persuasive writing style.

Explanation:

Which writing style problem is most apparent (obvious) in Statement 1?

- Take a look at Statement 1:

"Please come to the meeting with some out-of-the-box ideas that really push the envelope"

- Recall the types of writing style:

1. Expository  2. Descriptive  3. Persuasive  4. Narrative

ANSWER:

The whole question is a note (probably from the head of sales team) to members of the sales team in an organization. The writer is exposing them to the purpose of the meeting or topics of discussion for the meeting (expository writing).

The writer is also persuading the team members to brainstorm before coming for the meeting; so as to make important contributions.

In Statement 1, the persuasion of the writer seems more like coercion. The writer is persuasive but stern about the level or quality of ideas he wants to get at the meeting.

The writing style problem that is most apparent in Statement 1 hence, is the persuasive writing style.
