The correct answers are these two options: “but the towers themselves look blind” and “shattered image of a man or a god”. Taken from the short story “<em>By the Waters of Babylon</em>” by Stephen Vincent Benét (1937), the passage presented above narrates the moment when John, the son of a priest, visits the Place of the Gods. <u>The Place of the Gods</u> or <u>The Dead Place</u> was a great city that was destroyed by a great burning and it was said to be inhabited with spirits and demons since then. Since the passage describes this <u>desolate place</u>, the writer used a suspense tone in the narration. By definition, desolation is the state of a place that is completely empty or where everything has been destroyed. In this case, the two options “<em>but the towers themselves look blind</em>” and “<em>shattered image of a man or a god</em>” are the correct phrases that describe the details of a destroyed, desolate place which is <u>the Place of the Gods</u>.

The two correct options are "but the towers themselves look blind" and "shattered image of a man or a god".

Explanation: Desolation is described as a state of emptiness, loneliness, misery, or destruction. Describing that the towers "themselves look blind" suggests that the towers and the surrounding area looks gloomy and barren. The second option describes a shattered image, indicating destruction.

Answer:

#2 Question on counterpoints

Explanation:

Sir Walter Raleigh writes "The Nymph’s Reply to the Shepherd" as a response to Christopher Marlowe’s poem. Each stanza of Raleigh’s poem is a rejection or disqualification of the Shepard's promises in “The Passionate Shepard to His Love”, these are his counterpoints. He stresses two ideas, the first is that all things fade in time, including love, and the second is that there are consequences for every action. In his story, the Nymph is portrayed as skeptical and cold-hearted. She believes love is too good to be true, meanwhile, the Shepard has a warmer and loving side. One counterpoint Raleigh makes is that nature is not as beautiful as it is portrayed in other poems. In Marlow’s poem nature is described in awe and wonder, while in Raleigh's it is described in a realistic and unfanciful sense. Another counterpoint he makes has to do with love. He claims that love “fades as quickly as the flowers die”. The main point of his poem is to communicate the realistic and prudent side of life, he believes that love does not last and similarly, the beauty of nature is as temporary as love. eventually fades and dies.

Analyze the elements of modernist poetry in Elizabeth Bishop’s poem "The Fish."
iVinArrow [24]

In her poem “The Fish,” Bishop describes her emotions when she catches a big fish and observes it carefully. The poet’s imagist style is found in her detailed description of the fish that she caught:

its pattern of darker brown

was like wallpaper:

shapes like full-blown roses

stained and lost through age.

Instead of using a specific rhyme scheme to give the poem a musical quality, Bishop uses literary devices, such as alliteration, to create rhythm in her poem:

still crimped from the strain and snap

She also creates a musical rhythm within the lines by using assonance:

frayed and wavering,

a five-haired beard of wisdom

trailing from his aching jaw.
