Which statement do these contrasting images from “Life at War” suggest? War tends to confuse the purpose of Man. War is atrocious, but Man gets used to it.

Match the bolded word in each excerpt from "Song of Myself" by Walt Whitman to its contextual meaning.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

graft - to combine or integrate

transpire - to be revealed

to mottle- to mark with spots

Explanation:

"Song of Myself" is a poem by Walt Whitman, included in his collection Leaves of Grass. It is also the longest poem in this collection, and deals with the search for identity.

In the first excerpt of the poem - <em>''The first I graft and increase upon myself, the latter I translate into new tongue''</em>, the meaning of the word <em>'graft'</em> is to combine or integrate.

In the second excerpt - <em>''It may be you transpire from the breasts of young men"</em>, the word <em>'transpire'</em> means to be revealed.

In the last excerpt, <em>"Earth of shine and dark mottling the tide of the river", </em>the contextual meaning of <em>'mottling'</em> is marking with spots or blotches.

Which of these sentences from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" is an example of allusion? A. It is the safe
Ede4ka [16]

The sentence from Herman Melville's short story "The Lightning-Rod Man" which is an example of allusion is the one we find in letter B. Who has empowered you, you Tetzel, to peddle round your indulgences from divine ordinations?

One of the characters is mocked by being called Tetzel, who was a German Dominican preacher who sold "indulgences" (paid forgiveness for one's sins) in the 1500's. In the aforementioned sentence, there is an allusion to Martin Luther, who was openly against Tetzel and his "indulgences". An allusion is an indirect reference to something or someone, and Martin Luther is indirectly mentioned in the sense that it's like he is talking to his adversary. Except it's not Martin Luther himself speaking; it's one of the characters who try to impersonate him.
