Helen Grey

English
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]2 years ago
4 0

The theme of Christina Georgina Rossetti's poem "Helen Grey" is, beauty isn't everything. We know this to be true because the Rossetti describes Helen Grey as "handsome" and "proud" but also says "But so you miss that modest charm / Which is the surest charm of all." This shows the reader that Helen Grey is very attractive and takes pride in her attraction. However, she has let her beauty go to her head, resulting in an unpleasant personality that no man has found her attractive. The last four lines of the poem "Helen Grey" support the its main theme by drawing the reader's attention to the reality of age and time. Time will continue to go by causing Helen to grow old, wrinkly, and gray. Time will pass and with it, Helen's beauty shall pass too. If she does not  change her ways, she will be left with and unattractive personality, and face.

Illusion [34]

<span>I think that the author decided to begin passage 2 with a description of the city in order to  immerse the reader in the environment and the conditions in which babbitts are. The writer only wants to emphasize that a situation in which babbitts are, somehow has a connection with the area in which they are located, that is the city.</span>

Imagine that you are looking for the latest news about a national disaster such as a hurricane. List the pros and cons of gettin
kupik [55]

Answer:

The only pro is that you will know that there is a hurricane on its way but the con is that there is no news channel that is viewing the hurricane that is arriving.

Also a mainstream daily newspaper and independent blogger are not usual go to sources, but I would prefer a daily newspaper over a independent blogger any day when looking for the latest news about a national disaster because newspapers are published daily as for independent bloggers are technically not reliable daily sources.

Read the excerpt from the play A Man's World.
larisa [96]
The literary theme here is that women have a difficult time because nobody takes them seriously, or at least that's what it was like in the first half of the 20th century. Many people believed that women shouldn't be taken seriously and shouldn't have things like voting rights or rights to work or similar things because they were considered to be less serious than men, and that's putting it nicely because many people were not nice to them.

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

C.

Explanation:

Since the man is able to predict the events that come to pass, the man either has the ability to see into the future, an absurd amount of luck, or can cause these events by predicting them. With the exception of luck, the man clearly has some supernatural ability.
