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.

Read this excerpt from "The Bells” by Edgar Allan Poe. In the startled ear of night How they scream out their affright! Too much
Sindrei [870]

Hey there! I'm happy to help!

An onomatopoeia is basically a word that represents a sound. Examples include swoosh, bang, oink, screech, etc.

In this excerpt, the onomatopoeia is shriek. This is like a terrified scream. We have four answer options that talk about how this onomatopoeia can make you feel.

1. Frustrated

2. Serious

3. Panicked

4. Disbelief

We see that the word shriek definitely matches with number three, so the answer is Poe uses onomatopoeia and rhyme to create a mood of panic. We see that there is rhyme here too. Speak and shriek rhyme.

Have a wonderful day! :D

Identify and explain some of the basic premises of carpe diem poetry, then discuss how Raleigh’s “The Nymph’s Reply” answers the
Nitella [24]

Carpe Diem common meaning is "seize the day", which means that you must enjoy the day and maximize every moment as if it were the last. The idea is to have a productive well-lived day.

The phrase is in Latin, and was termed by the Roman poet Horace in his novel "Odes".

The "Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd", written by Sr. Walter Raleigh, refers to a young female nymph happy vision of life. For her, a true relationship must be based on loyalty and commitment, not like the shepherd's materialistic vision.

The nymph is always looking for something permanent that makes her happy, to "seize the day", even though they would be like dreaming: to be forever young, permanent happiness and true love.

What she means is that she really dreams of a joyful life with the shepherd on her side, but she realizes that he cannot afford her that because of his different and materialistic vision of life.
