Helen Grey

English

GuDViN [60]2 years ago

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.

What effect does Stephen Crane achieve by repeating the phrase "the sacred cheese" in the short story "The Open Boat"?
Karolina [17]

Answer:

  1. A.) The crew's determination to realize their slight chance of reaching land.
  2. C.) compares the men to mice who must struggle to survive but have their efforts go in vain.

Explanation:

"The Open Boat" is normal for Crane's naturalistic style. Naturalism in writing is a point of view that frequently underscores the material, the physical condition as a determinant in human conduct.  

In "The Open Boat," one of the best short stories in the language, Crane depends on tone and symbolism to depict the cold blooded detachment of nature. The popular opening line, “None of them knew the color of the sky,” sets up a quick dreariness, a world drained of the emotional value of color. The sea is described as gray and the only green, suggestive of hope, is that of the land that the men cannot reach.

I'm pretty sure it's<em> </em>attitude. For example, in a satire, you feel irony. In an antiwar poem, you may feel protest or moral indignation. Tone can be playful, humorous, regretful, anything. I Hope this answers' it! :)
