e stay To look down to Camelot. She knows not what the curse may be, And so she weaveth steadily, And little other care hath she, The Lady of Shalott. And moving thro' a mirror clear That hangs before her all the year, Shadows of the world appear.

Most Victorian women were restricted to their homes. B. Victorian women were confined to domestic duties. C. Most Victorian women worked hard but were often bored. D.

Answer:

The Victorian Era was the period of Queen Victoria's reign, from 1837 to 1901. The Victorian women was seen as belonging to the domestic sphere, and had very limited privileges. The Lady of Shalott is a beautiful poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson, written around 1833.

This particular text describes an abstract idea of the thoughts that a Victorian woman could conceive, in the same way that the Lady of Shalott could.

She enjoys her solitary world, even though she expresses a deep frustration about this 'world of shadows' around her. Let's remeber that during the Victorian era, women had very limited privileges and a small participation in society. This could have been her 'world of shadows'.

Ideally, this text would describe how Lord Tennyson perceived society in his era and he used the Lady of Shalott to reflect these thoughts and perceptions.

Happy to help!

Proofread the following text carefully, correcting any errors in spelling. Withinasmallchamber,aninternelcombustionenginecombine
bija089 [108]

Answer:

Within a small chamber, an internal combustion engine combines a precisely measured mix of fuel (typically petrol or diesel) and air. Once ignited, this explosive combination causes an expansion of hot, pressurized gases to exit the chamber, typically via pistons or a turbine. Thus the chemical energy is converted, albeit often not very efficiently, into mechanical energy which can then be used to power motors and drive machines.

Nady [450]
It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to complete this analogy, but hope this one helps. So if thread is to string, therefore, a cask is to barrel. A cask is a <span>large barrel like container made of wood, metal, or plastic, used for storing liquids especially those with alcohol. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Consider how cultural diversity defines American society and literature. Is the American identity static or fluid over time? How
noname [10]

Answer:

The American society is composed of an ethnical mix, with members of many nations which blend into one unique American identity, while keeping their authenticity. This authenticity can be seen clearly in the cultural diversity. Just like any other identity, American is fluid over time. It changes and alters, in accordance with societal changes. Identities are not carved in stone. While we have every right to actively participate in the process of fashioning our identities, they still have a relative autonomy, and change over time. For example, if I am an Italian immigrant who lives in the U.S., I still have every right to claim my Italian cultural inheritance, but it doesn't make me less of an American. By living in America, I am adopting new cultural traits. My children will have their own perception of their cultural identity that doesn't have to be the same as mine.
