Thoreau's Walden is about nature and its superiority to the civilized world. Hence his imagery implies the authenticity and vividness of nature, as opposed to the superficial and artificial edifice of humanity and civilization. Imagery appeals to human senses, and the reader gets a feeling that the described phenomenon can be touched, heard, seen, smelled - which conveys a colorful and profound view of nature, as something that is far from mere abstraction. Nature is, in fact, a genuine part of us that we can immerse in and enjoy with the whole of our being. For example, "the wood thrush sang around, and was heard from shore to shore" is an auditory imagery - we can almost hear the thrush's song and its echoing. A visual imagery can be seen in "<span>shallow and darkened by clouds, the water, full of light and reflections" - there are nuances of colors and meanings in this passage, which imply the ever changing and ever evolving nature of the landscape, which seems to have a life of its own.</span>
Answer:
"Quote" (Good Housekeeping, 24).
Explanation:
In-text citations are inserted in the body of your paper to shortly emphasize the source of your information. Brief in-text citations point the reader to more complete information in the works cited list at the end of the paper. <u>The works cited list would look like this -->> "Environmentally Friendly Flooring." </u><em><u>Good Housekeeping</u></em><u>, Dec. 2011, p. 24.</u>
But as we need the in-text citation, we would put in parentheses the name of the magazine and the page where we quoted from -->> <u>"Quote" (Good Housekeeping, 24).</u>
I hope it helped you :)
The lady who visits Dante in Canto II is called Beatrice. She was Dante's greatest love while she was alive. She died and went to heaven, but she still loves him and learns about the situation that Dante is going through. For this reason, she decides to help him using Virgil to mediate the interaction between the two, since she transfers to Virgil all the advice and guidelines that Dante will need to get through the moment he is in. Beatrice knows that Dante still loves her and that he will hear her message through Virgil.
Beatrice symbolizes divine love, one that is pure and that goes beyond physical and spiritual barriers.
Imagists believed that poems should have "no ideas but in things." In other words, they would described powerful images, and instead of explaining what those images meant, they would let the reader decide what the meaning or value of those images might be.
Imagists were especially fond of inviting the reader to recognize how very different sorts of images can actually be really similar. Ezra Pound famously did this with his short poem "In a Station of the Metro," which associates "faces in the crowd" with "petals on a wet, black bough."
The poem in your question does something very similar by associating the cat's footprints in the snow with the blossoming flowers of a plum tree. The writer wants you to recognize the odd visual similarity of the footprints and the flowers, ideally to show how there's a kind of cosmic connectedness in the world by (because two very different things end up being really similar).
That's why I think your best answer is A.
