An Open Boat

by Alfred Noyes




O, what is that whimpering there in the darkness?

'Let him lie in my arms. He is breathing, I know.
Look. I'll wrap all my hair round his neck' – The sea's rising,
The boat must be lightened. He's dead. He must go.'

See - quick - by that flash, where the bitter foam tosses,
The cloud of white faces, in the black open boat,
And the wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover
And wraps her loose hair round his breast and his throat.

'Come, lady, he's dead.' - 'No, I feel his heart beating,
He's living, I know. But he's numbed with the cold.
See, I'm wrapping my hair all around him to warm him.' - -
'No. We can't keep the dead, dear. Come, loosen your hold.

'Come. Loosen your fingers.' - 'O God, let me keep him!' -

O, hide it, black night! Let the winds have their way!
And there are no voices or ghosts from that darkness,
To fret the bare seas at the breaking of day.

The imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of _____.
silence and peace
liveliness and joy
danger and gloom
anger and hostility

Answers

Answer 1

The imagery and word choice in the second stanza creates a tone of danger and gloom. Thus, the correct answer is option C.

What is imagery?

Imagery in writing refers to the use of literal or figurative language to add symbolism and allow the reader to imagine themselves in the world of the piece of literature.

The imagery and word choice in the second stanza create a tone of danger and gloom because the words "bitter" and "wild pleading woman that clasps her dead lover" clearly show that there is danger and some gloom, primarily because someone has died.

Therefore, a tone of danger and gloom is created by the imagery and word choice in the second stanza.

Explanation:

A figure of speech is a word or phrase that is used in a non-literal way to create an effect. This effect may be rhetorical as in the deliberate arrangement of words to achieve something poetic, or imagery as in the use of language to suggest a visual picture or make an idea more vivid. Overall, figures of speech function as literary devices because of their expressive use of language. Words are used in other ways than their literal meanings or typical manner of application.

Answers

Hello. You forgot to show part A of the question and forgot to enter the answer options.

Part A shows the main theme of the poem which is "Young soldiers don’t know what they’re getting into when they sign up for war." The response options in Part B are:

A. “What a smile! One large lamp for a face,/smaller lanterns where skin stretches over” ( Lines 1-2)

B. “involuntary shudders/when someone, somewhere, steps over/his shallow, unmarked, mass grave.” ( Lines 10-12)

C. “But his smile remains undimmed/ inviting, not knowing what hit him,” ( Lines 13-14)

D. “and a face just like/his figures like him to stop all action/ with a flick of finger on the trigger.” ( Lines 16-18)

Answer:

C. “But his smile remains undimmed/ inviting, not knowing what hit him,” (Lines 13-14)

Explanation:

This question is about the poem "Boy Soldier." The poem shows that the boys summoned to the war have no idea what they will face, are not well trained and do not imagine the terror of a battlefield. Even so, their enlistment is accepted with an inviting smile, as if they are going to have a wonderful and constructive experience.

In my contact with people I find that, as a rule, it is only the little, narrow people who live for themselves, who never read good books, who do not travel, who never open up their souls in a way to permit them to come into contact with other souls--with the great outside world. No man whose vision is bounded by colour can come into contact with what is highest and best in the world.

Write a short definition for the prediction step of previewing.​

Answers

Answer:

Previewing the text to get an overview

Previewing a text means that you get an idea of what it is about without actually reading the main body of the text.

2. Skimming

Skimming involves running your eye very quickly over large chunks of text. It is different from previewing because skimming involves the paragraph text. Skimming allows you to pick up some of the main ideas without paying attention to detail. It is a fast process. A single chapter should take only a few minutes.

3. Scanning

Scanning is sweeping your eyes (like radar) over part of a text to find specific pieces of information.

4. Intensive reading

Intensive reading is detailed, focused, ‘study’ reading of those important parts, pages or chapters.

This is 4 general steps, and will get you a 100%.

Explanation:

Predicting means that you take all of the clues you’ve collected, combine them with your prior knowledge about the topic, and make an educated guess about what the text will say.

2 injured in vehicle collision at Ram Maruti Road.
Anusha Banerjee
Thane, 10th June 2014
Two men were injured on Ram Maruti Road yesterday when a motorist failed to see an oncoming car. Rakesh Sharma (34) didn’t notice the Maruti Zen car driven by Sumant Dasgupta (27) because he was distracted by a noisy wedding procession on the road. Both the men are residents of Vrindavan society and were immediately taken to Dr. Salvi’s Hospital at Ram Maruti Road, Thane. Eyewitnesses say that even though Dasgupta tried to avert the situation by applying breaks, it didn’t help. Though he has escaped with minor abrasions, Sharma had to bear the full brunt of the impact. He has a broken nose and an injured shin bone. Both the men are recuperating at the hospital.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

This question tells us that the Number of songs bought by charlotte is equal to 16

One - fourth = 1/4 of these songs are pop songs

To get the total number of songs that are pop songs, we multiply 16 with 1/4

= 16 x 1/4

= 4.

So in conclusion, the total number of pop songs that charlotte bought is equal to 4.

Answers

Answer: I would prefer instruments

Explanation: My reasoning is this, i have a strong connection to music, the way it flows with emotions and passion. I write poetry, and poetry is simply a song without a melody if i knew all the worlds instruments, then perhaps i could give my writing it's own melody.

Answer:

This is a tough one, but I have to say, be fluent in every language.

Explanation:

I was tempted to go for the instrument one, but thinking about it, being fluent in every language would come with so many benefits. Let's say you've always had the strong desire to move out of your hometown and move far away from there. Depending on where, there might be a totally new language you're not familiar with. If you were fluent in every language that exists, this wouldn't be an issue. It just saves a bunch of time for you. (Bonus example: Imagine you went to the grocery store and you had people around you sh#t talking you in a different language. Ohh the look on their face when they realize you understood everything they said is so powerful haha!)
