Why do you keep posting these same questions when you know you've received no replies? You are referring to many different works it seems that none of us have read. We aren't ignoring you. We just haven't read what you've read and, thus, cannot help.
1.) The correct answer is b. Infer the theme from details, images, and symbols. This is because themes are not often explicitly stated by the poet, but rather are implied through the various elements and techniques used in the poem.
2.) The correct answer is d. Rage is compared to a howling wind. In the poem "A Poison Tree" by William Blake, the speaker compares his rage to a howling wind to develop the theme of the destructive nature of anger.
3.) The correct answer is a. "A little black thing in times of woe crying 'weep, weep in notes of woe." This statement is an example of dramatic irony because it shows a little black thing who is feeling sad and crying, despite the supposed tone of joy and happiness in the line.
4.) The correct answer is c. There is some degree of discrepancy between expectation and reality. All types of irony involve a difference between what is expected or intended and what actually happens or is said.
5.) The correct answer is b. "Of beechen green, and shadows numberless..." This phrase uses synesthesia by combining visual and tactile sensations, as the phrase suggests seeing and counting shadows.
6.) The correct answer is a. Nature is seen as a force that acts on the human mind for the Romantic poets. They often saw nature as a source of inspiration and believed in its ability to evoke emotions and thoughts in humans.
7.) The correct answer is c. "Five years have past; five summers with the length..." This line from the poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" by William Wordsworth is not strict blank verse because it does not follow the pattern of unrhymed lines of iambic pentameter.
8.) The correct answer is d. "The river glideth at its own sweet will..." This sentence personifies the river by attributing human action (glideth) to it.
9.) The correct answer is c. Ancient civilizations. Wordworth uses allusion to reference ancient civilizations, such as Greece and Rome, to emphasize the speaker's connection to the natural world and the past.
10.) The correct answer is d. "Her, e'er, haunted." These words contain alliteration because they start with the same or similar sounds.
11.) The correct answer is b. "Sweetly, sweetly, blew the breeze-" This phrase contains assonance because of the repetition of the "ee" sound in "sweetly" and "breeze".
12.) The correct answer is d. All of the above. Frankenstein reflects the influence of the Romantic period through various aspects, including the portrayal of the monster as a sympathetic character, the incorporation of allusions to other romantic works, and the exploration of the conflict between human nature and experience.
13.) The correct answer is d. Both a and c. In Frankenstein, nature seems to react to Victor's feelings and thoughts, as well as being an essential part of his ability to create life.
14.) The correct answer is c. The stories of Robert Walton, the monster, and Victor Frankenstein. Frankenstein is structured as a frame narrative, with the central story being told through the letters of Robert Walton, while Victor Frankenstein and the monster share their own personal stories within Walton's narrative.
1.) The best way to figure out a poem's theme is to infer the theme from details, images, and symbols. This means looking for clues within the poem itself that can help you understand the underlying message or idea the poet is trying to convey. This could be through analyzing the language, imagery, and symbolism used in the poem. So, you are correct in choosing option b as the best way to determine a poem's theme.
2.) In the poem "A Poison Tree" by William Blake, the comparison used to develop the theme is that the results of evil are compared to a poison apple. This comparison helps to illustrate the consequences of nurturing negative emotions and how they can lead to destructive outcomes. So, you are correct in choosing option b.
3.) The best example of dramatic irony is the statement "I was angry with my friend; I told my anger and my wrath did end." This statement reflects a situation where the speaker is expressing anger towards their friend, but by the end of the line, they realize that expressing their anger has resolved the issue. This creates a sense of irony because the outcome is different from what was initially expected. Therefore, option c is the correct choice.
4.) All different types of irony have in common that they involve some degree of discrepancy between expectation and reality. Irony is often used to create humorous or ironic effects by presenting situations or statements that are contrary to what is expected. So, you are correct in choosing option c.
5.) The phrase that uses synesthesia is "of beechen green, and shadows numberless." Synesthesia is the blending of sensory experiences, such as when one sense is described in terms of another. In this case, the color of beechen green is combined with the senses of sight and touch in the word "shadows" to create a vivid and multi-sensorial image. So, you are correct in choosing option b.
6.) For the romantic poets, nature is seen as a force that acts on the human mind. Romantic poets often viewed nature as a source of inspiration and a means through which they could connect with something larger than themselves. It was believed that nature had the power to evoke strong emotions and stir the imagination. So, you are correct in choosing option a.
7.) The line from the poem "Lines Composed a Few Miles Above Tintern Abbey" that is not strict blank verse is "five years have past; five summers with length." Blank verse is a form of poetry that consists of unrhymed lines in iambic pentameter. In this line, the meter is disrupted by the additional syllables in "five summers with length." So option c is not strict blank verse.
8.) The best example of personification is the sentence "the river glideth at its own sweet will." Personification is a figure of speech in which human qualities are attributed to non-human entities. In this case, the river is given the human quality of having its own will. Therefore, option d is the correct answer.
9.) In "The World Is Too Much with Us" by Wordsworth, the allusion is used to emphasize the speaker's connection to ancient civilizations. The speaker refers to the Greek gods and pays tribute to their spirituality in an attempt to highlight the loss of nature and the lack of appreciation for its beauty in the modern world. So, you are incorrect in choosing option b.
10.) The words in which alliteration appears in the phrase "as e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted/by women wailing for her demon-lover" are "her, e'er, haunted." Alliteration is the repetition of consonant sounds at the beginning of neighboring words, and in this case, the "h" sound is repeated. Therefore, option a is the correct answer.
11.) The phrase that contains assonance is "the cold sweat melted from their limbs." Assonance is the repetition of vowel sounds within neighboring words. In this case, the long "e" sound in the words "sweat" and "melted" provides an example of assonance. So, you are incorrect in choosing option b.
12.) The influence of the Romantic period apparent in Frankenstein includes all of the options given. The novel can be seen as an example of the conflict between human nature and experience, it makes allusions to Romantic works such as "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," and the monster can be interpreted as a Romantic hero who is rejected from society. Therefore, option d is the correct answer.
13.) In Frankenstein, nature seems to react to Victor's feelings and thoughts. Throughout the novel, the natural world often mirrors or reflects the inner turmoil and emotions of the characters. So, you are incorrect in choosing option a.
14.) Frankenstein follows three distinct storylines that are woven together, which are the stories of Robert Walton, the monster, and Victor Frankenstein. These storylines intersect and intertwine throughout the novel to create a complex and interconnected narrative. So, you are correct in choosing option c.
