Which rhyming couplet from Phillis Wheatley’s “On Imagination” contains an inverted sentence?

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: The first rhyming couplet from the poem contains an inverted sentence. This was done so as to create a rhyme between "see" and "thee". That is why the first line does not follow the standard Subject Verb Object pattern.

Which theme would best fit a production of The Tempest in which Prospero is depicted as a high school soccer player?A. The theme of teamwork and leadership
B. The theme of social inequality and injustices
C. The theme of hard work and dedication
D. The theme of cunning and deception

Answers

The correct answer is: A. The theme of teamwork and leadership

Indeed, in Shakespeare’s play Prospero is an individual hero that uses sorcery to protect his daughter Miranda. He does not work cooperatively with other characters and he is opposed by Caliban and a cohort of enemies that includes his brother Antonio. Prospero symbolizes the English Monarch who rules individually over the collective nation.

Depicting him as a high school soccer player only makes him the first among equals which is definitely a break from Shakespeare’s approach.
The theme of teamwork and leadership

Problems of poverty, classism, and social injustice are explored throughout the text.The novel Tonya read has characteristics specific to which literary movement?
Postmodernism
Realism
Romanticism
Classism

Answers

Answer:

Realism

Explanation:

Realism in writing often referred to as Literary Realism, is a style of writing in which the writer depicts the reality by portraying mundane, everyday experiences as they are in real life. It is often associated with familiar people, places, and stories, primarily about the struggle of middle and lower classes of society.

In other words, Literary realism tends to portray a story as truthfully as possible rather than dramatizing or romanticizing the contents.

Literary Relaism is sometimes referred to as Victorian style of writing or literature which started in the 19th century, some of the examples includes:

1. Adam Bede by George Eliot

2. The Crucible by Arthur Miller
Given that the plot is set in the nineteenth century, and that it is pretty realistic, I can safely conclude that the correct answer is 'realism'. The other answers don't fit, theme-wise, and the era they originated in: classicism and romanticism were before the 19th c., and postmodernism started in the 20th.
