Ozymandiasby Percy Bysshe Shelley

I met a traveller from an antique land

Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone

Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed:

And on the pedestal these words appear:

‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

What does the statue in “Ozymandias” symbolize?

the erosion of a powerful civilization

the country of Egypt

an ancient ruler

the wealth of the kingdom

Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand,

Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown,

And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,

Tell that its sculptor well those passions read

Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,

The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;

And on the pedestal these words appear:

"My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:

Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!"

Nothing beside remains. Round the decay

Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare

The lone and level sands stretch far away."

Explanation:

Peter is writing an analytical essay on the novel The Death of Ivan Ilych by Leo Tolstoy. At what stage of the writing process should he develop his thesis statement? prewriting, drafting, editing, revising

Answers

Drafting- this is the term applied to the initial formation of the text in it's first form. Prewriting-is really a term one applies to reseach. This will give you the background to develop your core themes but it is not until you start drafting that the ideas you start out with are formed enough to act as your central thesis statement.
