What questions do you think remain unanswered in "The Wife's Lament"?I sing this song about myself, full sad, (1)
My own distress, and tell what hardships I
Have had to suffer since I first grew up,
Present and past, but never more than now;
I ever suffered grief through banishment.
For since my lord departed from this people
Over the sea, each dawn have I had care
Wondering where my lord may be on land.
When I set off to join and serve my lord,
A friendless exile in my sorry plight, (10)
My husband's kinsmen plotted secretly
How they might separate us from each other
That we might live in wretchedness apart
Most widely in the world: and my heart longed.
In the first place my lord had ordered me
To take up my abode here, though I had
Among these people few dear loyal friends;
Therefore my heart is sad. Then had I found
A fitting man, but one ill-starred, distressed,
Whose hiding heart was contemplating crime, (20)
Though cheerful his demeanour. We had vowed
Full many a time that nought should come between us
But death alone, and nothing else at all.
All that has changed, and it is now as though
Our marriage and our love had never been,
And far or near forever I must suffer
The feud of my beloved husband dear.
So in this forest grove they made me dwell,
Under the oak-tree, in this earthy barrow.
Old is this earth-cave, all I do is yearn. (30)
The dales are dark with high hills up above,
Sharp hedge surrounds it, overgrown with briars,
And joyless is the place. Full often here
The absence of my lord comes sharply to me.
Dear lovers in this world lie in their beds,
While I alone at crack of dawn must walk
Under the oak-tree round this earthy cave,
Where I must stay the length of summer days,
Where I may weep my banishment and all
My many hardships, for I never can (40)
Contrive to set at rest my careworn heart,
Nor all the longing that this life has brought me.
A young man always must be serious,
And tough his character; likewise he should
Seem cheerful, even though his heart is sad
With multitude of cares. All earthly joy
Must come from his own self. Since my dear lord
Is outcast, far off in a distant land,
Frozen by storms beneath a stormy cliff
And dwelling in some desolate abode (50)
Beside the sea, my weary-hearted lord
Must suffer pitiless anxiety.
And all too often he will call to mind
A happier dwelling. Grief must always be
For him who yearning longs for his beloved. (55)

C. The firefighter rescued the women in a blue nightgown.
D. Jim spotted an eagle as it flew over the Grand Canyon.

Answers

So first things first: we need to find the subject of each sentence, and then we need to find what the modifier of that subject is. To find the subject, we need to ask this question: who or what is doing the action here? In other words, who or what owns the sentence's verb? I've underlined the verb:

A) "the plot" is the subject (because it's the thing that "seemed a little thin")
B) "Raul" is the subject (because he's the one who "turned on the tv")
C) "The firefighter" is the subject (because she's the one who "rescuedthe woman")
D) "Jim" is the subject (because he's the one who "spotted an eagle"

Now that we know the key parts of the sentence (the subject and the verb), we can start to pick out the modifiers. A modifier is a group of words that describes something else in the sentence. The thing a modifier describes doesn't have to be the subject, but knowing the subject and verb can help us understand if a modifier is used correctly.

Let's look at A. We know "the plot" is the subject and that the plot already has a verb: "seemed." The modifier is "after reading the whole book," since this is a phrase that wants to tell us more about the person who read the whole book. But that person isn't mentioned in the sentence, so the modifier is accidentally describing "the plot," since "the plot" comes right after the modifier. That means that this sentence is telling us that the plot read the whole book. But plots can't read! So this is a misplaced modifier. To fix it, we'd need to say something like, "After reading the whole book, Billie thought the plot seemed a little thin."

B is fine, because "after he finished dinner" describes Raul, who is definitely the one who finished dinner.

C is tricky, though. Who is the one wearing the blue nightgown? Is it the firefighter or the woman who was rescued by the firefighter? Logic tells us that the rescued woman was wearing a nightgown, but the grammar of the sentence does not tell us that. So C has a misplaced or ambiguous modifier.

Finally, D is fine. We know that "flew over the Grand Canyon" can only descirbe the eagle, since we're told that it flew over the canyon. If it had said "Jim spotted an eagle as he flew over the Grand Canyon," then we wouldn't know, grammatically speaking, if it was the eagle or Jim who was flying.

Answer: D, Gilman wanted to illustrate to her readers how the rest cure could seriously damage a person.

Explanation: edmentum

The correct option is A. Charlotte Perkins Gilman has written: "The Yellow Wallpaper" in the first-person point of view Gilman wanted to depict a woman’s mental breakdown naturally and objectively.

The Yellow Wallpaper A Doctor's Wife's Perspective The first-person narrative in "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is that of a doctor's wife who suffers from a nervous ailment. The first-person perspective is constrained because it only allows the reader to see the woman's thoughts.

What is the narrator's point of view in The Yellow Wallpaper?

The Yellow Wallpaper's first-person narration makes it easier for us to comprehend the protagonist's thoughts and actions. The protagonist of the story, Jane, experiences a breakdown throughout, but since she is the one telling the story, we are able to understand why she is acting in particular ways.

By telling the story in the first person, the author allows readers to accompany the narrator as she descends into lunacy and engenders some sympathy for her suffering. We are able to sympathize with the storyteller because of the continual use of "I."

Which two of these excerpts from Homer’s Odyssey depict the gods’ involvement in mortal affairs? (Pick two of the best choices)“But, tell me who thou art? and what thy race?
Thy town, thy parents, and thy native place?
Or, if a merchant in pursuit of gain,
What port received thy vessel from the main?
Or comest thou single, or attend thy train?”

Then thus Minerva in Laertes' ear:
"Son of Arcesius, reverend warrior, hear!
Jove and Jove's daughter first implore in prayer,
Then, whirling high, discharge thy lance in air."

Cylenius now to Pluto's dreary reign
Conveys the dead, a lamentable train!
The golden wand, that causes sleep to fly,
Or in soft slumber seals the wakeful eye,
That drives the ghosts to realms of night or day,
Points out the long uncomfortable way.
