What is the setting of the introduction to poetry by Billy Collins?In the span of ten lines, the scene changes from a gloomy room in a strange mansion to sunbathing and waterskiing to a torture cell. Try doing that in a piece of fiction. In an odd way, Collins places us in a mental classroom.
In the opening few stanzas of Billy Collins' poem "Introduction to Poetry," the idea of appreciating a poetic work is introduced. The poet employs a creative approach to illustrate postmodernism ideology. The poet asserts that reading poetry should be an enjoyable experience rather than a time to ponder its deeper meaning.
Thus, A poem that is greater than the sum of its metaphorical components is Introduction to Poetry.

what is an adjective

For example, red, quick, happy, and obnoxious are adjectives because they can describe things—a red hat, the quick rabbit, a happy duck, an obnoxious person.
Discuss the theme of outcasts in these chapters (17-19) in at least two hundred words. What does it mean that the church takes in people that the clan rejects? How is Nwoye an outcast? How does the clan treat the missionaries as outcasts?
Answer:
The missionaries request a piece of land on which to build a church. The village leaders and elders offer them a plot in the Evil Forest, believing that the missionaries will not accept it. To the elders’ amazement, the missionaries rejoice in the offer. But the elders are certain that the forest’s sinister spirits and forces will kill the missionaries within daysThe church wins many converts from the efulefu (titleless, worthless men). One day, several osu, or outcasts, come to church. Many of the converts move away from them, though they do not leave the service. Afterward, there is an uproar, but Mr. Kiaga firmly refuses to deny the outcasts membership to the church. He argues that they will not die if they cut their hair or break any of the other taboos that have been imposed upon them. Mr. Kiaga’s steadfast conviction persuades most of the other converts not to reject their new faith simply because the outcasts have joined them. The osu soon become the most zealous members of the church. To the clan’s disbelief, one boasts that he killed the sacred royal python. Okonkwo urges Mbanta to drive the Christians out with violence, but the rulers and elders decide to ostracize them instead. Okonkwo bitterly remarks that this is a “womanly” clan. After announcing the new policy of ostracism, the elders learn that the man who boasted of killing the snake has died of an illness. The villagers’ trust in their gods is thereby reaffirmed, and they cease to ostracize the converts.
Summary: Chapter 19
Okonkwo’s seven years of exile in Mbanta are drawing to an end. Before he returns to Umuofia, he provides a large feast for his mother’s kinsmen. He is grateful to them but secretly regrets the missed opportunity to have further increased his status and influence among his own clan. He also regrets having spent time with such un-masculine people. At the feast, one man expresses surprise that Okonkwo has been so generous with his food and another praises Okonkwo’s devotion to the kinship bond. He also expresses concern for the younger generation, as Christianity is winning people away from their families and traditions.
Analysis: Chapters 17–19
Nwoye is drawn to Christianity because it seems to answer his long-held doubts about his native religion, specifically the abandonment of twin newborns and Ikemefuna’s death. Furthermore, Nwoye feels himself exiled from his society because of his disbelief in its laws, and the church offers refuge to those whom society has cast out. The church’s value system will allow twins to live, for example, which offers comfort to the pregnant woman who has had to endure the casting away to die of her four sets of newborn twins. Similarly, men without titles turn to Christianity to find affirmation of their individual worth. The osu are able to discard others’ perception of them as members of an ostracized caste and enter the church as the equals of other converts.
Okonkwo, on the other hand, has good reason to reject Christianity. Should Mbanta not drive the missionaries away, his killing of Ikemefuna would lose part of its religious justification. The damage to his relationship with Nwoye also seems more pointless than before. Both matters become his mistake rather than the result of divine will. Moreover, men of high status like Okonkwo view the church as a threat because it undermines the cultural value of their accomplishments. Their titles and their positions as religious authorities and clan leaders lose force and prestige if men of lower status are not there—the great cannot be measured against the worthless if the worthless have disappeared.

Read the excerpt from "The Scarlet Ibis."
The lightning was near now, and from fear he walked so
close behind me he kept stepping on my heels. The faster |
walked, the faster he walked, so I began to run. The rain
was coming, roaring through the pines, and then, like a
bursting Roman candle, a gum tree ahead of us was
shattered by a bolt of lightning. When the deafening peal of
thunder had died, and in the moment before the rain
arrived, I heard Doodle, who had fallen behind, cry out,
"Brother, Brother, don't leave me! Don't leave me!"
The imagery in this excerpt most reflects
the sense of sight to emphasize the fear that Doodle
was feeling
the sense of sight to emphasize how difficult it was for
the boys to see
the sense of sound to emphasize the frustration of the
narrator.
the sense of sound to emphasize the intense volume of

What must you do before you get off a bus? Get on it.Humor
The sign says to keep off the grass, but there is only dirt in the lotIrony.
Explanation:
Exaggeration/Hyperbole: This is an obvious over-amplification of claims or events for added effect. It is usually not taken literally. This is used to pass across a message to show the severity or consequence of something.
An example is " I was so hungry, i could swallow a horse".
This does not mean that the person can literally swallow a horse but just to show the extent of the hunger.
Humor: Humor is the quality of being comical or amusing usually to elicit laughter.
The example above, "What must you do before you get off a bus> Get on it".
This uses humor to show that one must first be on a bus before he can think of getting off and the question is constructed in a funny way.
Irony: This is the expression of one's feelings through the use of words that signify the opposite of what is really meant, usually for emphasis.
What are three ways orchids attract insects to spread their flowers pollen
Answer:
They depend on birds, bees or insects to spread their pollen to another orchid flower. Such plants produce a smell that attracts pollinators not normally attracted to them. Other orchids trick male flies by making themselves look like female flies.
Explanation: But orchids typically have exclusive relationships with their pollinators. These are usually bees, wasps, and flies, but many orchids also utilize moths, butterflies, fungus gnats, or birds to cross-pollinate their flowers.

Answer:
OD. A radio station creates a broadcast of the story of Pandora with a lot of
dialogue, starring well-known voice actors in the roles of Pandora and
Zeus.
Explanation:
A medium is basically just the means of doing something. So the story is the same, but it is told in a different way. Because the broadcast is made with more dialogue and is told in a different way, it involves a change of medium.

Which hides your life and shows not half your parts
If I could write the beauty of your eyes
And in fresh numbers number all your graces,
The age to come would say This poet lies,
Such heavenly touches ne'er touchd earthly faces.
So should my papers yellowd with their age
Be scorn'd like old men of less truth than tongue,
And your true rights be termd a poet's rage

But were some child of yours alive that time,
You should live twice: in it and in my rhyme

The main character lives in West Egg, in a small, comfortable, but not very nice-looking house. However, he feels just fine there.
However, he himself declares that the story will only unfold once he visits the wealthier, and more fashionable East Egg, and for that reason, we can say that the conflict of the story will based on wealth and appearances.
From the reading of the text, the contrast created between East Egg and West Egg suggests that the story's conflict will be based on wealth and appearances.
The reading of the text placed a lot of emphasis on the features of the wealthy environment that the speaker found himself in.

Read the excerpt from Mark Twain's "The £1,000,000 Bank-Note".
Well, I was perfectly honest and square with her; told her I hadn't a cent in the world but just the million-pound note she'd heard so much talk about, and it didn't belong to me, and that started her curiosity; and then I talked low, and told her the whole history right from the start, and it nearly killed her laughing. What in the nation she could find to laugh about I couldn't see, but there it was; every half-minute some new detail would fetch her, and I would have to stop as much as a minute and a half to give her a chance to settle down again. Why, she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed; I never saw anything like it. I mean I never saw a painful story--a story of a person's troubles and worries and fears--produce just that kind of effect before.
Which rhetorical device is demonstrated in the excerpt?
Answer:
The answer is hyperbole.
Explanation:
It's a familiar question.
Also, Hyperbole is an exaggeration. The most blatant display of exaggeration here is the author's description of her laughter.
The following lines show this:
"...and it nearly killed her laughing"
"...she laughed herself lame--she did, indeed;"
She couldn't have possibly laughed herself lame of course but the hyperbole is used in showing how hard she must have laughed at what he was telling her.

What words or phrases does Longfellow use in the poem to create a dramatic tone that would resonate with a nation on the brink of Civil War?
According to a different source, this question refers to the poem "Paul Revere's Ride" by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807 – 1882).
In this poem, the author and abolitionist Henry Wadsworth Longfellow describes the long ride of Paul Revere. Longfellow wrote this poem at a critical time in American history, the Civil War. As the nation was on the brink of war, a poem about the American spirit and the greatness of hero resonated with a lot of people. The poem also resonated because of the words and phrases used in the text.
For example, Longfellow argues that Revere rode "through every Middlesex village and farm,/ For the country-folk to be up and to arm." This suggests that the support for the Patriots was overwhelming. He also describes the scene as "A phantom ship, with each mast and spar/ Across the moon, like a prison-bar,/ And a huge black hulk, that was magnified/ By its own reflection in the tide." This setting presents a dramatic scenario. Finally, Longfellow describes "A cry of defiance, and not of fear,/ A voice in the darkness, a knock at the door,/ And a word that shall echo forevermore!" This suggests the importance of Revere's duty, as well as the bravery he displayed.
