How is this excerpt from Walden by Henry David Thoreau representative of romantic ideals?"This is a delicious evening, when the whole body is one sense, and imbibes delight through every pore. I go and come with a strange liberty in Nature, a part of herself. As I walk along the stony shore of the pond in my shirt-sleeves, though it is cool as well as cloudy and windy, and I see nothing special to attract me, all the elements are unusually congenial to me. The bullfrogs trump to usher in the night, and the note of the whip-poor-will is borne on the rippling wind from over the water. Sympathy with the fluttering alder and poplar leaves almost takes away my breath; yet, like the lake, my serenity is rippled but not ruffled."

A) It describes how man derives material benefits from contact with nature.

Answer:

The correct answer is D) It describes how individualism and imagination help man appreciate nature.


For Romanticists, nature was the most important thing. They felt at home in nature, and their feelings often mirrored the state in nature at that particular moment. Nature was their escape from the society that stifled them and their imagination. This is why they turned to nature, escaping from everything and everyone, and learning how to live on their own.

Which sentences in this excerpt from Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Contest" show Policles's lack of knowledge about the rules and restrictions of his society?Thence he concentrated himself upon the stage, on which Metas, a well-known minstrel from Corinth and an old friend of Policles, was singing and playing without much encouragement from the audience. To Policles it seemed that Metas was having less than his due, so he applauded loudly, but he was surprised to observe that the soldiers frowned at him, and that all his neighbours regarded him with some surprise. Being a man of strong and obstinate character, he was the more inclined to persevere in his clapping when he perceived that the general sentiment was against him.But what followed filled the shepherd poet with absolute amazement. When Metas of Corinth had made his bow and withdrawn to half-hearted and perfunctory applause, there appeared upon the stage, amid the wildest enthusiasm upon the part of the audience, a most extraordinary figure.. . . The blue-clad player struck several chords upon his lyre, and then burst suddenly out into the "Ode of Niobe." Policles sat straight up on his bench and gazed at the stage in amazement. The tune demanded a rapid transition from a low note to a high, and had been purposely chosen for this reason. The low note was a grunting, a rumble, the deep discordant growling of an ill-conditioned dog.. . . It was madness—insufferable madness! If this were allowed to pass, there was an end of all musical justice in Greece. Policles’ conscience would not permit him to be still. Standing upon his bench with waving hands and upraised voice, he protested with all the strength of his lungs against the mad judgment of the audience.

What are the different ways of interpreting the title of the short story "Was It a Dream?" In one to two paragraphs, explain your answer. 50 POINTS FOR ANSWER BRAINLIEST GOES TO BEST ANSWER IN PARAGRAPH FORM. AT LEAST FOUR SENTENCES.

Answers

The title "Was It a Dream" can be interpreted in a few different ways. A dream could be in your sleep and doesn't actually happen. A dream could also be something that actually happened but the details are blurry and you don't really remember it.
 i could only think of one 

The short story "Was It a Dream?" plays on the idea of a dream on several levels. First of all, the characters are unnamed and generic. This is a strategy in order to show the reader that the characters are not special, they are everyone. In fact, the character could be the reader himself. The story is built in this way, forcing us to empathize deeply with the character.

Second, the story leaves the character confused, questioning how well can we really get to know a person, even when we believe we love him or her. Therefore, the story has a dream-like quality for the character.

Finally, the reader himself cannot fully trust the events he was told. Not only is the character confused, but the reader himself is not offered any clarity, making it all feel like a dream.

Which approach is not used when making an appeal to pathos?emotional or passionate statements
attention to facts and statistics
vivid descriptions or images
personal stories or memories

Answers

The correct answer is: attention to facts and statistics

When making an appeal to pathos in a speech or in text, one would not focus their attention on facts and statistics. This is because an appeal to pathos is a rhetoric technique, where a writer or speaker persuades the audience of his or her point of view by using emotional appeal. In order to elicit emotions in their readers, individuals using pathos utilize techniques, including:

-Emotional or passionate statements

-Vivid descriptions or images

-Personal stories or memories
When one is appealing to pathos, also known as an emotional appeal, the persuader must utilise emotional or passionate statements, vivid descriptions or images, and personal stories or memories. Therefore, the answer for what they would not use is attention to facts and statistics, as those are used in logos (logical/rational appeal).
