Question

D*ckinson poem

Answer 1

I think it's personification. Also, you don't need to put an asterisk over the word wingspaninson... It's a name.

Answer 2

how about this one?
In line 9 of Whitman's poem, "ductile anchor" is an example of _____________. (10 points)
apostrophe
caesura
personification
overstatement
paradox

Answer 3

I see why... thats odd it changed to that.

Answer 4

Let me check on that.

Answer 5

yeah lol

Answer 6

Good God, I can't figure that out... I'm sorry.

Answer 7

can you please try ?

Answer 8

The only thing that might make sense is paradox for the the one before, but that's a stretch.

And yep this one is personification too.

Answer 9

what paradox?

Answer 10

Argh. no. I meant overstatement. For this one:
In line 9 of Whitman's poem, "ductile anchor" is an example of _____________. (10 points)
apostrophe
caesura
personification
overstatement
paradox

Answer 11

this is the poem-
“A Noiseless Patient Spider” by Walt Whitman

A noiseless patient spider,
I mark’d where on a little promontory it stood isolated,
Mark’d how to explore the vacant vast surrounding,
It launch’d forth filament, filament, filament, out of itself,
Ever unreeling them, ever tirelessly speeding them.

And you O my soul where you stand,
Surrounded, detached, in measureless oceans of space,
Ceaselessly musing, venturing, throwing, seeking the spheres to connect them,
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
Till the gossamer thread you fling catch somewhere, O my soul.

Answer 12

how is it overstatement dont understand?

Answer 13

Now it makes more sense, out of context I was just trying to think of anything possible. I am still trying to figure it out... hmm...

Answer 14

okay thanks for you help

Answer 15

No problem. I have no clue about the last one, I'm sorry: :/

Answer 16

do you know what a ductile anchor is

Answer 17

Ductile:
(of a metal) Able to be drawn out into a thin wire.
Able to be deformed without losing toughness; pliable, not brittle.

Anchor is obvious...

Answer 18

Hmm. I mean it can't be personification again... That's 3 out of 3... so i ruled that out.

Answer 19

what would you say it is if you had to guess

Answer 20

Personification, but I doubt that's it. If it's already been used so many times.

Answer 21

maybe its caesura?

Answer 22

a pause near the middle of the line is that it? caesura?

Answer 23

If they were overstating how thin the anchor was... Give me a second to think about caesura.

Answer 24

i think its caseura!!!
Till the bridge you will need be form’d, till the ductile anchor hold,
it has a comma

Answer 25

You are probably right, this one kinda stumped for some reason. So I'd go with that.

Answer 26

I really have to go, I'm sorry! I hope I helped in some way. I have to go and get back doing my work. I'm sorry! So sorry! I think you should trust your answer, though! You seem really smart!
