Give two examples of the use of supernatural in The Rime of Ancient Mariner? |
|
Answer» The supernatural elements actually appear with the albatross, which has arrived in order to help guide the Mariner\'s ship through a fog bank. When the Ancient Mariner kills the albatross, he has not only violated concepts of gratitude and hospitality, he has, on a whim, killed a living being that has come to same him and his ship. I believe we are meant to see the albatross, in part, in a Christian context--like Christ, who came to earth to save us, the albatross arrives to save the mariners and their ship, and the reward for this generosity is his execution.Nature itself becomes relentlessly supernatural after the killing of the albatross: the wind stops, temperatures climb, drinking water runs out. These are not merely problems for a ship at sea; they are all life-threatening. The crew, sensing its own complicity in the Mariner\'s action, decide to hang the albatross around his neck, an allusion to the concept of the Judeo-Christian scapegoat, who wears an amulet representing the sins of the people and is sent into the desert to die for everyone\'s sins.As we know, several horrific supernatural elements seal the fate of the ship and crew--slimy snakes from the bottom of the ocean come to the ship; a ghost-ship, with the figures of Death and Death-in-Life, arrives and the entire crew dies (Death) but the Mariner remains alive (Death-in-Life).The Mariner\'s salvation comes when he, unconsciously and full of pity, blesses the slimy sea snakes, and the albatross falls from his neck, an indication that Nature and/or God has forgiven his original sin of killing the albatross. His penance, however, is not complete, for he has to keep telling his story, first to the hermit on the pilot boat and then to the Wedding Guest. It\'s only after the repeated telling of this awful tale that the Ancient Mariner achieves some peace. Unfortunately, the Wedding Guest is negatively affected by the tale, avoids the wedding, and wakes up the next day "a sadder and wiser man."There is a variety of supernatural elements or parts that are suggestive of supernatural factors throughout the poem. The ancient mariner is narrating the journey he had on the boat, and there are ups and downs throughout his trip. Such ups and downs are effectively emphasized by the narrator’s portraying them in supernatural manner or incorporating magical elements while describing them.The first supernatural moment I encountered in the narrative is the part where the old mariner talks to the stranger in the wedding. The stranger at first seems quite hesitant to listen to the mariner’s story and even tells the mariner to go away as it is portrayed in the poem “Hold off! unhand me, grey-beard loon!’. Yet, as the mariner keeps staring at the stranger with the somehow captivating “glittering eyes”, the stranger stands still and starts listening to him as though he were spellbound by the mariner’s magic. It is described in the poem as “The Wedding-Guest stood still, and listens like a three years’ child.” A cause that drove the stranger to make such a dramatic change in mind in just a second is seen as supernatural to the reader. This magical moment is significant in a way that it gives the reader a sense that there is something special and captivating about the mariner. He is just introduced in a poem, and the majority of the rather inattentive readers might simply dismiss the mariner as a uninvited guest who ruins the mood of the wedding. Yet, his persuading the stranger to listen to him shows there is something worthy of listening to the ancient mariner’s story. Another effect this supernatural moment brings about is helping the readers to focus on what the mariner is about to say. It gives mariner an authority as a narrator of the poem.\xa0\xa0 The supernatural element is very prominent in the poem. The supernatural is evident from the very beginning of the poem. The main character, the ancient mariner with his ‘glittering eyes’ casts a spell on a wedding guest and compels him to listen to his story. Another example of the supernatural is the albatross, which the mariner encounters on his journey.The arrival of the albatross is hailed as a welcome sign, a good omen – a Christian soul. The killing of the albatross arouses the wrath of the supernatural spirits. The sailors believe the spirit of the albatross is following them and causing them agony. The sudden sinking of the ship, a skeleton ship and many other supernatural incidents are there in the poem. |

Anne frank\'s Relationship with his mother |
| Answer» Ans.\xa0Anne\'s relationship with her mother is not good. Anne thinks that her mother always supports Margot rather than supporting her. Also she thinks herself as a mentally mature girl and doesn\'t want to share anything with her mother. Moreover Anne loves her father Mr.Otto Frank very much when compared to anyone else in her life. in the context, she says "I can even imagine my mother dying one day.But I can\'t imagine living without my father\'. Also Anne usually used to pray with her father. But one day when her mother wanted to do so with Anne, she sent her mother cowardly and after that, she apologized to her only on Pim\'s advice.But on the side of her mother\xa0the story was entirely different. She always used to support Anne when Mrs.Van Dan scolds Anne for being playful. Thus, the relationship between Anne and her mother was one sided. | |

Anne frank\'s Relationship with his father? explain in detail |
| Answer» Ans.\xa0Anne\'s relationship with her father is that of a "daddy\'s girl." She thinks he can do no wrong (unlike her mother) and is completely loyal to him. Mr. Frank is the one person who can get through to Anne, no matter how she is feeling. She gives her father all of the love she withholds from her mother.\xa0She is at an age where this is quite normal. Anne Frank has been analyzed over and over again for the things she wrote in her diary, and sometimes we tend to scrutinize far more than necessary. | |

Why is the snake called a king of exile |
|
Answer» Just like when a king is banished or expelled from a kingdom , man is responsible for sending away the snake. Man is the sole reason for separating the snake from its natural habitat. The case of the snake is same with that of the king because just as an exiled king comes back with vengeance in his heart,the snake would also come back from the underworld someday soon.

How did the conspirators execute their plan to kill Caesar? |
|
Answer» First, they plan to have Decius go to Caesar\'s house to make sure he goes to the meeting. It\'s a good thing they decided to do this because Calpurnia almost has Caesar convinced to stay home, but Decius appeals to his vanity by telling him that people will say he is ruled by a woman\'s fears and by telling him that the senate plans to ask him to be king (see Act II, scene 2).Second, once Caesar arrives at the meeting place, the conspirators surround him so that no one can warn him of what is to come or protect him when it happens. They make sure Antony is not around when they do the deed (Act III, scene 1).

what was ironic about the inscription on the pedestal of \'ozymandias\'statue? |
|
Answer» P.B. Shelley\'s poem \'Ozymandias\' explores the transience of power, empire, and legacy. It highlights the ironical fact that instead of trembling and despairing at his power, the mighty should now tremble and despair at Ozymandias\'s loss of power, because this too will happen to them. This is the irony, rulers think they are safe and secure, but in reality they will be broken. Ozymandias meant his words to mean one thing: as is always the case with irony, they ended up to mean something different from what he intended.The inscription on the pedestal reads, "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look at my works, Ye Mighty, and despair!" The irony of this statement is that there are no longer any "works" left to marvel at. Evidence of Ozymandias\'s imperial accomplishments has diminished with time, and there are no remains of his former glory. Ans.The inscription on the statue says "My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: LOOK UPON MY WORKS, ye Mighty and despair!". Ozymandias challenges the other mighty and powerful kings to look at his works (kindom, wealth, achievements) because he thought they would last for ever and will be eternal.But the irony is that nothing else remains other than the statue. Everything has been razed to the ground. There is only sand and more sand which remains. Even the statue is not proper and has been destroyed as well. |

Character sketch of Decius Brutus and Cassius\xa0 |
| Answer» Decius Brutus is the conspirator who persuades Caesar to attend the Senate on the day of the Ides of March by fabricating a flattering interpretation of Calphurnia\'s portentous dream and by telling Caesar that the Senate intends to crown him king.Decius joins the secret meeting with the other conspirators to plan the assassination of Caesar. Decius brings up the important question of whether others are to be killed as well. Cassius states his position. \'Let Antony and Caesar fall together,\' he says. Brutus, however, believes that the citizens will turn against the conspirators if there is too much bloodshed. He is able to convince the others to kill only Caesar to thwart his political ambitions. Allowing Antony to live, of course, proves to be a grave error since Antony assembles an army to avenge Caesar\'s murder.Cassius is the\xa0leader of the conspiracy against Caesar and brother-in-law of Brutus.\xa0He is a talented general and longtime acquaintance of Caesar.\xa0Cassius dislikes the fact that Caesar has become godlike in the eyes of the Romans.He slyly leads Brutus to believe that Caesar has become too powerful and must die, finally converting Brutus to his cause by sending him forged letters claiming that the Roman people support the death of Caesar.An impulsive and unscrupulous man, Cassius harbors no illusions about the way the political world works. A shrewd opportunist, he proves successful but lacks integrity. Cassius\'s character develops as the story of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar unfolds. At first he leads Brutus into the plot to kill Caesar, but in time he allows Brutus to lead the conspiracy. | |

how anne is a role\xa0model for The youth of Today?\xa0 |
| Answer» Ans. Anne serves as a role model for the youth of today because she offers a lesson in grace and courage in the face of unforeseen adversities. Her writing has a transformative power which takes every day mundane activities and makes it into amusing anecdotes, showing us how a claustrophobic space such as the secret annex can also be fertile ground for creativity and imagination.Anne deftly navigates her inner and outer world, weaving them together through her contemplative stance on life which is often undercut by her ironic interjections. She not only captures her personal journey but also gives us a commentary on the sociocultural atmosphere and especially, the experience of the war from the perspective of lived reality. In doing so, we come to meet a young girl, full of potential and dreams, but lived under the palpably real threat of death and destruction and yet managed to see the positive side of life hold on to her optimism.That is a lesson that not just the youth but also the grown up adults can take in life. | |

Mirror poem summary....class 10\xa0 |
| Answer» Ans.\tIn this poem, a mirror describes its existence and its owner, who grows older as the mirror watches.\tThe mirror first describes itself as “silver and exact.” It forms no judgements, instead merely swallowing what it sees and reflecting that image back without any alteration.\tThe mirror is not cruel, “only truthful.” It considers itself a four-cornered eye of a god, which sees everything for what it is. Most of the time, the mirror looks across the empty room and meditates on the pink speckled wall across from it. It has looked at that wall for so long that it describes the wall as “part of my heart.”\tThe image of the wall is interrupted only by people who enter to look at themselves and the darkness that comes with night. The mirror imagines itself as a lake. A woman looks into it, trying to discern who she really is by gazing at her reflection. Sometimes, the woman prefers to look at herself in candlelight or moonlight, but these are “liars” because they mask her true appearance.\tOnly the mirror (existing here as lake) gives her a faithful representation of herself. Because of this honesty, the woman cries and wrings her hands. Nevertheless, she cannot refrain from visiting the mirror over and over again, every morning.\tOver the years, the woman has “drowned a young girl” in the mirror, and now sees in her reflection an old woman growing older by the day. This old woman rises toward her out of the mirror like “a terrible fish.” | |

Character sketch of mr. Authur H. Keller and mrs. Kate adams keller\xa0 |
| Answer» Kate Adams was the second wife of Helen\'s father Arthur H. Keller and many years younger than him. Helen\'s mother Kate Keller had named her daughter after her mother called Helen Everett. Helen had contracted an illness which closed her eyes and ears and plunged her into the unconsciousness of a new-born child. It was called an acute congestion of the stomach and brain. It was from this period that Helen remembered the tenderness with which her mother tried to soothe her in her wailing hours of fret and pain. She tried to placate her child as Helen woke from sleep and turned her eyes to find her vision getting dimmer. Her mother succeeded in making Helen understand a good deal about different kinds of everyday things and Helen always knew when she wished her to bring something. Helen owed to her all the loving wisdom that was bright and good. Helen was extremely attached to her mother, she was also jealous of her sister because she thought of her as an intruder between mother and daughter. Kate was someone whom Helen admired and loved deeply, Helen revered her mother. | |
