Which of the following best describes the poet's use of language in this stanza?
A. The poet is using a simile to describe a personal experience.
B. The poet is using a metaphor to explain a universal feeling.
C. The poet is making a comparison to call attention to human frailty.
D. The poet is making an allusion to evoke a feeling of appreciation.
Answer:
first of all great poem and the answer is d i belive
Explanation:
The statement that best describes the poet's use of language in this stanza is the poet is making an allusion to evoke a feeling of appreciation. Thus, option D is correct.
What is allusion?Allusion is a figure of speech in which an object or incident from a different context is mentioned subtly or indirectly. The audience is left to make the straight link. When the author states the relationship clearly and unambiguously, it is referred to be a reference.
For Dickinson, hope sings its wordless melody and never stops: nothing can stop it. In other words (as it were), hope does not communicate with us by'speaking' to us in the usual sense: it is a sensation that we have, not always a reasonable one, that lifts our spirits even in the darkest of situations.
The best description of the poet's choice of language in this stanza is that the poet is using an allusion to elicit a feeling of admiration. As a result, option D is correct.

I NEED A 5 PARAGRAPH LITERARY ANALYSIS ESSAY ON THE LION KING
Will give 100 points
Answer:
The film I decided to summarize is The Lion King by Walt Disney. It is an animated
film as are all Disney movies. The movie opens with the themes song “The Circle Of Life” playing as the camera show Mufasa, king of the lions holding his newborn son Simba. The whole community of animals is here at Pride Rock to witness young Simba because he is the future king. Everyone in the kingdom is happy about the birth of the new prince except for one lion. That lion is Scar. Scar is Mufasas brother and was next in line to be king before Simba took his place. Scar is angry and jealous of young Simba. Young Simba is a very happy lion. He plays all the time with his best friend, a lioness named Nala. Simba is watched by the…show more content…
Scar then tells Simba that he should leave because Mufasas death was his fault and the kingdom will be angry with him.. Simba departs Pride Rock very solemnly. Simba finds his own place to live far away. He then meets Timon (a wisecracking merecat) and Pumba (a goofy warthog). Timon and Pumba become his best friends. They teach Simba to live with no worries. The three of them sing “Hakuna Matata”. As time passes Timon and Pumba raise Simba, they become his family. Simba is a full grown lion now, much resembling his father. Meanwhile, Pride Rock is in shambles. There is no food and there are hyenas everywhere. Scar and the hyenas have ruined the once great Pride Rock.. Scar makes it the lionesses job to go out and find food. One day while out hunting for food a fully grown Nala ventures to near Simbas home. The two recognize eachother fully grown. Nala tells Simba that everyone thought he was dead. She informs him of the kingdoms state and tells him that he should return and take his place as king. Simba refuses because he feels he’s been gone too long. Also in the back of his mind he still feels guilty and responsible for Mufasas death. Nala is angered and storms off. Simba goes off to think and while hes thinking he calls to his father for help. Mufasa appears to Sima in the clouds. Mufasa tells Simba that he must take his place in the circle of life and go take the throne like he was the king of the jungle...
