Which two texts in this excerpt from the poem "Dreams" by Edgar Allan Poe use enjambment?

Oh! that my young life were a lasting dream!
My spirit not awakening, till the beam
Of an Eternity should bring the morrow.
Yes! tho' that long dream were of hopeless sorrow,
'Twere better than the cold reality
Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,

Answers

Answer 1

My spirit not awakening, till the beam

Of an Eternity should bring the morrow.

AND

'Twere better than the cold reality

Of waking life, to him whose heart must be,


Enjambment is when a sentence continues across two lines of poetry without a pause. When reading poetry, the reader does not pause at the end of each line, instead one should pause only according to the punctuation. The lines that end with "beam" and "reality" have no punctuation and therefore should not have a pause. The lines ending in dream, morrow, sorrow, and be all have some form of punctuation so these lines are not enjambment.

Answer 2

The two texts in the excerpt that use enjambment are: 1. My spirit not awakening, till the beam, 2. Of waking life, to him whose heart must be.

Enjambment is a poetic device where a sentence or phrase continues from one line of verse to the next without a grammatical pause or a natural stopping point. Instead of ending at the line break, the thought or idea carries over to the next line, creating a sense of fluidity and continuity in the poem. This technique is often used to emphasize certain words or ideas, to create tension or surprise, or to control the pace and rhythm of the poem.

In the excerpt from Edgar Allan Poe's "Dreams," enjambment is used effectively to convey the speaker's stream of consciousness and the uninterrupted flow of their thoughts and emotions. Let's analyze the two lines that use enjambment:

1. My spirit not awakening, till the beam

  - In this line, the phrase "My spirit not awakening" continues onto the next line without a pause. This enjambment emphasizes the idea of the speaker's spirit remaining dormant until a certain event ("the beam"). The continuation of the phrase onto the next line emphasizes the delayed awakening, highlighting the importance of the moment when the spirit finally stirs.

2. Of waking life, to him whose heart must be

  - Similarly, in this line, the phrase "Of waking life" extends beyond the line break. This enjambment emphasizes the contrast between "waking life" and the dreamlike state that the speaker desires. By carrying the phrase over to the next line, the poet emphasizes the significance of "waking life" and the emotional impact it has on the speaker's heart.

Overall, enjambment in these lines helps to convey the speaker's introspective and contemplative tone, as well as their longing for a dreamlike existence free from the harsh realities of life. It creates a sense of fluidity and continuity in the poem, allowing the reader to experience the speaker's thoughts and emotions as they unfold.

Memories of a Memory
 Have you ever witnessed something amazing, shocking or surprising and found when describing the event that your story seems to change the more you tell it? Have you ever experienced a time when you couldn't really describe something you saw in a way that others could understand? If so, you may understand why some experts think eyewitness testimony is unreliable as evidence in scientific inquiries and trials. New insights into human memory suggest human memories are really a mixture of many non-factual things. First, memory is vague. Imagine your room at home or a classroom you see every day. Most likely, you could describe the room very generally. You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations. But the image you describe will never be as specific or detailed as if you were looking at the actual room. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details. So when a witness tries to identify someone, her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people. There are lots of different kinds of "tall." Second, memory uses general knowledge to fill in gaps. Our brains reconstruct events and scenes when we remember something. To do this, our brains use other memories and other stories when there are gaps. For example, one day at a library you go to quite frequently, you witness an argument between a library patron and one of the librarians. Later, when telling a friend about the event, your brain may remember a familiar librarian behind the desk rather than the actual participant simply because it is recreating a familiar scene. In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story. Third, your memory changes over time. It also changes the more you retell the story. Documented cases have shown eyewitnesses adding detail to testimony that could not have been known at the time of the event. Research has also shown that the more a witness's account is told, the less accurate it is. You may have noticed this yourself. The next time you are retelling a story, notice what you add, or what your brain wants to add, to the account. You may also notice that you drop certain details from previous tellings of the story. With individual memories all jumbled up with each other, it is hard to believe we ever know anything to be true. Did you really break your mother's favorite vase when you were three? Was that really your father throwing rocks into the river with you when you were seven? The human brain may be quite remarkable indeed. When it comes to memory, however, we may want to start carrying video cameras if we want to record the true picture. Which line from the text best explains the main problem with recalling details of a scene or room?
A.   You could name the color of the walls, the floors, the decorations B.Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details
C.Her brain may recall that the person was tall, but not be able to say how tall when faced with several tall people
D.In effect, your brain is combining memories to help you tell the story

Answers

The answer to your question is B hope this helps

Answer:

B. Memory tends to save a blurry image of what we have seen rather than specific details.

Explanation:

The text talks about how memory tends to be distorted in it's own way to change or alter little bits of information when it is again retold. And when that happens, the new retold recounted story is not exactly what had happened. Rather, it tends to be a story with some added details though not intentionally by the teller. It is our brain's way of making us complete the story or at times to fill the forgotten bits of the story to make it full. And it is not always the case when one can fully recount a story or incident with the full exact details.

In Richard Connell's short story "The Most Dangerous Game," the main character, Sanger Rainsford, is a former war hero. Which sentence from this excerpt hints at his time serving in the war? He had not been entirely clearheaded when the chateau gates snapped shut behind him. His whole idea at first was to put distance between himself and General Zaroff; and, to this end, he had plunged along, spurred on by the sharp rowers of something very like panic. Now he had got a grip on himself, had stopped, and was taking stock of himself and the situation. He saw that straight flight was futile; inevitably it would bring him face to face with the sea. He was in a picture with a frame of water, and his operations, clearly, must take place within that frame. … Rainsford had dug himself in in France when a second's delay meant death. That had been a placid pastime compared to his digging now. The pit grew deeper; when it was above his shoulders, he climbed out and from some hard saplings cut stakes and sharpened them to a fine point. These stakes he planted in the bottom of the pit with the points sticking up. With flying fingers he wove a rough carpet of weeds and branches and with it he covered the mouth of the pit. Then, wet with sweat and aching with tiredness, he crouched behind the stump of a lightning-charred tree.
