A play is fully realized when it is
Detalhes da Resposta
A play is fully realized when it is acted. In other words, a play is brought to life when it is performed by actors on stage, and witnessed by an audience. Acting involves not only memorizing the lines, but also conveying the emotions, intentions, and personalities of the characters through movement, expression, and voice. This transforms the written words into a living, breathing piece of art, and allows the audience to fully engage with the story and the themes it presents. While studying, memorizing, and reading the play are all important steps in the process, it is only through the act of performing that a play is truly realized.

Detalhes da Resposta
The character that opposes the hero in a novel is called the antagonist. The protagonist is the main character who drives the plot forward and is usually the hero of the story.

Pick the odd item from the list below
Detalhes da Resposta
The odd item from the list is "Things fall Apart." The other three items in the list, "Night Rain," "Stanley Meets Mutesa," and "Nightfall in Soweto," are all titles of literary works that refer to a specific time or event. "Night Rain" and "Nightfall in Soweto" both refer to a specific time of day, while "Stanley Meets Mutesa" refers to a specific event. On the other hand, "Things fall Apart" is a title that does not refer to a specific time or event. Rather, it is a more abstract phrase that can be interpreted in many different ways. This makes it different from the other titles, which all have a more concrete reference point. "Things fall Apart" is also the title of a novel by Chinua Achebe, which tells the story of a Nigerian village and its people's struggles to maintain their way of life in the face of colonialism. So not only is it different from the other titles in terms of its abstractness, but it also has a different theme and genre compared to the others, which are more focused on specific times and events.

Detalhes da Resposta
The poem is a blank verse because there is no rhyme. Blank verse is a type of poetry that does not have a rhyme scheme. Instead, it relies on the natural rhythm and meter of the language to create a musical effect. In this poem, there is no consistent pattern of rhyme, and each line has a different number of syllables. This lack of a formal rhyme scheme allows the poem to flow more naturally and to emphasize the beauty and simplicity of the language. Therefore, the correct answer is that the poem is a blank verse because there is no rhyme.

Literature encompasses all forms of written and spoken artistic expression that represent the social, cultural, and political conditions of a particular time and place. Through literature, writers explore themes and ideas that reflect the human experience and address issues of morality, ethics, and social justice.

Detalhes da Resposta
What distinguishes a novel from a play is narration. A novel is a literary work of fiction that is written in prose and tells a story through narration, which is the voice that describes the events, characters, and setting. The narration can be in first-person or third-person, and it allows the reader to see inside the thoughts and feelings of the characters. In contrast, a play is a literary work that is written to be performed on stage by actors. The story is conveyed through dialogue and stage directions, rather than through narration. While characters, setting, and theme can be present in both novels and plays, it is the presence or absence of narration that distinguishes the two forms of literature.

The odd item from the list is "tragedy". This is because tragedy is a type of drama, while the other options - prose, poetry, and drama - are all different forms of literature. Prose refers to written or spoken language in its ordinary form, without any metrical structure. Poetry, on the other hand, is a form of literary expression that uses meter, rhyme, and other literary techniques to create an emotional response in the reader. Drama refers to a form of literature that is meant to be performed, often with dialogue between characters and a plot that unfolds through a series of scenes. Tragedy is a sub-genre of drama that typically involves a serious or tragic ending, often with the death of the protagonist. While it is a type of drama, it is not a distinct form of literature like prose or poetry.

Mood refers to the emotional atmosphere that the poet creates through their words, and it is influenced by their thoughts, feelings, and experiences. A poet's state of mind can range from joyful and optimistic to melancholic and despairing, depending on their personal experiences and the subject matter they are writing about.

'From that day her world collapsed' shows that the woman is
Detalhes da Resposta
The phrase "From that day her world collapsed" suggests that the woman is likely unhappy. The sentence describes the moment when the newly-wed couple announces their plans to go to Africa, and the woman's mother sheds a tear. This is the moment when the woman's world collapses. The use of the phrase "her world collapsed" suggests that something very significant has happened to her, and it is unlikely to be a positive experience. Furthermore, the sentence also suggests that the woman's life has not gone as she had hoped. The fact that she weeps most of the time on board the ship to Africa, and that her temper grows worse over the course of eight years, implies that she is deeply unhappy with her situation. The statement that "a child would have made all the difference in the world" also suggests that she may feel unfulfilled or incomplete without children. Therefore, based on the information provided, it can be inferred that the woman is unhappy.

Detalhes da Resposta
In Africa, she resented him. The passage describes how the protagonist's love for her husband blossomed in England, but upon arriving in Africa, she discovered that he had joined the colonial service and never hinted at this before. Additionally, she wept most of the time on board the M.V Apapa that took them to Africa, which suggests that she was unhappy about the move. As time went on, her temper grew worse, and she became more distant from her husband. The fact that they never had a child also contributed to her unhappiness. All of these details suggest that the protagonist resented her husband in Africa. Therefore, the correct option is "resented him."

Detalhes da Resposta
Beauty in poetry depends mainly on expression and rhythm. Expression refers to the use of vivid and imaginative language that appeals to the reader's senses and emotions, while rhythm refers to the pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in the poem. A well-written poem will use expressive language that creates vivid mental images and elicits strong emotions in the reader. This can be achieved through the use of figurative language, such as metaphors, similes, and personification, as well as through the careful choice of words and phrasing. In addition to expression, the rhythm of a poem plays a critical role in its beauty. A poem with a consistent and pleasing rhythm can create a sense of musicality and harmony, drawing the reader in and enhancing the overall emotional impact of the poem. To summarize, the beauty of poetry depends mainly on the use of expressive language that appeals to the senses and emotions of the reader, as well as on the rhythmic pattern of stressed and unstressed syllables in the poem.

The three major forms of literature are
Detalhes da Resposta
The three major forms of literature are poetry, drama, and prose. Poetry is a form of literature that uses language to evoke emotion and convey ideas through the use of meter, rhyme, and imagery. Drama is a form of literature that is written to be performed on stage and tells a story through dialogue and action. Prose is a form of literature that is written in sentences and paragraphs, with the aim of telling a story or conveying information. These three forms of literature are often considered the major forms because they are the most widely recognized and studied. They have distinct characteristics and are used to convey different types of messages and ideas. For example, poetry is often used to convey emotions and experiences in a condensed and highly expressive form, while drama is used to explore complex human relationships and social issues through the actions and dialogue of characters on stage. Prose is used to convey a wide range of narratives, including fiction, non-fiction, and journalism.

The essential function of a tragedy is to make people think and feel more deeply. Tragedy is a form of drama that presents serious and meaningful events that lead to the downfall of the protagonist. It often explores universal themes such as love, loss, fate, and the human condition, and confronts the audience with the consequences of the character's actions. Through the emotional journey of the story, the audience is forced to reflect on the choices made by the characters and consider their own attitudes and beliefs. Tragedy aims to create a sense of catharsis, or emotional release, in the audience by stirring their emotions and prompting them to reflect on the human experience.

Detalhes da Resposta
The speech above is likely made at an outdooring ceremony. The use of the phrase "Oh, let me give service to my child" suggests that the speaker is a parent or close relative of the child being celebrated. The use of the phrase "my child's brass bowl" further suggests that this is a ceremony involving a young child. The word "nyanya" used in the last sentence is a Nigerian term for pepper or tomato. This suggests that the ceremony is likely taking place in Nigeria or another West African country where the term is commonly used. Moreover, the phrase "it's for you I'm spending my energy" implies that the speaker is putting in a lot of effort into the ceremony, indicating that it is an important occasion. Based on the use of these phrases, it can be inferred that the speech is likely made at an outdooring ceremony, which is a traditional West African ceremony that celebrates the birth of a child and introduces the child to the community.
