Read the excerpt from The Odyssey. Now Zeus the lord of cloud roused in the north a storm against the ships, and driving veils o

f squall moved down like night on land and sea. The bows went plunging at the gust; sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.

Answer:

Gary Soto includes the imagery of Alfonso's thumb in the passage to show that he is bothered by getting his hands dirty.

Explanation:

The author describes Alfonso's thumb as wrinkled, tired, and pinkish, illustrating his aversion to dirtiness. The comparison indicates that his thumbs resemble a person who has soaked for too long in a bathtub, leading us to conclude that the imagery emphasizes his dislike for mess.

Write a paragraph comparing and contrasting the central ideas of "Sonnet 75" by Edmund Spenser and "Sonnet 71” by William Shakes
Naddika [7460]
Both poems reflect the theme of love directed towards another; Spenser expresses that his love will endure beyond the world, while Shakespeare conveys a desire to be forgotten to spare his love any potential sorrow.

Spenser aims to eternalize his love, even though nature erases his expressions—a notion that could indicate folly. However, the final couplet indicates that nothing is permanent, except for their love.

In contrast, Shakespeare's approach is slightly more somber; he implores his love to not mourn him after he passes. He values the subject of his poem so much that he'd prefer to be forgotten rather than bring them pain. The concluding couplet reinforces this idea by suggesting he wants to prevent his love from facing ridicule due to his grief.

Ultimately, both poems address love and time, albeit with differing perspectives.
