Read the excerpt from chapter 23 of The Awakening. When Doctor Mandelet dined with the Pontelliers on Thursday he could discern in Mrs. Pontellier no trace of
that morbid condition which her husband had reported to him. She was excited and in a manner radiant. She and
her father had been to the race course, and their thoughts when they seated themselves at table were still
occupied with the events of the afternoon, and their talk was still of the track.
Which statement best describes the point of view in the excerpt?
O The first-person point of view is an omniscient observer.
O The third-person point of view is an omniscient observer.
O The first-person point of view is voiced by the subjective Edna Pontellier.
O The third-person point of view is voiced by the objective Doctor Mandelet.

the correct answer is d. a discussion of specific uses of alliteration

.

when you are critiquing or evaluating a poem, you will mostly pay attention to the theme, as well as figures of speech and rhythm. alliteration is a figure of speech where consonants are repeated in neighboring words - and it is important for analysis of sound and rhythm, which is why it might appear in the evaluation of that poem.

first of all the mood needs to be defined: it is obviously a mood of deceitful relief and serenity. why? because the cape horn is one of the most violent maritime regions of earth and although it has been left behind, it is a personification of ahab’s delirium and the fact that the end of the passage speaks about it about being “hidden” but “raving” immediately conveys the feeling the calm is not permanent but fleeting.

furthermore, the oxymoron “mild stun'sails” is the first instance of such feeling as the adjective “mild” is associated with “stunned” underscoring the fleeting nature of this “tranquil” moment. and the contrasts keep piling up, with the opposition between “dark den” and “blessed light and air” to end with the final conclusion that leaves the reader with the uneasy knowledge that this is just a reprieve.

sorry but can you explain the question because i didn’t understand it

which words are in bold?
