Did anybody find a decent way to study for the 17th century poetry test? Putting names with poems and at the same time knowing which poems have which names is just a bit of a struggle for me. If anybody has a good system let me know. :O)
Its probably best to study which poets wrote which poems and memorize their names...its basically all memorization..and thats basically all i did for the test. I went through the 17th century packet a ton of times and just memorized it. You should try writing out the poet and the names of the poets of they wrote and what the poets were about.
well jimmy i made note cards with the author and then the bio and had a card for each peom they wrote with a short anaylsis. if u do like one author per day you should be alright for the test
1. To what location does the title refer? 2. Who does the narrator address directly at the opening of the poem? 3. How does the form and manner of that address indicate the type of poem? 4. What does Milton (as narrative voice) declare to be his purpose?
by the way, these questions are from the paradise lost quiz lines 1-26
Ok next one. 1. Puritans and Anglicans 2. P= Parlimentarians A= Monarchists 3. Cromwell 4. uhhhh ??? 5. The Gunpowder Plot was the plot to blow up the Parliment building, the Puritans were blamed ( i think, either them or the Christians)
Lu, the qoute of "I may assert Eternal Providence and justify the ways of gods to men." I took this qoute as Miltonstating his purpose for paradise lost, and the purpose is to justify the ways of God to men. It serves to justify the things that God has done and why he has done it. He wants to explain why God has done the things he has done.
Which Civil War? (From Wiki) First: In the remains of his English realm Charles attempted to recover a stable base of support by consolidating the Midlands. He began to form an axis between Oxford and Newark on Trent in Nottinghamshire. Those towns had become fortresses and showed more reliable loyalty to him than to others. He took Leicester, which lies between them, but found his resources exhausted. Having little opportunity to replenish them, in May 1646 he sought shelter with a Scottish army at Southwell in Nottinghamshire. This marked the end of the First English Civil War.
Second: The battle took place largely at Walton-le-Dale near Preston in Lancashire, and resulted in a victory by the troops of Cromwell over the Royalists and Scots commanded by Hamilton. This Parliamentarian victory marked the end of the Second English Civil War.
can someone help me out with the meaning of a maque and how they are differt from an ordinary play? One other thing im having trouble review for Henry Vaughns The Retreat and a summary of it? Any help thanks
on the 17th century test, front page number 15, short paragraph response: how is the poetry of the Jacobean Era significantly different from the poetry of the Elizabethan Era?
Quote 6 on the test, time will not be ours forever; he at length our gifts wil sever. Spend not then his gifts in vain; Suns that set may rise again, But if once we lost this light Tis, with us, perpetual night.

Lu, the qoute of "I may assert Eternal Providence

A careless shoestring, in whose tie
I see a wild civility:
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

Spend not then his gifts in vain;
