Answer from: shealynh52

Your question is missing the necessary excerpt to be answered. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Aunt Imogen was coming, and therefore

The children—Jane, Sylvester, and Young George—

Were eyes and ears; for there was only one

Aunt Imogen to them in the whole world,

And she was in it only for four weeks

In fifty-two. But those great bites of time

Made all September a Queen’s Festival;

In line 6 of the excerpt, what it the significance of the word bite?

It suggests that the visit is just a brief sample of a pleasant life.

It implies that the visit will have a painful and stinging effect.

It implies that the children are only grudgingly willing to participate in their aunt’s visit.

It suggests that time is something to be consumed and enjoyed.

The significance of the word "bite" in line 6 is:

D) It suggests that time is something to be consumed and enjoyed.

Explanation:

In Edwin Arlington Robinson's poem "Aunt Imogen", the character that bears the same name is absolutely adored by her nephews and niece, whom she visits once a year. The children see her as a unique, charming person. She comes, however, to spend very little time - only four weeks. Therefore, they must enjoy every single moment they have with her. I believe the author uses the word bite to express precisely that. When eating our favorite food, we take "great bites". We consume it fast, yet joyfully. The same goes for the time the children and the aunt spend together. They completely and cheerfully consume the "great bites of time".

Read the excerpt from "home front diary." jimmy simmons stopped by today to tell me that he had enlisted in the army. he asked me if i would write to him, and i said i would. i told him that i've been writing to my uncle arthur and susan's cousin john for about a year, and as an experienced correspondent i had some advice about all the censorship. "don't write down any information about your location or the number of soldiers in your unit because the censors will cut all of that away," i said. "in my experience, loose lips not only sink ships, they make letters look like snowflake decorations! ” well, he belly laughed over that one. how is the author's perspective different from jimmy's? the author has been to war and she can give jimmy advice. jimmy has become a soldier and does not believe the author’s advice. the author has experience writing to soldiers but jimmy does not. jimmy has more experience at letter writing than the author.

Examine the imagery in these lines of the poem "the legend" by garrett hongo. he is asian, thai or vietnamese, and very skinny, dressed as one of the poor in rumpled suit pants and a plaid mackinaw, dingy and too large. he negotiates the slick of ice on the sidewalk by his car, opens the fairlane's back door, leans to place the laundry in, and turns, for an instant, toward the flurry of footsteps and cries of pedestrians as a boy—that's all he was— backs from the corner package store shooting a pistol, firing it, once, at the dumbfounded man who falls forward, grabbing at his chest. how does the imagery in these lines affect the reader’s experience of the poem? check all that apply. it creates a visual picture of the man. it conveys what the scene sounds like. it describes the actions of the boy. it reveals the poet’s opinion of the characters. it encourages readers to care for the characters. it shows the resolution of a conflict. it explains the reasons for the event.
