Read the stanza from the poem. "Poor restless dove, I pity thee; And when I hear thy plaintive moan, I mourn for thy captivity, And in thy woes forget mine own." What is the main way the stanza contributes to the meaning of the poem

The first stanza brings the main focus of the whole poem, presenting us with the sad image of the captive bird.

Explanation:

The poem "The Captive Dove" by Anne Bronte talks about a captive dove in the speaker's room. She narrates how she felt about the imprisoned dove, an animal more associated with peace.

The given lines are from the very first stanza of the poem where the poet addressed the caged animal directly. The speaker, while observing the bird "flap those useless wings", feels pity for bird. She admits that she was engrossed in the bird that she forgot her own woes. Suggesting that only if the dove had "one gentle mate / Thy little drooping heart to cheer,/ And share with thee thy captive state", then it would be happy to be in the cage. But "poor solitary dove" had to "joyless moan [and] pine, neglected, and alone".

The first stanza brings the very sad situation of the bird to the fore, captivating us with the image of the bird helplessly flying around in the small space of its cage. It allows the readers to get the main idea of what the poem will be about. By laying emphasis on the captive state of the bird which is sad enough to make the speaker forget her own woes, the first stanza brings a great impact on the condition/ situation of the caged bird.

this is the answer , p = 1 + (1/10)x

step-by-step explanation:

we have,

at sea level pressure is 1 atmosphere (i.e at x =0, p0=1 atmosphere)

at depth 23 meters , pressure = 3.3 atmosphere

since the pressure increases at constant rate as the depth increases, so we can write a relation as:

p =p0 +   kx   , where p is the pressure  , p0 is the initial pressure, x is the depth and k is constant rate of increasing.

to find constant rate k, plug p = 3.3 , p0 = 1 and x= 23 meters

we get,

  3.3 = 1 + k * 23

k = 2.3 / 23   = 1/10

so we can write the function formula as:   p = 1 + (1/10)x

in ray bradbury's short story "a sound of thunder", mr. eckels's fearfulness leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.

in the story, mr. eckels, who is a hunter, hires a time travel company to travel to the age of dinosaurs. although he is excited for the hunting expedition at the beginning, when they reach there and mr. eckels sees the tyrannosaurus, he feels frightened. as he is afraid of the tyrannosaurus, he steps off the path although he has been warned not to do it. by stepping off the path, the entire course of the future is affected: mr. eckart alters the future by stepping on a butterfly, which causes a new man to be elected president in the future. in that way, it is mr. eckart's fearfulness what triggers 'the butterfly effect' and what leads to drastic consequences for the rest of the world.
