Read the poem “roses,” by george eliot.

you love the roses—so do i. i wish
the sky would rain down roses, as they rain
from off the shaken bush. why will it not?
then all the valley would be pink and white
and soft to tread on. they would fall as light
as feathers, smelling sweet; and it would be
like sleeping and like waking, all at once!

what is the main style difference between “roses” and "night"?
a.“roses” uses iambic pentameter.
b.“roses” uses a more modern form.
c.“night” uses a rhyme scheme.
d.“night” uses trochaic pentameter.

the night has cut
each from each
and curled the petals
back from the stalk
and under it in crisp rows;

under at an unfaltering pace,
under till the rinds break,
back till each bent leaf
is parted from its stalk;

under at a grave pace,
under till the leaves
are bent back
till they drop upon earth,
back till they are all broken.

o night,
you take the petals
of the roses in your hand,
but leave the stark core
of the rose
to perish on the branch.

Item 7 shakespeare often puts the audience in a situation where they know more than one of the characters does. how does shakespeare increase the tension in the four-lovers story line by giving the audience information that one or more of the characters does not have? the audience knows that hermia’s father really approves of lysander and there is no need for hermia and lysander to run away. this knowledge builds tension because the audience wonders if hermia and lysander’s relationship will survive a night in the woods. the audience knows that helena really hates hermia and wants to hurt her. this knowledge builds tension when helena tells demetrius of hermia’s plan to run away because the audience wonders if hermia will be caught and punished. the audience knows that lysander and demetrius are under the spell, but helena and hermia do not. this knowledge builds tension and makes the audience eager to see what will happen next. the audience knows that oberon is observing the lovers, but the lovers do not know. this knowledge builds tension because oberon falls in love with helena and decides to become a human so he can marry her.
