Deandra is trying to explain the major effect of the volta in line 9 of this sonnet: when, in disgrace with fortune and men's eyes, i all alone beweep my outcast state, and trouble deaf heaven with my bootless cries, and look upon myself and curse my fate, wishing me like to one more rich in hope, line 5 featured like him, like him with friends possessed, desiring this man's art and that man's scope, with what i most enjoy contented least; yet in these thoughts myself almost despising, haply i think on thee, and then my state, line 10 (like to the lark at break of day arising from sullen earth) sings hymns at heaven's gate; for thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings that then i scorn to change my state with kings. –william shakespeare, “sonnet 29” which of the following explanations should she use? a. the volta signals a change in the rhyme scheme and meter. b. the volta summarizes the ideas introduced in the octave of the sonnet. c. the volta introduces a new idea that indicates a shift in tone from the octave of the sonnet. d. the volta introduces a new speaker who answers the speaker from the octave of the sonnet.

C. The volta introduces a new idea that indicates a shift in tone from the octave of the sonnet.

Explanation:

This is the best explanation of the effect of the volta in this sonnet. The "volta" (Italian for "turn") is a change in thought or argument that takes place towards the end of a sonnet. In this case, most of the sonnet talks about ways in which the speaker feels unfortunate. However, the volta signals a change, as the speaker begins to concentrate in what makes him feel lucky. The reason for his change is the thought of having the love of his beloved.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.

analyze the effectiveness of this excerpt. how does it function within the speech as a whole? how does the structure of the excerpt to convey the speech's purpose and key points? support your argument with evidence from the speech. (10 points)

that is literally a whole assignment and i'm not sure anyone in their right mind or even wrong mind is going to do an entire assignment for someone just for 100 points on a website. sorry to tell you like
