Thank you We sneak in and here's your shmoop du

00:04

jour brought to you by the beauty of nature Because

00:08

who wants to think about the ugly of nature just

00:11

doesn't make any sense are checking the following passage the

00:13

lake isle of innisfree by yates warner brothers yates no

00:18

that's not what the w b stands for is not

00:20

that jumping frog Okay here we go The author uses

00:23

the phrase midnight's all a glimmer and noona purple glow

00:28

for what purpose It's online seven and hear the potential

00:31

answers to illustrate All right so what's yates up tio

00:37

with his line well per usual there's no evidence in

00:39

the poem to support deep so let's get that one

00:42

out our hair right there The mention of the isles

00:45

funky lighting does nothing to get across the idea that

00:49

the days are longer which is good because nobody cares

00:53

if they are or aren't choice b doesn't make the

00:55

grade either even though the line does talk about the

00:58

contrast between day and night it industry there's a bigger

01:01

picture here that this option doesn't grasp the same thing

01:04

goes for option c the line does help paint the

01:07

picture of industries dramatic landscapes and colors but big look

01:11

01:14

almost always have a deeper purpose there just so so

01:17

poetic Yeah joyce is the correct answer The pole mentions

01:22

the colors of night and day to show that the

01:24

speaker finds peace in the simple beauty of industry poets

01:28

who are worth their salt Don't waste words or give

01:31

details without a deeper purpose or meaning Basically they're not

01:35

like that annoying friend who rattles on and on about

01:38

something while our mind wanders onto the weirdness of angler

01:41

fish or the disturbing deliciousness of chicken mcnuggets Yeah you 00:01:46.332 --> [endTime] think about that
