A first-person narrator tells of a child's feelings by using the language of adults. C. A third-person narrator relates events that involved other characters long ago. D. A first-person narrator comments upon the thoughts of several main characters.

The statement which is true of the narration in "Araby" is:

B. A first-person narrator tells of a child's feelings by using the language of adults.

Explanation:

Published in 1914, "Araby" is a short story by author James Joyce. We can easily eliminate options A and C because the story is narrated from a first-person perspective.

The narrator is a young boy who falls in love for the first time in his life. He is infatuated by the beauty of his friend's sister, and the story revolves around his perception of how this feeling is nothing but an illusion. Although the narrator is the young boy, the language he uses is of adults. He focuses on his own feelings and thoughts, not commenting on the thoughts of several characters. Therefore, the best option is letter B.

wordsworth tends to see nature as 'out there'; a presence which surrounds humans, and contributes to human life, but is different from humans. if you look at a typical wordsworth poem (there was a boy, ye knew him well ye rocks) - wordsworth talks about nature as something that needs to be learned about and understood, nature is different from us.  

if you look at a byron poem (the isles of greece is a good one) - byron looks at nature mainly for what it already means to man. wordsworth will look at a landscape and see the mountains, trees, valleys, and rivers as almost spiritual presences - wordsworth wants to get to know nature.  

byron will look at the same landscape and he will want to know who lives there, what are the villages? are there any farms or mines, is there some history?  

wordsworth looks at nature for what it is; byron is forever asking what it means.  

wordsworth thinks that humans are part of nature; byron thinks that nature is part of being human
