In this excerpt from the poem, what is the connotative meaning of the word cried? venus, when her son was lost, cried him up and down the coast, in hamlets, palaces and parks, and told the truant by his marks,— golden curls, and quiver and bow. this befell how long ago! 1. watched over 2. searched for 3. scolded 4. chased

The meaning of the word cried does not only mean tears. According to the context of the sentence, it can have other meanings. In this case, the answer is option 2. searched for. It means that Venus was looking for her son everywhere as the text says: "she has Cried him up and down the coast".

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

next normal paragraph continues here…

(sorry couldn’t show the fonts in this comment field)

too much?
