Raleigh describes _ in "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd" using personification.

Here is my answer to the first one. I'm a little new to figurative language so sorry if I use something that isn't actually figurative language. Its 150 words.

Figurative language is used almost all throughout the poem The Passionate Shepard to His Love and the reply to this poem The Nymph's Reply to the Shepard uses Figurative Language as well. However, they each use different types of figurative language. In the first poem  The Passionate Shepard to His love we see Figurative Language like Symbolism when he describes the roses as being love and desire and then he refers to the country as peace or in a way a never-ending hope. We can also see how in The Passionate Shepard to His Love uses Metaphor as well when he says that birds sing Madrigals this is comparing what birds sing to actual poems that are in music. However, in The Nymph's Reply to the Shepard, we can see that he uses a lot of imagery when he talks about the state of decay and how everything is going to die eventually.

On his poem, the Shepherd offers the Nymph a lot of things to try and convince her to love him and live together. The response of the Nymph is to tell him that everything he offers is just temporary and she is timeless, so she won't fall in love with him because it wouldn't work out.

On Raleight's poem, there's a part that says:

Thy gowns, thy shoes, thy beds of roses,

Thy cap, thy kirtle and thy posies,

Soon break, soon wither, soon forgotten

In folly ripe, in reason rotten

Here, the Nymph describes how with the passing of time all the gifts he offers to her become broken, rotten and/or forgotten. I think the Nymph rejects him badly but in the end, the Shepherd would be happier with a woman who is mortal like he is, and shares his view of love and life.

mixed emotions toward love in the poem by describing the nymph's attitude using such terms as a. cynical, disbelieving, and guarded. b. amused, wishful. Students could include points similar to the following: a. In the first stanza, the nymph makes a disparaging remark about the truthfulness of shepherds. b. The nymph uses organic images to tell the shepherd the gifts he offers are foolish, unreasonable, and short-lived. c. In the final stanza of the poem, the nymph indicates that she will remain unbending so long as the world is the way it is. d. In the final stanza, she also reveals a more generous attitude in saying that if things were otherwise, she might have been happy to accept the shepherd's offer. In addition, students could describe the nymph's attitude toward the future as discouraging or serious because a. the images in stanzas 2-5 are all associated with withering, dying, fading, and so on. b. she offers little reason for refusing the shepherd's offer other than that the passage of time discourages dalliance and foolishness.
