From the rippulous pond came the comfortable sound of the humming-fish humming while splashing around. source: dr. seuss. the lorax. new york: random house, 1971. google books. web. 18 may 2011. how does the diction affect the imagery in the poem? the adjective “comfortable” the reader “see” the fish. the verb “splashing” the reader “touch” the pond. the noun “pond” the reader “taste” the fish. the noun “rippulous” the reader “hear” the pond.

The adjective "rippulous" helps the reader to "listen" to the pond.

Explanation:

Imagery is a literary technique, where the author uses a word that from depth to text and stimulates the reader's senses. In this text, the word responsible for this is the adjective "rippulous" that stimulates the reader's hearing so that the reader can "hear" the sound of the pond described in the text by reading.

explanation:

you only need simple sentences to answer this. just answer these questions.

what do you think annie thinks of the mother? do you think annie believes the mother is a fit mother for helen.

what about the father? what would annie think of him? she might not like him, but does she respect him.

how about the son? would annie think he is the only voice of sanity in an insane place?

what about helen herself? this is the key question. how does she see helen? what do you suppose she thought her first job was going to be.

these aren't hard questions. just state the obvious. annie is not that well educated: she just knows what she has to do. write it that way.

you can do it if you've read the book or seen the play or movie.
