01font00A Stanza from "Stopping by woods on a snowy evening02br

02br
01font00He gives his harness bells a shake02font02br
01font00To ask if there is some mistake.02font02br
01font00The only other sound's the sweep02font02br
01font00Of easy wind and downy flake.02font02br
02br

01b00Q. Why does the poet mention these sounds? 01font00(Let me clarify something these sounds are the sounds of easy wind and downy flake, not the sound of harness bells)02font02b02br
02br
01b02b02br
00Ans. The poet mentions the sounds to create an 01b00auditory image02b00, and to provide contrast to the tranquility of the scene. The descriptions of the sounds provide a little insight to his mindset and position. He is so still that he can hear the soft fall of the downy flakes, and the movement of the easy wind. This also shows a great calm and patience that he must possess.02br

01font00Someone has told me the phrase 01b00auditory image02b00 doesn’t sound good. It seems odd, and has suggested me to just use 01b00“He adds an element/dimension of sound.”02b00 I am quite confused, because I encountered the phrase on a well-known site while searching for the poem study notes. I also don’t know how to use the sentence the gentleman suggested in my answer. Could someone please tell me how I should answer the question? I actually want your opinion what would you use if you were to answer the question. And please please write rewrite me a full answer. 02font02br

0 "Auditory image" sounds just fine to me. However, it does not provide a 01i00contrast02i00 to the tranquility of the scene. What could be more transquil than a scene so peaceful you can hear a snowflake? Try 01i00demonstrates02i00 instead. 0-

0No, I'm sorry. This is not my assignment. I'm glad you find our input helpful, but in the end, it cannot be our ideas, words, and sentences that you use, but your own. Why don't you try to rewrite it, leaving out 01i00contrasts02i00 and trying it with 01i00demonstrates02i00.0-
