I need help analyzing the poem 'Man Listening to Disc' by billy Collins please include as much detail as possible focusing on diction syntax figurative language and contemporary trends?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In Billy Collins' poem "Man Listening to Disc," the diction is simple and conversational, reflecting the everyday experience of listening to music. The syntax is also straightforward and mirrors the fluidity of music. Figurative language is minimal, but there is a sense of nostalgia and reflection in the speaker's contemplation of his past self. The poem's focus on a man's intimate experience with music aligns with contemporary trends that emphasize the personal connection individuals have with art and technology.

Why is Canada west of the international date line?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Canada is located west of the International Date Line because the line generally follows the 180° meridian of longitude. The International Date Line was established to separate two consecutive calendar dates, and it generally runs between Russia and Alaska in the Bering Strait. Canada is located to the west of this line within the Pacific and Arctic oceans.

Where is Fiji in relation to international date line?

Asked by Wiki User

The islands of Fiji are on both sides the Anti-meridian (-180 and +180 longitude) but the International Date Line (IDL) is bent to give uniform time (UTC+12) to all of the Fiji group.

This makes Fiji a very interesting region to map makers.

Does Alaska cross the international date line?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, the Alaskan Aleutian Islands cross the International Dateline. On a map or globe it does not because the "International Dateline" kind of zig zags. This is only done on maps and globes so it would not go through any country. In reality the International Dateline is 180W/180E.

Asked by Wiki User

The International Date Line is an imaginary line of longitude which divides Earth into two days. Crossing the International Date Line east results in a day subtracted and crossing it west results in a day added. This is where the calendar day resets.

If you travel across the international date line you lose day?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

When traveling from west to east then yes, you lose a day. But,

when travelling from east to west you gain a day.

Example: American Samoa is east of the dateline and independent Samoa is west of the dateline, although there is only about 60 nautical miles between the islands. So Wednesday in American Samoa is Thursday in independent Samoa.

What country is closest to the international date line?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

In the Bering Strait, there are a pair of small islands ... "Big Diomede" and "Little Diomede".

Big Diomede belongs to Russia. Little Diomede belongs to the USA (Alaska).

The solid land parts of their coasts come within about 2.4 miles of each other, and they're often
joined by a solid ice bridge for much of the year.

The International Dateline runs between the islands.

So you have two places that are about 2.4 miles apart. People could stand there and flash
mirrors at each other on a clear day, or flashlights on a clear night, and maybe even drive
snowmobiles across the ice during the winter. One of the places is in Russia, the other one
is in the USA, and it's never the same date, time, or day of the week at both places.

What country actually moved the international date line?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The International Dateline (IDL) zigzags east or west around some territories and island groups.

Two notable deviations of the IDL are due to United States and Russia. The northern-most deviation is east of Wrangel Island and the Chukchi Peninsula, which is the easternmost part of Russian Siberia.Next it deviates west around the US Aleutian Islands to keep it on the same calendar day as the rest of the US.
