Question 4:

Very Hard

Imagine you are analyzing a poem and come across the verses: 'One day, I felt whole, / When, with myself, I conversed'. Considering that the personal pronouns 'I' and 'myself' and the numeral 'one' are fundamental for the expression of the poetic subject and for the construction of the text's meaning, explain how changing the numeral 'one' to 'two' and the pronouns 'I' and 'myself' to 'you' and 'oneself' would modify the impact and interpretation of the verses, taking into account the poetic context and the relationships established with the speaker.

Question 5:

Very Hard

In this excerpt from a poem, the personal pronouns 'eu' (I) and 'tu' (you) are used to establish the relationship between the subjects and the verb, indicating that the action of 'viveremos' (we will live) will be carried out by both. Furthermore, the pronouns 'eu' and 'tu' express the subjectivity and individuality of the subjects, intensifying the personal nature of the relationship. The numerals 'um' (one) and 'dois' (two) are employed to quantify the action of living happiness together, indicating a unity and duality that complement each other. The function of 'um' is to introduce an idea of singularity, while 'dois' reinforces the idea of partnership and sharing. The alteration of the order of the personal pronouns 'eu' and 'tu' would profoundly affect the meaning of the poem, as the structure of language and Western culture attribute to 'eu' the proximity to the message sender and to 'tu' the distance. In the original form, the poem suggests a relationship of equality and partnership, where both live the same happiness and love each other reciprocally. If the order were changed to 'tu e eu' (you and I), there would be a break in symmetry, possibly indicating that happiness and love are more centered on one of the subjects, altering the balance and reciprocity of the relationship, which contradicts the context of eternal and shared love.
