    ¿Alguien puede corregir esto parrafo? (2) La retórica que emplea Pardo Bazán incluye mucho lenguaje figurado que refuerza el tema de la dicotomía entre los sexos. El cuento comienza con la imagen de Ildara—una bellísima, joven chica—en contraste a tío Clodio, un viejo que es sucio y descuidado. El narrador que crea Pardo Bazán es indigno de confianza: toma el parte de Ildara, como hecho evidente por las descripciones de los dos. Mientras Ildara tiene una “cara redonda, bonita, de facciones pequeñas, de boca apetecible, de pupilas claras, golosas de vivir” (25-26), tío Clodio tiene dedos manchados y “dos hoyos como sumideros” en los carrillos (11). Estas diferencias son claramente indicativas que Pardo Bazán es comprensiva a la causa de la mujer.

    ¿Alguien puede corregir esto parrafo? El siglo diecinueve en España era caracterizada por la opresión de las mujeres, en un tiempo mucho antes existiría el feminismo en cualquier forma. En su cuento “Las medias rojas,” Emilia Pardo Bazán crea un paralelo entre la violencia literal y figurativa que sufrían las mujeres de la época. Construye una crítica social con respecto a la opresión de las mujeres mediante el empleo de la retórica y los símbolos—en particular, el color de rojo. Así, Pardo Bazán infusa en el cuento la importancia de la esperanza y los sueños: en esto caso, el sueño por todo tipo de libertad.

    ¿Cómo estilizar los títulos de cuentos cortos? Por ejemplo, ¿debe ser «Las medias rojas» o Las medias rojas en letra itálica?

    In this context, "at this moment" means the same as "to this moment." The "moment" basically serves as a time and a place; a setting, if you will. "You were brought" is correct, but you are also correct in noting that "you have been brought" would also be appropriate. The first form is slightly more direct--it's a matter of the author's preference.

    Don't think of it as memorizing, think of it as learning :) The key to fluency in any language is practice, and once you use the word enough times in conversation, it will stick in your mind. Maybe you are trying to memorize words that you don't commonly use in conversation. Steer away from trying to cram in lists of words, and try practicing a casual conversation with a native speaker. During the conversation, write down all the words that you would like to use to express yourself properly, but don't know. Try to learn those, and the next time you have a conversation, the same words will flow out much more easily!

    Actually, "I" is the subject. This sentence is inverted, so it's a little hard to make head or tail of it if English is not your first language! Mentally, you can change the structure of the first part to "This elm I mention to show..." to "I mention this elm to show." The meaning is exactly the same, but sometimes in older or more formal texts, the words are switched around. The "elm" is the object of the sentence, and the predicate is "mention." Remember "I" is the subject doing the action: mentioning. Action is being done on the object, the "elm."

    One is passive and one is active. The first one is the active one--it emphasizes that the action has been done by the subject (the teacher). The second one is passive and emphasizes the object (the homework). The sentences mean exactly the same thing, but you can choose which one is more appropriate based on context.

    The first sentence should read something like, "Try this if you can't get it off by blinking." "Let it go" wouldn't be used here. The second sentence is correct! You can also say "out" instead of "off." Both versions of the third sentence are correct as well, but "work" is much less formal and would be used more often than "free it."

    Arbitrary basically means that something is random, left up to chance, rather than selected based on a defined system. I do think that onomatopoeia is an indicator that certain words that represent sounds were NOT created arbitrarily, i.e. were not created by chance. An example of an arbitrary selection would be me picking out foods to eat on a whim, instead of selecting them based on their healthiness or taste.
