Life Is Fine

I went down to the river,
I set down on the bank.
I tried to think but couldn't,
So I jumped in and sank.

I came up once and hollered!
I came up twice and cried!
If that water hadn't a-been so cold
I might've sunk and died.

But it was Cold in that water! It was cold!

I took the elevator
Sixteen floors above the ground.
I thought about my baby
And thought I would jump down.

I stood there and I hollered!
I stood there and I cried!
If it hadn't a-been so high
I might've jumped and died.

But it was High up there! It was high!

So since I'm still here livin',
I guess I will live on.
I could've died for love--
But for livin' I was born

Though you may hear me holler,
And you may see me cry--
I'll be dogged, sweet baby,
If you gonna see me die.

Life is fine! Fine as wine! Life is fine!

- Langston Hughes

Lesson Review

Your answers should be 5-7 sentences in length.

1. What is the exposition in this poem?

2. Why do you suppose the speaker sank to the bottom, instead of swimming to the top?

3. What is the rising action in this poem? What makes this the rising action?

4. What is the climax in this poem? Why do you believe this is the climax? Are there any other possibilities?

5. What is the falling action in the poem? Why do you suppose it is the falling action?

6. What is the denouement in the poem? Do you think the speaker was happy to be alive? Why or why not?

I have to do this assignment until Thursday morning. I have to use Prolog.

Note: "Word-tuple" is a 3-tuple of the form "(word,POS,sense_number)"

Note: "Synset" is the list of word-tuples of a synset.

 

  1. Define a predicate offset_to_synset(+Offset,?Synset) that succeeds if Synset is the list of all the word-tuples of Offset. (Tip: use findall/3.)
  2. Define a predicate wordTuple_to_offset(?WordTuple,?Offset) that succeeds if WordTuple belongs to the synset with offset Offset.
  3. Define a predicate wordTuple_to_synset(+WordTuple,?Synset) that succeeds if WordTuple belongs to Synset. Look up a few words using your new predicate.
  4. Define a predicate wordTuple_to_gloss(+WordTuple,-Gloss) that succeeds is Gloss is the gloss that corresponds to WordTuple. Look up a few words using your new predicate.
  5. Define a predicate synonymous(?WordTuple1,?WordTuple2) that succeeds if WordTuple1 and WordTuple2 are distinct and synonymous word-tuples.
  6. Define a predicate polysemous(?Word) that succeeds if Word is a polysemous word.
  7. Compute the number of polysemous words in WordNet. (Tip: use a combination of findall/3, list_to_set/2 and length/2.)
  8. Define a predicate meronym(?Offset1,?Offset2) that succeeds if Offset2 is a meronym of Offset1 (note that the predicates for the three different kinds of meronyms are spread out over three files).
  9. Define a predicate hyponym(?Offset1,?Offset2) that succeeds if Offset1 is a direct hyponym of Offset2.
  10. Define a predicate coordinate(?Offset1,?Offset2) that succeeds if Offset1 and Offset2 have the same hypernym.
  11. Hypernymy is a transitive relation. Define a predicate trans_hypernym(?Offset1,?Offset2) which computes this relation.
  12. Define a predicate trans_hypernym_path(?Offset1,?Offset2,?Path) that succeeds if Path is is a list of offsets leading from Offset1 to Offset2.
