Answer:
I will help! How can I find the poem and is there another way to contact you about it??
Answer:
This writer’s words were enchanted by darkness and got a thrill by the thought of death. Edgar Allan Poe was famous for his dark and savage side of life. Poe lived a secluded and isolated life, which that included the abuse of drugs and alcohol. Born in 1809 to his parents David Poe Jr. and Elizabeth Arnold he was an orphan by the age of three. “Elizabeth died at twenty- four performing in Richmond, Virginia; the evidence suggests that her husband died soon afterward at the age of twenty-seven” (Baym 604).
After his parent’s death he was sent to live with John Allan and his wife Frances. His siblings were sent to other foster homes. Although never officially adopted by the couple they renamed him and raised him as their own. In 1826 Poe attended the University of Virginia where he wrote poetry and was considered a good student, but he couldn’t really afford college. That pushed Poe to great debt and drinking he eventually had to leave the university. A year later he joined the army for two years, afterward he entered WestPoint. After his time served, he went to live with his aunt, Maria Clemm and his wife Virginia who was also his cousin. At that time Poe was able to write for The Southern Literary Messenger.
Poe had quite the collections of his stories from the less common ones to the most famous like “The Raven.” The poem is written in first person you can imagine the man as Poe or a make-believe character. Around the tine Poe was writing this piece his own wife Virginia was dying of tuberculosis, assuming the situation it could be easy to believe the narrator is Poe.
The best mood to describe this piece is “uncanniness”. The word uncanniness is defined as “the quality or state of being impossible to know, understand, or explain.” (Merriam-Webster). Poe gives “The Raven” a sinister atmosphere with his repetition and rhyming. The narrator experience ranges of feelings throughout the poem. In the poem Poe describes Lenore, God, and the raven.
The poem examines a man who is suffering from the loss of his beloved wife Lenore. He tries to distract himself from his sadness through books. The books, however, is little to no help at all. The night becomes a nightmare as it continues. His sanity is destroyed by a single visit from the raven. The raven is the main symbol representing the narrator self-torture he is enduring in the story. The raven can also be viewed as something sinister or supernatural. Or it can be argued that the raven is just an illusion of his imagination which shows he is still grieving over the death of Lenore. Poe informs us with symbolism that the man doesn’t know if the raven is good or evil.
As the man sits in his chambers late at night he was nodding nearly napping. The narrator puts you in perspective that he might be in a subconscious state. When the raven starts to tap on his chamber door, he thinks it’s the spirit or ghost of Lenore. “Ah, distinctly I remember it was in the bleak December, and each separate dying ember wrought its ghost upon the floor.” (Poe 613). When he opens the door, he sees nothing. Suddenly the raven fly’s in and places itself on the top of his chamber door. As he began to talk to the raven, he asks “Tell me what thy lordly name is on the Night’s Plutonian shore!” (Poe 614). Stated in The Norton Anthology American Literature textbook “black, as in the underworld ruled by Pluto in Greek mythology.” (Baym 614) The raven is symbolizing something dark and evil.
The raven does not justify or make clear of his answer “Nevermore” to the narrator. It allows the man to interpret the phrase that is repeated after every question he asks the raven. The outcome of that is the narrator started to lose his mind. Just that one word could symbolize that his wife is dead, and she is never come back and there isn’t anything he could do to change that. Poe mentioned in the poem that God may have sent the raven. “Wretch,” I cried, thy God hath lent thee- by these angels he hath sent thee Respite- respite and Nepenthe from thy memories of Lenore!” (Poe 614). That can be interpreted as God sending company to distract him from his grieving. The narrator also starts to go insane and he screams at the bird as being the devil. “Prophet!” said I, “thing of evil! Prophet still, if bird or devil!”

Which two statements best express themes in the passage?
Self-focus can lead to being conceited.
Photography is an important art form that should be preserved.
Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.
Joy comes from looking back on the past.
Gratitude and family is a key to growth and happines
This question is missing the passage. I've found the complete question online. Since the options are the same, I will omit them.
The Girl in the Picture
I loved to look at the old photographs, especially the ones with me in them. I suppose that was bad of me and proved I was stuck on myself, but I couldn't help it. The pictures with me in them were just more interesting. Every stage of my life was there, snapped by the camera and stamped on a glossy piece of paper. I loved seeing myself at three, standing with my brother, Donald, in front of the house in our matching cowboy and cowgirl outfits, or standing on a chair in front of the kitchen counter, mixing a birthday cake for Mother. The pictures reminded me that I was real, that I always had been real and always would be real, and that I wasn't just some girl someone had made up.
Which two statements best express themes in the passage?
Answer:
The two statements that best express themes in the passage are:
Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.
Joy comes from looking back on the past.
Explanation:
The narrator in the passage clearly derives happiness from looking at the pictures. Photos allow her to remember, to watch herself grow and change. And a sense of worth comes from it, since watching her own history pictured like that makes her realize how true it all is. She is a real person, with a real history. Being able to see that, being reminded of that, makes her happy. Therefore, the two themes expressed in the passage are:
Evidence of a prior time reminds people of their worth in life.
Joy comes from looking back on the past.

2- What is the function of the infinitive phrase in the following sentence:
His favorite power tool to make home improvements is the handsaw.
noun
adjective
adverb
Answer:
Explanation:
Infinitive Phrases
You guessed it. Infinitive phrases include infinitives. So, what is an infinitive? It’s a "to + verb" construct. When “to” is attached to a verb in this manner, it’s no longer working as a preposition. Rather, it becomes part of the verb. Examples include, “to walk,” “to read,” or “to eat.” Infinitives can act as nouns, adjectives, or adverbs.
As a noun, they might act as the subject of the sentence. For example, “To travel is the only thing on her mind.” As an adjective, they’ll modify a noun. For example, “ShuYi always brings a book to read.” As an adverb, they’ll modify verbs, other adjectives, or other adverbs. For example, “Katherine braved the windstorm to search for her lost dog.”

Answer:
Research reveals that environment can increase or reduce our stress, which in turn impacts our bodies. What you are seeing, hearing, experiencing at any moment is changing not only your mood, but how your nervous, endocrine, and immune systems are working.
The stress of an unpleasant environment can cause you to feel anxious, or sad, or helpless. This in turn elevates your blood pressure, heart rate, and muscle tension and suppresses your immune system. A pleasing environment reverses that.
And regardless of age or culture, humans find nature pleasing. In one study cited in the book Healing Gardens, researchers found that more than two-thirds of people choose a natural setting to retreat to when stressed.
Explanation:
Nature heals
Being in nature, or even viewing scenes of nature, reduces anger, fear, and stress and increases pleasant feelings. Exposure to nature not only makes you feel better emotionally, it contributes to your physical wellbeing, reducing blood pressure, heart rate, muscle tension, and the production of stress hormones. It may even reduce mortality, according to scientists such as public health researchers Stamatakis and Mitchell.
Research done in hospitals, offices, and schools has found that even a simple plant in a room can have a significant impact on stress and anxiety.
Nature soothes
In addition, nature helps us cope with pain. Because we are genetically programmed to find trees, plants, water, and other nature elements engrossing, we are absorbed by nature scenes and distracted from our pain and discomfort.
This is nicely demonstrated in a now classic study of patients who underwent gallbladder surgery; half had a view of trees and half had a view of a wall. According to the physician who conducted the study, Robert Ulrich, the patients with the view of trees tolerated pain better, appeared to nurses to have fewer negative effects, and spent less time in a hospital. More recent studies have shown similar results with scenes from nature and plants in hospital rooms.
Nature restores
One of the most intriguing areas of current research is the impact of nature on general wellbeing. In one study in Mind, 95% of those interviewed said their mood improved after spending time outside, changing from depressed, stressed, and anxious to more calm and balanced. Other studies by Ulrich, Kim, and Cervinka show that time in nature or scenes of nature are associated with a positive mood, and psychological wellbeing, meaningfulness, and vitality.
Furthermore, time in nature or viewing nature scenes increases our ability to pay attention. Because humans find nature inherently interesting, we can naturally focus on what we are experiencing out in nature. This also provides a respite for our overactive minds, refreshing us for new tasks.
In another interesting area, Andrea Taylor’s research on children with ADHD shows that time spent in nature increases their attention span later.
Nature connects
According to a series of field studies conducted by Kuo and Coley at the Human-Environment Research Lab, time spent in nature connects us to each other and the larger world. Another study at the University of Illinois suggests that residents in Chicago public housing who had trees and green space around their building reported knowing more people, having stronger feelings of unity with neighbors, being more concerned with helping and supporting each other, and having stronger feelings of belonging than tenants in buildings without trees. In addition to this greater sense of community, they had a reduced risk of street crime, lower levels of violence and aggression between domestic partners, and a better capacity to cope with life’s demands, especially the stresses of living in poverty.
This experience of connection may be explained by studies that used fMRI to measure brain activity. When participants viewed nature scenes, the parts of the brain associated with empathy and love lit up, but when they viewed urban scenes, the parts of the brain associated with fear and anxiety were activated. It appears as though nature inspires feelings that connect us to each other and our environment.
Too much time in front of screens is deadly
“Nature deprivation,” a lack of time in the natural world, largely due to hours spent in front of TV or computer screens, has been associated, unsurprisingly, with depression. More unexpected are studies by Weinstein and others that associate screen time with loss of empathy and lack of altruism.
And the risks are even higher than depression and isolation. In a 2011 study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, time in front of a screen was associated with a higher risk of death, and that was independent of physical activity!

Read the following poem, "Harlem" by Langston Hughes:
What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore—
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over—
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Which best describes the AUTHOR'S PURPOSE for writing this poem?
Question 9 options:
To inform readers about what happens to rotten meat
To explain to readers how easy it is to follow one's dreams
To help readers understand the dangers of achieving one's dreams.
To describe the negative effects of not being able to achieve one's dreams.
Answer:
1. A dream deferred is a wasted opportunity which leaves scars in the individual concerned. This dream when not realized might also result in negative consequences on the society when it explodes.
2. To describe the negative effects of not being able to achieve one's dreams.
Explanation:
The poem, Harlem, written by Langston Hughes in 1951 describes certain things that could happen to a dream not realized due to certain circumstances. The different things that can happen to it are visualizations of decay, rot, a sore, and something stinking. This dream becomes relegated to the background and might soon become extinct.
It is also possible that this dream could explode, perhaps when the individual engages in negative things because of not realizing his dreams.
