D) Narrative writing proves a claim.

Answers

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Answer:

C) It recounts a experience

Explanation:

The idea of narrative wrriting is tellling a story telling a past experience or some even that happened, non fiction or fiction

Now that you have finished reading the works in this unit, consider the ideals, values, and themes that early American writers considered to be important and worthy of inclusion in their journals, sermons, and poems. What are these ideals and values? Why were they important? How do different writers incorporate them into their works? Did certain values or ideals seem to become more or less important over time? If so, why? Cite specific examples from the writings of Bradford, Winthrop, Bradstreet, and Edwards in your response

Answers

Answer:

American Writers revolved their life and work around God. They had so much respect for God and wanted the people to respect and adore God as they did. Over time? As of today, in my opinion, people still have a respect for God but not many people adore him like the American Writers did. Why? People have grown to become a lot more uncertain about things they once believed. Which is totally okay because any normal person will question life as they have the rights to do so. In 'A Model of Christian Charity' by John Winthrop,  Winthrop writes about how important it is to include God in their lives. In 'Sinners in the Hands of God' by Jonathan Edwards, Edwards writes about how you would be punished by God if you sinned against him and/or didn't believe in him.

PLEASE HELP ASAP In approximately 100 words, explain how form impacts meaning in the poem "Cloud." by Sandra Cisneros

Answers

Answer:

"Nature is a mutable cloud which is always and never the same." -Ralph Waldo Emerson

The poem “The Cloud” by Percy Bysshe Shelley is a lyric, written in anapestic meter, alternating in line lengths between tetrameter and trimeter. In “The Cloud,” Shelly invokes the idea of a cloud as an entity narrating her existence in various aspects. Told in 6 stanzas, Shelley has this cloud tell a unique perspective on what she is in each one.

In the first stanza, we come to understand the cloud in terms of her functions in the cycle of nature, in regards to the cycle of water and the cycle of plant life. The cloud brings water to nourish the plants and vegetation in the form of rain, which is created from the evaporated water of bodies of water. The cloud acts as shelter for the same vegetation from the sweltering heat of the Sun during its hottest hours. The moisture provided by the cloud also serves to awaken budding flowers so they may open to absorb the Sun’s rays. Finally, the cloud also serves reignite the life of plants after they have died, as hail threshes the plants (Lynch 832, note 1), and washes the grain back into the soil, starting the plant cycle over.

The second stanza describes the cloud as serene, and indifferent to what goes on beneath her, while simultaneously describing her as a vessel for disruption and unrest. As the cloud blasts trees with snow and wind, disturbing the mountaintops and rooted trees, she sleeps peacefully and unbothered. The cloud is harboring her counterpart, lightning, who, unlike the cloud, is erratic and restless. Lightning guides the cloud across the sky to find lightning’s opposite charge, where her discharges as bolts of lightning and claps of thunder, all the while the cloud sits placid and unaffected by lightning’s energy.

The third stanza portrays how the cloud accompanies the Sun from dawn till dusk. As the Sun rises, he joins the cloud to orbit across the sky, now that night is gone and the stars have disappeared. The Sun is compared to an eagle that rests on a mountain peak during an earthquake, joining the mountain for a short time in its movement. The Sun sets and leaves the sky with the pink-hue of sunset, and the cloud is left to wait until his return.

The fourth stanza depictures the movement of the Moon over the cloud. The Moon is described as being alit by the Sun’s rays, and she is seen gliding across the thin cloud scattered by the “midnight breezes” (Shelley 48). Gaps in the cloud line are attributed to minor disturbances by the moon. These gaps reveal the stars that are quickly hidden away by the shifting cloud. The Moon is then reflected in bodies of water as the cloud opens up to reveal her.

The fifth stanza describes the restrictions the cloud imposes on both the Sun and Moon, guarding the lands and seas. The cloud is pictured as a belt around both the Sun and Moon, limiting their ability to affect the earth. The Moon is veiled by the cloud, who is spread across the sky by winds, and objects below become less visible and the stars disappear from view. The cloud covers the sea and protects it from the Sun’s heat, supported at such a height by the mountains. The cloud is pushed through a rainbow, propelled by the forces of the wind. The rainbow is described as originating from the light of the Sun passing through, created by light’s reflection.

The sixth and final stanza narrates the origin of the cloud, and her continuously changing form through her unending cycle of death and rebirth. The cloud originates from bodies of water and the moisture found in within the earth and its inhabitants. She is composed through the Sun’s intervention, who’s heat evaporates the water and moisture. Although the cloud is emptied from the sky as rain, and the sky is bright from the Sun’s rays, the cloud is continuously recreated and undone in a never ending cycle

And the badgers roll at ease,

And the swish of a skirt in the dew,

Steadily cantering through

The misty solitudes,..."

Fourteen-year-old Steve Gomez has been working on woodworking projects since he was ten years old, and he is now junior president of the local Woodworking Association. Steve has created many beautiful pieces out of wood, and the local craft center has exhibited some of them. In fact, many of his pieces have also been sold for charity. Woodworking has helped Steve believe in himself. He is a good example of teenagers getting involved in a constructive and lucrative hobby.

What is the meaning of Friends?

Someone who truly cares for you will defend you. Friends will go above and above to protect you when someone tries to harm you mentally or physically.

For the majority of us, a friend is someone with whom we identify and who supports us in some manner. A buddy is frequently someone with whom you have a connection. Friends are frequently people you trust and enjoy being with, and you may share some similar opinions and values with them.

A close buddy is truthful, sincere, and talks from the heart. Instead of talking about you behind your back, they tell you what you need to hear in a way that you can understand. Having a reliable friend means that you can confide in them with all of your vulnerabilities, fears, and eccentricities.
