I need a deep, meaningful poem. It can be about anything.

Answers

Answer:

Personal poem one:

It's been so long since I've seen the sun.

Light.

Ages since I've swam out of the water that pulls me under.

I'm stuck here.

Drowning forever.

Drowning as I walk past ignorant people.

When I scream it sounds muffled, they can't hear me.

I give up trying to ask for help.

Even if I swam out, they wouldn't hear me.

They'd still be deaf to my words.

(It doesn't matter how many times I try to explain how I feel, no one will ever understand)

Personal poem two:

Flowers and sunshine mix so perfectly together

As the sun hits the flower, wish it could last forever

But what about the other flowers that cannot reach the sun?

What about the other flowers, don't they deserve some?

Left behind, like all the other weeds

While the violets and daisies steal the sun, so they lead

The sunshine away from the rest left behind

Making the sun blind to the pretty flowers that shine

Poor other flowers that can't reach the sun

Poor other flowers that will always deserve some

(Everyone else always ends up stealing the spotlight, I wish it would shine on me, even for a second)

Good luck! Hope this helped :)

How does Cortázar use narrative tone and character development to make the supernatural elements in the story seem like normal parts of life

Answers

Answer: He uses a dramatic narrative tone and describes the character's daily routine in the house, as well as their personalities and reactions so that when the supernatural events happen, it is natural for them.

Explanation: Narrative tones portray the writer's attitude or the genre of the story. Cortázar uses a dramatic narrative tone so that the reader gets involved in the ambiance from the beginning and repares for thrilling events. He also describes their daily activities, personalities, and reactions in detail. By the time the supernatural events occur, the reader is already immersed in the storyline and processes them as "normal situations" that happen naturally in that world.

Janelle's parents got a special offer of $75 per person for each train trip. If there are 4 people in Janelle's family, what is the total cost of each train trip?

Answers

Answer:

Cost per person = $75

Cost for 4 persons in Janelle's family = 4 x $75 = $300

Therefore, the total cost of each train trip = $300

Explanation:

From the above working, we will discover that the cost for each person's train trip is $75. Therefore, if 4 people in the family will be making the same train trip at the same cost, the total number of people will be multiplied by the cost per person.

Alternatively, it can be obtained by adding $75 in four places. i.e:

$75+$75+$75+$75 = $300.

This gives us the total cost of the train trip.

Read the passage from "By the Waters of Babylon.”

It is not true what some of the tales say, that the ground there burns forever, for I have been there. Here and there were the marks and stains of the Great Burning, on the ruins, that is true. But they were old marks and old stains. It is not true either, what some of our priests say, that it is an island covered with fogs and enchantments. It is not. It is a great Dead Place—greater than any Dead Place we know. Everywhere in it there are god-roads, though most are cracked and broken. Everywhere there are the ruins of the high towers of the gods.

How does visiting the Place of the Gods affect the narrator?

He discovers that it is unwise to have an inquiring mind.
He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city.
He renounces everything he learned from the priests and his father.
He understands that the past has nothing of interest for people of the present.

Answers

Answer:

B. He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city.

Explanation:

What we get to know from this brief excerpt is that the narrator was led to believe by many people that the Place of the Gods was filled with supernatural occurrences like the eternal flame mentioned in the tales or magical elements that the priests made him familiar with. But, that was just an exaggeration, as that place has its scars form the past, but from real events that took place there, not fictional or supernatural.

Answer:

THE answer is B, He learns that there is nothing supernatural to fear in the destroyed city.

In the Raisin in the Sun does Beneatha become a doctor?

Answers

Answer:

She does, due to the fact that the family makes so many sacrifices to allow Beneatha to first off go to medical school, and then become a doctor, just so that she can actually help people and heal people.

Explanation:

In "A Raisin in the Sun" by Lorraine Hansberry, Beneatha Younger is a young woman who aspires to become a doctor. Throughout the play, she is studying pre-med in college and hopes to attend medical school in the future.

What is the main message of A Raisin in the Sun?

The overall message of A Raisin in the Sun is that even though people might have to postpone or delay attaining their dreams until a later time, they can still do so. If a family is strong, its members can succeed despite oppression and a lack of resources.

While the play does not explicitly state whether Beneatha becomes a doctor, it is implied that she is well on her way to achieving her goal. At the end of the play, she receives a gift of money from her brother Walter, who tells her that he wants her to use it to pursue her dreams. This suggests that she may use the money to further her education and become a doctor.

However, the play ends before it is revealed whether Beneatha ultimately achieves her dream of becoming a doctor.

Answers

Answer:

S for sequence.

Explanation:

A sequence is a text structure where things, events, or even processes are described sequentially. This strategy of structuring texts is identified when there is a sequence or order of things in the way the text is presented.

In the given passage, we see that it is talking about how to make a knot and then a "stitch". The way the speaker provides the information is in a sequential pattern, a step by step instruction.

Thus, the correct answer is S for sequence.

Hummingbirds are attracted to all flowers, ______ those with tubular or trumpet shapes. Which best fills in the blank? A. in fact B. in general C. in that case D. in particular

Answers

Answer:

D. In particular.

Explanation:

The use of the phrase "in particular" points to the specificity of the thing or person talked about. It is used to make particular reference to a thing or person.

In the given sentence, the blank will be filled by "in particular" because it shows the specific type of flowers that hummingbirds are attracted to. By pointing out that "tubular or trumpet shapes" are particularly liked by them, it specifies the type of flowers they like.

So, the sentence will be-

"Hummingbirds are attracted to all flowers, in particular, those with tubular or trumpet shapes."

Thus, the correct answer is option D.
