They say it is time to decide: If I want to drive or if I want a ride Do I want to swerve or do I climb the steps The world feels huge and busy I am young but not yet adult Old enough yet still unsure Some feet are headed to the beach Some hands are inky, drawing letters My parents have expectant eyes Their embrace reeks of dreams The smiles are kind and waiting I will walk first and perhaps trace the path 1 Notice the shift of language in the poem from the beginning to the end. The complexity in the vocabulary of the last half of the poem shows A. the narrator is hiding a secret. B. the narrator's mood gets jubilant. C. the narrator is getting exhausted. D. the narrator's maturing thoughts.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

I believe the complexity in the vocabulary of the last half of the poem shows:

D. the narrator's maturing thoughts.

Explanation:

In just a few lines, the narrator goes from childish thoughts to more mature ones. His/her tone and vocabulary are a representation of that. At the beginning of the poem, the language is more direct, less adorned. By the second half, it sounds more poetic, even. "Their embrace reeks of dreams," for instance, is probably the most beautiful and mature line of the poem. Not only it conveys the narrator's perception of his/her parents' expectations in a lyrical way, but it also shows that the narrator is mature enough to take such expectations into consideration. So much so that he/she says, "I will walk first and perhaps trace the path." Even without much certainty, there is love, consideration, empathy, while at the beginning there seemed to be only fear and doubt.

true or false mood is the writers attitude toward the subject

Answers

Answer:

True

Explanation:

A writer's mood toward the subject he is writing will increase the quality and climax. Without a mood toward the subject we are writing, we cannot think of what to write. If our mood is happy, then the writing will be fascinating and people will be happy to read it. If you are sad, then the opposite will happen.

Explanation:

The following passage (paragraph 3) mainly suggests that .

Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded—with what caution—with what foresight—with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night about midnight I turned the latch of his door and opened it—oh, so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for my head, I put in a dark lantern all closed, closed so that no light shone out, and then I thrust in my head. Oh, you would have laughed to see how cunningly I thrust it in! I moved it slowly—very, very slowly, so that I might not disturb the old man's sleep. It took me an hour to place my whole head within the opening so far that I could see him as he lay upon his bed. Ha!—would a madman have been so wise as this? And then when my head was well in the room I undid the lantern cautiously— oh, so cautiously— cautiously (for the hinges creaked)—I undid it just so much that a single thin ray fell upon the vulture eye. And this I did for seven long nights—every night just at midnight—but I found the eye always closed; and so it was impossible to do the work; for it was not the old man who vexed me, but his Evil Eye. And every morning, when the day broke, I went boldly into the chamber, and spoke courageously to him, calling him by name in a hearty tone, and inquiring how he had passed the night. So you see he would have been a very profound old man, indeed, to suspect that every night, just at twelve, I looked in upon him while he slept.

Answers

Answer:

The purpose of those words is:

D. to appeal to as large an audience as possible.

Explanation:

If something is difficult, complicated, uncommon, you can be sure that very few people will be interested in it. Maybe it is because they cannot understand it. Perhaps it is because they think they cannot understand it and, therefore, do not even try. When Paine says he offers "simple facts, plain arguments, and common sense," he is wisely choosing such adjectives to appeal to everyone. If something is easy, simple, plain, everyone will think him/herself capable of understanding it. Everyone will be interested. And that is his purpose: to appeal to a large audience.

Story ending with I have never been so embarrassed

Answers

Answer:

Story-writing.

Explanation:

During my college days, I went on a trip with my friends. It was an unofficial trip. This was for the first time that I was going on a trip with my friends. All of us had a camera with us to capture the natural beauty and some of our funny moments. We already had decided to share all the photos and videos after returning back home. I found this very excited that we will not talk about any photograph or video during our trip and discuss it after our return. So we all explored and enjoyed our trip. As soon as we returned back we organize a small gathering for photosharing.  Therefore, I was the first to share all my memories through photos and videos. Everyone appreciated my photos which made me happy. But by the time others began sharing their photos I felt so embarrassed because there were some very embarrassing pictures of mine. I tried to dance for the first time on this trip and my friends clicked my photo in a snake pose with a goggle and they called me a modern snake. My other friend captured a moment when I fell from the stairs like a ball. I left the gathering by making an excuse. I have never been so embarrassed before.

(P. 45) How did Beowulf introduce himself as a warrior soldiers? Use at least 3 describing words and support with a quotation.(50-60 words) (Beowulf)

Answers

Answer:

Beowulf presents himself as a loyal, strong and honorable warrior who submitted himself to the service of the Da*ish people in the name of peace and prosperity. He also says that he was chosen by the Getas to kill the enemy of the Da*ish, that he has already killed countless beasts and that his only defeats were due to the intervention of sea monsters.

A part of Beowulf's presentation is "" I, here, never say / that I am, in the power of struggle, superior / to Grendel - nor in exploits of war. / I am not coming to leave you lifeless / with this sword mine, although that I / could. "

Explanation:

Beowulf is an Anglo-Saxon poem and tells the story of the warrior Beowulf who uses his supernatural strength to defeat the monster Grendel and bring peace to the Da*ish people.

Beowulf is an epic hero and as such has great strength, beauty, loyalty, honor, masculinity and an intense courage to defeat any enemy. These were characteristics much appreciated by the Anglo-Saxon people which shows that the poem reveals much of the culture of that time.

In Vreeland’s short story "Magdalena Looking" you learn about Magdalena, her life and characteristics, and the background of the story through her (Magdalena) wishes. Please LIST each of her wishes and explain what you have learnt about her and the story’s background from those wishes

Answers

Answer:

Magdalena wishes not to have to take care of her brothers but to be free to paint. She wants to be cherished by her father. She wants to paint like her father. She wants to spend more time with her father.

Explanation:

When we know Magdalena's wishes, we realize that this story is based on the lack of independence that women had in years ago. That's because Magdalena has a strong desire to be a painter, but the time she lives limits women to housework, making her parents not give her permission to paint. We also have as a background the idea that male children were valued, since Magdalena cannot spend much time with her father, as she must stay at home helping her mother to take care of the children.

By reading Magdalena's wishes, I could see how cruel society is to women, suppressing their wishes because of social standards that oppress them and prevent them from reaching goals.
