Answer:
ohn Muir (/mjʊər/ MEWR; April 21, 1838 – December 24, 1914)[1] also known as "John of the Mountains" and "Father of the National Parks",[2][3] was an influential Scottish-American[4][5]:42 naturalist, author, environmental philosopher, botanist, zoologist, glaciologist, and early advocate for the preservation of wilderness in the United States of America.
His letters, essays, and books describing his adventures in nature, especially in the Sierra Nevada, have been read by millions. His activism helped to preserve the Yosemite Valley and Sequoia National Park, and his example has served as an inspiration for the preservation of many other wilderness areas. The Sierra Club, which he co-founded, is a prominent American conservation organization. In his later life, Muir devoted most of his time to the preservation of the Western forests. As part of the campaign to make Yosemite a national park, Muir published two landmark articles on wilderness preservation in The Century Magazine, "The Treasures of the Yosemite" and "Features of the Proposed Yosemite National Park"; this helped support the push for U.S. Congress to pass a bill in 1890 establishing Yosemite National Park.[6] The spiritual quality and enthusiasm toward nature expressed in his writings has inspired readers, including presidents and congressmen, to take action to help preserve large nature areas.[7]
John Muir has been considered "an inspiration to both Scots and Americans".[8] Muir's biographer, Steven J. Holmes, believes that Muir has become "one of the patron saints of twentieth-century American environmental activity," both political and recreational. As a result, his writings are commonly discussed in books and journals, and he has often been quoted by nature photographers such as Ansel Adams.[9] "Muir has profoundly shaped the very categories through which Americans understand and envision their relationships with the natural world," writes Holmes.[10]
Muir was noted for being an ecological thinker, political spokesman, and religious prophet, whose writings became a personal guide into nature for countless individuals, making his name "almost ubiquitous" in the modern environmental consciousness. According to author William Anderson, Muir exemplified "the archetype of our oneness with the earth",[11] while biographer Donald Worster says he believed his mission was "saving the American soul from total surrender to materialism."[12]:403 On April 21, 2013, the first John Muir Day was celebrated in Scotland, which marked the 175th anniversary of his birth, paying homage to the conservationist.John Muir's Birthplace is a four-story stone house in Dunbar, East Lothian, Scotland. His parents were Daniel Muir and Ann Gilrye. He was the third of eight children: Margaret, Sarah, David, Daniel, Ann and Mary (twins), and the American-born Joanna. His earliest recollections were of taking short walks with his grandfather when he was three.[13] In his autobiography, he described his boyhood pursuits, which included fighting, either by re-enacting romantic battles from the Wars of Scottish Independence or just scrapping on the playground, and hunting for birds' nests (ostensibly to one-up his fellows as they compared notes on who knew where the most were located).[14]:25,37 Author Amy Marquis notes that he began his "love affair" with nature while young, and implies that it may have been in reaction to his strict religious upbringing. "His father believed that anything that distracted from Bible studies was frivolous and punishable." But the young Muir was a "restless spirit" and especially "prone to lashings."[15] As a young boy, Muir became fascinated with the East Lothian landscape, and spent a lot of time wandering the local coastline and countryside. It was during this time that he became interested in natural history and the works of Scottish naturalist Alexander Wilson.
Although he spent the majority of his life in America, Muir never forgot his roots in Scotland. He held a strong connection with his birthplace and Scottish identity throughout his life and was frequently heard talking about his childhood spent amid the East Lothian countryside. He greatly admired the works of Thomas Carlyle and poetry of Robert Burns; he was known to carry a collection of poems by Burns during his travels through the American wilderness. He returned to Scotland on a trip in 1893, where he met one of his Dunbar schoolmates and visited the places of his youth that were etched in his memory.[8] He also never lost his strong Scottish accent despite having lived in America for many years.[16]

But it was in giving the law and making his mates live up to it, that Buck excelled. Dave and Sol-leks did not mind the change in leadership. It was none of their business.

7. individual
8. external rhyme
Explanation:
1. When in his poem "Annabel Lee" Edgar Allen Poe writes "the moon never beams without bringing me dreams of the beautiful Annabel Lee", he is using the literary technique of personification.
This is so because an object that is not human is portrayed as though it was human.
2. The Latin title that the Romantic poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge chose for his poem, "Apologia Pro Vita Sua" translated to English means apology for my life/lifestyle.
3. In the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" the English Romantic poet William Wordsworth uses personification when he says the daffodil flowers are like a "company" of friends that he feels he is spending time with.
4. The Romantic artistic movement placed great value on the experience of the world as a valid, meaningful point-of-view which to record in artistic works.
5. "When I was shown the charts and diagrams, to add, divide, and measure them.." is an example of the anaphora technique from Walt Whitman's poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak".
This is true because the anaphora technique involves the use of repetition of a particular phrase or word in a sentence in other to point the author's viewpoint.
6. In the metaphor that Edgar Allen Poe creates for his poem "A Dream Within a Dream" the shore stands for life itself and the surf hitting the shore and the grains of sand it is constantly washing away stand for time itself and the way it is constantly "washing" away the days of our lives.
7. When Samuel Taylor Coleridge says that he believes that the poet can see "phantoms of sublimity" that perhaps others don't see when he uses his imagination to look within himself, this is an example of the Romantics emphasis upon the existence and importance of the individual.
8. Walt Whitman carefully crafts the external rhyme in each of the stanzas of his poem "When I Heard The Learn'd Astronomer Speak" to show us that for him it is not the scientific, rational understanding but the natural, direct experience of nature that is "perfect".

What is the theme in The Outsiders? Explain why you think that.
Answer:
The theme is The Outsiders tells the story of two groups of teenagers whose bitter rivalry stems from socioeconomic differences. However, Hinton suggests, these differences in social class do not necessarily make natural enemies of the two groups. The greasers and Socs share some things in common. Cherry Valance, a Soc, and Ponyboy Curtis, a greaser, discuss their shared love of literature, popular music, and sunsets, transcending—if only temporarily—the divisions that feed the feud between their respective groups. Their harmonious conversation suggests that shared passions can fill in the gap between rich and poor. This potential for agreement marks a bright spot in the novel’s gloomy prognosis that the battle between the classes is a long-lasting one. Over the course of the novel, Ponyboy begins to see the pattern of shared experience. He realizes that the hardships that greasers and Socs face may take different practical forms, but that the members of both groups—and youths everywhere—must inevitably come to terms with fear, love, and sorrow.

A connection back to the point, on the other hand, is a phrase that promotes a reference to something that has already been talked about and discussed in the text before.
A conclusive statement is the phrase that shows a resolution, a conclusion in fact, after reading and analyzing the text.
Finally, the evidence is an affirmation and a positioning about something in the text.
