12. What is a “Recitatif”? What words does it remind you of and how are these words related to the story?
Answer:9 answer:Twyla realizes that she's the only one leading their conversation and after embarrasing herself by not knowing who Jimi Hendrix was she could sense that the conversation was over (since the other party had no interest whatsoever in keeping it going) therefore she decides to ask one final question involving their families in order to walk away from the conversation and the characters themselves.
12 answer:”ecitatif" is the French form of the word recitative, which is a type of musical dialogue used during the narrative parts in an opera. The title is significant to the story because Twyla Benson shares each of her encounters with Roberta Fisk Norton as an operatic act.”The term "recitatif" also once included the now-obsolete meaning, "the tone or rhythm peculiar to any language."

Ode to the West Wind
by Percy Bysshe Shelley
O WILD West Wind, thou breath of Autumn's being—
Thou from whose unseen presence the leaves dead
Are driven, like ghosts from an enchanter fleeing,
Yellow, and black, and pale, and hectic red,
5 Pestilence1-stricken multitudes!—O thou
Who chariotest to their dark wintry bed
The wingèd seeds, where they lie cold and low,
Each like a corpse within its grave, until
Thine azure2 sister of the Spring shall blow
10 Her clarion3 o'er the dreaming earth, and fill
(Driving sweet buds like flocks to feed in air)
With living hues and odours plain and hill—
Wild Spirit, which art moving everywhere—
Destroyer and Preserver—hear, O hear!
15 Thou on whose stream, 'mid the steep sky's commotion,
Loose clouds like earth's decaying leaves are shed,
Shook from the tangled boughs of Heaven and Ocean,
Angels of rain and lightning! they are spread
On the blue surface of thine airy surge,
20 Like the bright hair uplifted from the head
Of some fierce Mænad,4 ev'n from the dim verge
Of the horizon to the zenith's height—
The locks of the approaching storm. Thou dirge5
Of the dying year, to which this closing night
25 Will be the dome of a vast sepulchre,6
Vaulted with all thy congregated might
Of vapours, from whose solid atmosphere
Black rain, and fire, and hail will burst:—O hear!
Thou who didst waken from his summer-dreams
30 The blue Mediterranean, where he lay,
Lull'd by the coil of his crystalline streams,
Beside a pumice7 isle in Baiæ's bay,
And saw in sleep old palaces and towers
Quivering within the wave's intenser day,
35 All overgrown with azure moss, and flowers
So sweet, the sense faints picturing them! Thou
For whose path the Atlantic's level powers
Cleave themselves into chasms, while far below
The sea-blooms and the oozy woods which wear
40 The sapless foliage of the ocean, know
Thy voice, and suddenly grow gray with fear
And tremble and despoil themselves:—O hear!
If I were a dead leaf thou mightest bear;
If I were a swift cloud to fly with thee;
45 A wave to pant beneath thy power, and share
The impulse of thy strength, only less free
Than thou, O uncontrollable!—if even
I were as in my boyhood, and could be
The comrade of thy wanderings over heaven,
50 As then, when to outstrip thy skiey speed
Scarce seem'd a vision,—I would ne'er have striven
As thus with thee in prayer in my sore need.
O lift me as a wave, a leaf, a cloud!
I fall upon the thorns of life! I bleed!
55 A heavy weight of hours has chain'd and bow'd
One too like thee—tameless, and swift, and proud.
Make me thy lyre, ev'n as the forest is:
What if my leaves are falling like its own!
The tumult of thy mighty harmonies
60 Will take from both a deep autumnal tone,
Sweet though in sadness. Be thou, Spirit fierce,
My spirit! be thou me, impetuous one!
Drive my dead thoughts over the universe,
Like wither'd leaves, to quicken a new birth;
65 And, by the incantation8 of this verse,
Scatter, as from an unextinguish'd hearth
Ashes and sparks, my words among mankind!
Be through my lips to unawaken'd earth
The trumpet of a prophecy! O Wind,
70 If Winter comes, can Spring be far behind?

The wife of bath most likely retells the story of midas to show that
Answer:
"The Wife of Bath" most likely retells the story of Midas to show that women cannot be trusted with secrets.
Explanation:
In "The Wife of Bath's Tale," which is part of Chaucer's "Canterbury Tales," the Wife retells the story of Midas to a knight, but she twists it. In the original story, the person who reveals Midas secret is the barber. In the Wife's story, it is Midas's own wife, who whispers his secret to the water of a marsh. The water then spreads it - Midas has two donkey ears growing under his hair.
Her purpose in doing this is to show that women cannot be trusted with secrets. She goes to the extent of changing what happened in the story in order to convey this lesson to the knight. What is worse is that Midas could not trust his own wife. He begged her not to tell anyone, but the secret burned inside her.

Choose 1 reacreational activity that you had done in the past. (Its either indoor or outdoor). Then share your experiencr on that activity.
Answer and Explanation:
A recreational activity I did was to paint images of animals using my hands as brushes. This activity was carried out indoors, that is, inside a house and not outdoors.
The activity was very profitable, because it allowed great fun for everyone involved, while we imagined which animals resembled the shapes that our hand, dirty with ink, presented on paper. I believe that it would be very useful to redo this activity in a zoo, where we could observe the animals up close, but we would have to be careful with the dirt that the paint causes.

Read the following passage from The Pickwick Papers by Charles Dickens:
"On either side, the banks of the Medway, covered with
corn-fields and pastures, with here and there a windmill, or
a distant church, stretched away as far as the eye could
see, presenting a rich and varied landscape, rendered more
beautiful by the changing shadows which passed swiftly
across it as the thin and half-formed clouds skimmed
away in the light of the morning sun. The river, reflecting
the clear blue of the sky, glistened and sparkled as it
flowed noiselessly on; and the oars of the fishermen
dipped into the water with a clear and liquid sound."
Which of the following phrases from the passage contribute to the peaceful
mood of the text?
O A. light of the morning sun
O B. oars of the fishermen
O c. half-formed clouds
O D. swiftly across
Answer:
d. swiftly across
Explanation:
The reason why this phrase contributes to a peaceful mood is because the word swiftly suggests something quiet and quick, and quiet is always associated with peacefulness.
Swiftly across: the passage contributes to the peaceful mood of the text. Thus, option D is the correct option.
What is the mood in literature?The mood is anything that is written with intention and calls for the synthesis of several creative writing craft abilities. The writer must perfect their word choice, grammar, and writing style while conveying certain subjects and concepts. As a result, the mood in literature is the product of painstaking—and rewarding—work rather than something that just happens.
The reader's feelings that a text elicits from them are referred to as mood. The writer may evoke a variety of emotions in the audience when several craft components come together perfectly. There is a distinction between evoking the reader's emotions (mood) and forcing them upon the reader (atmosphere). Works of literature frequently arouse a range of diverse emotions, especially long-form prose and poetry.
