Source: Lorde, Audre. “Hanging Fire.” The Black Unicorn: Poems. New York: Kitchen Table: Women of Color Press, 1978. El Camino College. Web. 06 June 2011. Which poetic techniques are illustrated in the opening lines “I am fourteen/and my skin has betrayed me/the boy I cannot live without/still sucks his thumb/in secret”? alliteration and metaphor allusion and alliteration apostrophe and simile personification and enjambment

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The poetic techniques illustrated in the opening lines are:

D. personification and enjambment.

Explanation:

Personification is a literary device in which the author attributes human traits and behaviors to inanimate objects. In the lines we are analyzing here, there is personification when the speaker says that her skin has betrayed her. Only a living being, a human, can betray - not skins. But by saying that, the speaker implies a deeper meaning.

Enjambment is a technique in which the author of a poem does not end the sentence with the line. In other words, the sentence keeps on going into the following line or lines. Notice how that happens with the sentence "I am fourteen and my skin has betrayed me." It is one sentence, but divided into two lines:

I am fourteen

and my skin has betrayed me

What is the theme?

Grant Malvern was a superstar high school athlete from a small town where football was revered.
of this town placed a high value on victories. So a top performer like Grant was given privileges and
exceptions. Grant did not have to struggle his way through rigorous courses in high school. He attended
special study sessions with teammates where they mainly studied football. To the surprise of few, Grant was
given a full ride to a reputable university based on his athletic prowess. Yet Grant was not prepared for this
new experience. He expected the university to make special exceptions for him as his high school had. While
he did receive quite a few exceptions, it was not enough to compensate for how underprepared he was.
Despite many good faith interventions by the university, Grant failed to get it together. He lost his
scholarship, and dropped out after his freshman year.

What is purpose of letter about driving safety?

A consistent perception is connected with your eyes. At the point when your eyes are open you see the world and chimes. Yet, consideration assumes a urgent part. Consideration is connected with insight.

Whenever we see things our consideration assumes an extraordinary part. At the point when you watch a film you missed some blooper scenes. Why this happened due to inattention. It is called inattention blindness.

At the point when you center n a specific person, you didn't see another startling thing that enters your visual field or perhaps you missed that unforeseen thing.

Exactly the same thing occurred with Peter when he was drawing his vehicle. He dis not notice the sign expressing close to his exit. This happened as a result of inattention blindness.

The affirmative transformation for “He didn’t either go there.” is He _________ .​

Answers

Answer:

He went there also. // He did go there.

Explanation:

The original sentence, if I may, needs a bit of rearranging for spelling.

" He didn't go there either."

Now.

There are affirmatives and negatives.

An affirmative simply states something; a positive sentence that means something is so. Whereas a negative is its polar opposite! Meaning something is not so.

The statement is a negative (from the looks of it XD), so the best answer that this could be along the lines of is

"He did go there."or "He did also go there."or "He did go there too."

Reread A Wicked History: Stalin pp. 62–63. How does the McCollum’s position about the completion of the Five-Year Plan differ from Stalin’s? What strategy does McCollum use to distinguish his position from Stalin’s? Cite two pieces of evidence for support.

Answers

Answer:

I know that i'm late but the answer that I got was:

Problems arose in the fourth and fifth five-year plans, after World War II, the emphasis was on reconstruction, and in 1945 Stalin promised that the Soviet Union would be the main industrial power in 1960. Stalin focused his agricultural production leadership through the agricultural collectivization project, which he believed would bring good social and economic results to the Soviet Union. The evidence is located on page  62 where it says “At the end of 1932 Stalin proudly announced that the five year plan had been completed a year ahead of schedule.” McCollum, on the other hand, focused on industrial growth, which distinguished his position from Stalin's position on economic development. However, in order to focus on industrial growth, McCollum established projects that would increase the production and quality of agricultural products. The other evidence is on page 63 where it says, “The five year plan had created one of the worst famines in human history right in the middle of the country’s most productive farmland.”

Young George, however, did not yield himself
To nourish the false hunger of a ghost
That made no good return. He saw too much:

Had so conclusively made plain to him
The permanent profusion of a world
Where everybody might have everything
To do, and almost everything to eat,
That he was jubilantly satisfied
And all unthwarted by adversity.

What is young George’s attitude toward life in this excerpt? Select all that apply.
