“The heat, the thirst, the pestilential stench, the suffocating lack of air-these were as nothing compared with these screams which tore us to shreds” [pp27]

"Explain if any rhetorical device, such as figurative language, is used and interpret the meaning of the quote."

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The sentence shown in the question above presents the figure of speech called a metaphor.

Explanation:

The metaphor is the figure of speech that presents a comparison between elements. This comparison is made subjectively, creating a deep, reflective and poetic meaning. In the sentence shown in the question above, we can perceive the metaphor because the sentence shows that there are screams that are so desperate that they cause more agony than the heat, the thirst, the stinking stench and the suffocating breathlessness. In this case, the metaphor was used to compare the agony that uncomfortable, negative and bad elements can cause.

Answers

Answer:

I believe that everyone could make a huge difference to our country if we all have a goal to change the way things are. I think that if i personally was more accepting of everyone in our country, that it would make a difference. Being able to accept everyone for the way will improve our country greatly. We need to be united in america, and in the past we havent been. It has been a goal of our country forever that our citizens are united as one, and obviously we are not. If our society was generally more accepting, we would improve our country in many ways. Being able to work together towards the same goal of being the best country would be a great way to start change in our country.

She told me, too, that there were great fishes in the sea, and that they would eat me up if I fell into the water.

But I would not listen to her. My mind was made up, and a sailor I would be.

Which lines from the poem clarify the theme of "Love is more important than wealth"




"Though I am old with wandering" (line 18)



"I will find out where she has gone." (line 20)



"And pluck till time and times are done" (line 22)



"Because a fire was in my head," (line 2)



"But something rustled on the floor" (line 11)

Answers

Answer:

B.  I will find out where she has gone (line 20)

Explanation:

"The Song of Wandering Aengus" is a poem written by William Buttler Yeats. The poem is about finding the true love. One day the poet goes into the woods to find peace, rather, he finds his true love which vanishes into the woods. The poet is now an old man and still trying to find the woman.

The line that signifies the theme of the poem, Love is more important than wealth, is line 20. In this line, the poet is still persistent in finding the woman who called out his name and vanished into the woods. This also means that the man is eager to seek the love than wealth.

Thus, option B is correct.

Essay on how dropping out of high school should be an illegal offense.​

Answers

Answer:I believe that students should to school until they are eighteen. These are my why, first financially you live better, secondly dropouts will suffer and finally there is a more positive effect if students stay until they are 18.

Would you like to live in the real world by yourself at the age of sixteen or when you are an adult? Financially have you ever heard of a 16 year old making a lot of money I know you have heard of an 18 year old graduate becoming successful such as Michael Dell , Mark Zuckerberg , Bill Gates and Kevin Plank although they dropped out of college it was for their industry, but they all finished high school .

Another reason you will be successful if you stay in high school until you are 18 is if you are in the job industry and they see in your resume you have got your high school diploma  and are in college getting your degree they would take you over a sixteen year old dropout . Some reason why they might not choose a sixteen year old is inexperience, maturity and other reasons that prove they are not ready. This is why you see many young people at fast food restaurants.

An advantage you have if you stay until you are 18 is that you have a choice of going into the real world and making a name for yourself or going to college and expanding your mind or you could do both. Many people that go through high school and college are more likely to get jobs over a person who has their GED.

I know there are some successful people who ended up dropping out of high school to become famous but they did not have to put as much effort as people who go through high school and college.

I think dropouts don’t deserve to have so much fame because many people work harder than dropouts but get paid less than a dime of what a dropout does.

Write a short paragraph of no more than ten lines on the "Advantages of Having Green Hair." Remember to pack in as much information as you can in the fewest, most interesting, number of words.

Answers

Having green hair has several advantages. For one, it looks lovely. Green hair brings to mind emeralds shining in the sunlight. It is juniper leaves swaying in a sweet summer breeze. The color green is not considered creative by many. I don’t believe it. Green is nature’s favorite color. Whilst painting plants, lizards, snakes, and even birds, nature reaches for green first. Therefore, having green hair puts you more in touch with Mother Nature. Green hair may repel certain people from you. This is actually a benefit as those are the people who are prejudice and not worth your time. Instead, people who are intrigued by green hair will come up to you and want to talk to you. Green hair will help you find real friends that have a higher chance of lasting a lifetime.
