Too Fast

Beatnik's father was a great inventor. He had created many things that made people’s lives easier. One of his inventions was the car that could operate on both water and land; this car was Beatnik's favorite. On the water, it could float and travel at speeds up to 80 miles per hour. But on land, it could travel at speeds over 200 miles per hour. Beatnik's father had created this special car to help people from their island get to the mainland and other islands faster. When Beatnik's father was a boy, the only method of travel from one island to another was by ferry, and the trip often took hours. People who were sick and needed medical help from the mainland would have to endure the long crossing or not go at all because of delays. Beatnik's father loved his homeland and wanted to ease the burden on the people, so he created the water car.

When he showed the car to Batnik, Beatnik's father warned Batnik that the car should not be driven at the maximum speed on land or water because the engine could burst into flame. One day when his father was away, Beatnik decided that he wanted to show the car to his friends. He drove it on the water, at first going only half the possible speed. Then, as his excitement grew, he increased his speed on the water and was nearing maximum speed. When he reached the land, he continued to accelerate. His exhilaration grew. Like the mythological Greek boy Icarus, who flew too close to the sun, Batnik forgot his father’s warning and pushed the gas pedal to the floor. When the car exceeded 200 miles per hour, it burst into flames.

In "Sonnet 73," How does the poet use descriptions of the last golden leaves on a tree and the last flames of a dying fire to reflect irony? I'LL GIVE BRAINLIEST!

SONNET 73
That time of year thou mayst in me behold
When yellow leaves, or none, or few, do hang
Upon those boughs which shake against the cold,
Bare ruin’d choirs, where late the sweet birds sang.
5 In me thou seest the twilight of such day
As after sunset fadeth in the west,
Which by and by black night doth take away,
Death’s second self, that seals up all in rest.
In me thou see’st the glowing of such fire
10 That on the ashes of his youth doth lie,
As the death-bed whereon it must expire
Consumed with that which it was nourish’d by.
This thou perceivest, which makes thy love more strong,
To love that well which thou must leave ere long

People who have their phones are more likely to have a troubled relationship. The cartoon is illustrating the fact that in this society in the 21st century, we are never truly connected, and we are all shaped by and addicted to our technology that we never think about our loved ones.

The picture shows people hugging while staring at their phones. This shows how society has lost themselves within the internet or electronics. Instead of enjoying the moment and love they receive from people around them, they decide to scroll through the internet. It is not healthy as it can lead to trouble in someone’s relationship. Research has proven that overuse of phones can cause dissatisfaction with a partner in a relationship. It has also been proven by people who are in a relationship that using phones most of the time causes problems, such as a boring relationship and more arguments. people who stare at their phones will never understand the beauty of having a relationship.

A set of studies showed that just having a phone out and present during a conversation (say, on the table between you) interferes with your sense of connection to the other person, the feelings of closeness experienced, and the quality of the conversation. This phenomenon is especially the case during meaningful conversations—you lose the opportunity for true and authentic connection to another person, the core tenet of any friendship or relationship. When we are on our phones, we are not looking at other people and not reading their facial expressions (tears in their eyes, frowns, smiles). We do not hear the nuances in their tone of voice (was it shaky with anxiety?) or notice their body posture (slumped and sad? or excited and enthusiastic?). According to these studies, conversations with no smartphones present are rated as significantly higher-quality than those with smartphones around, regardless of people’s age, ethnicity, gender, or mood. We feel more empathy when smartphones are put away. people should put their phones on do not disturb and focus on the person they are eating or going out with.

People who have a phone and are not paying attention are more likely to have an unhealthy relationship because they are not focusing on their partners needs or wants, they are just zoned in on the internet and technology instead of being in the real world.
