Answer:
youth

all good things are going to change eventually, like people, seasons, and nature.

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
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

Describe the relationship between Anne frank and her mother and father how do the relationships different??
Answer:
Anne likes to write and she is outdoorsy also she is kind of shy
and Anne's mother she likes to cook a lot and also likes to help and she also checks on all her kids and family while Anne's father he just likes to work a lot
Explanation:
Explanation:
Anne Frank's relationship with both her mother and father differ greatly. Anne Frank had a more close and sentimental relationship with her mother. This closeness in relationship is highly anticipated, because girls are often more closer to their mothers. The connection between the two was strong not only because of their shared gender, but also because of a mother's matriarchal connections to her daughters. Anne's relationship with her father was quite different. Their relationship was not exactly one of indifference, but of a relationship on a more strict basis. Anne loved her father, and he loved her, but she was not especially close with him. She was able to emotionally connect with her mother; that which she could not do with her father.

Read the excerpt from Act II of Julius Caesar.
Calpurnia: (Kneeling) Alas, my lord. Do not go forth today. We'll send Mark Antony to the Senate House, and he shall say you are not well today.
Caesar: (Giving in to her plea easily) For thy humor I will stay at home. (He sees Decius enter.) Here's Decius Brutus. He shall tell them so.
Decius: (Full of hearty smiles) Caesar, all hail! I come to fetch you to the Senate House.
Caesar: Bear my greeting to the senators, and tell them that I will not come today. (Calpurnia rises.)
Decius: (Smoothly covering his surprise) Most mighty Caesar, let me know some cause, lest I be laughed at when I tell them so.
Caesar: (Stiffly, rather embarrassed) Calpurnia here, my wife, stays me at home. She dreamt tonight she saw my statue, which with an hundred spouts did run pure blood. And many Romans came smiling and did bathe their hands in it. (His wife nods, anxiously.)
Announcer 1: Decius tricks Caesar by making the dream sound good.
Decius: This dream was a vision fair and fortunate. (He thinks fast.) Your statue spouting blood in many pipes signifies that from you great Rome shall suck reviving blood. (Caesar smiles at the idea.)
Announcer 2: Then Decius says that Caesar might look like a coward if he does not go to the Senate.
Decius: Know it now: the Senate have concluded to give this day a crown to mighty Caesar. (Caesar looks very happy.) If you send them word you will not come, their minds may change. (He imitates a gossipy voice.) "Break up the Senate till another time, when Caesar's wife shall meet with better dreams." (With heavy mockery) If Caesar hide himself, shall they not whisper, "Lo, Caesar is afraid"?
Caesar: (Shocked, blaming is wife for his worries) How foolish do your fears seem now, Calpurnia! Give me my robe, for I will go. (She shakes her head.)
How does Caesar's viewpoint change in this scene?
Caesar decides to stay home, but when Decius claims he will be crowned by the Senate, Caesar decides to ignore Calpurnia's pleas.
Caesar knows that he will be murdered and wants to stay home, but he decides to go and die an honorable death.

What will lead directly to a government "shut down"?
a. when Congress and the president cannot agree on temporary funding
b. when the president vetoes congresses appropriations bills
c. when Congress fails to override a presidential veto
d. when government spending exceeds revenues before the end of the fiscal year
Answer:
b. when the president vetoes congress's appropriations bills
Explanation:
A president can be defined as an individual who is duly elected by the electorates and as such is the head of the country in a democratic government. The president is empowered by the constitution to sign (veto) legislations, adjourn or convene the legislative body (Congress), grant state pardons and reprieve to citizens, command the armed forces, and welcome ambassadors representing other countries.
In the United States of America, the president has various powers granted by Acts of Congress and Article II of the U.S constitution such as Ordinance power, Appointment power, Implied power, Executive power, etc.
An appropriation bill comprises of proposed law by the legislature that gives the government of a particular country the authority to fund certain projects with a concise description of what the funds are to be used for.
In the United States of America, a government shutdown would arise when the US Congress fails to pass an appropriation bill so as to finance the government for the next fiscal year or when the president vetoes appropriations bills passed by the Congress.
Hence, when the president vetoes congress's appropriations bills, it will lead directly to a government "shut down."
Answer:when Congress and the President cannot agree on temporary funding

Explanation:
Ralph also won't let Piggy blow into it because Ralph is the leader of the island, and as I stated earlier, the conch symbolized law and order.
