what’s prose? Please explain because i don’t understand any of the definitions.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

To put it in a simple way, you can think of a prose as a short story. It's not like a poem, where there's a structure to it. It's basically like an excerpt from a novel. You can think of it like a passage from a story. Examples of prose include newspaper articles, textbooks, and novels.

What are sensory terms and descriptive words?

Language that appeals to one or more of the five senses—sight, hearing, smell, also taste, and touch is said to be referred to as sensory language. It uses sensory play and is designed to engage the reader's imagination on various levels in order to evoke mental imagery.

Sensory words are descriptive because they convey our perception of the world.

Note that common definition of revision is the last step in the writing process (prewriting, writing, and revision). According to the words of  Sommers (1982), revision, is "a process of making adjustments while producing a draft, modifications that try to make the draft consistent with a writer's shifting intentions."

Explanation:

Read the poem. Song of the Open Road by Walt Whitman Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road, Healthy, free, the world before me, The long brown path before me, leading wherever I choose. Henceforth I ask not good-fortune—I myself am good-fortune; Henceforth I whimper no more, postpone no more, need nothing, Strong and content, I travel the open road. . . . From this hour, freedom! From this hour I ordain myself loos’d of limits and imaginary lines, Going where I list, my own master, total and absolute, Listening to others, and considering well what they say, Pausing, searching, receiving, contemplating, Gently, but with undeniable will, divesting myself of the holds that would hold me. I inhale great draughts of space; The east and the west are mine, and the north and the south are mine. I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness. All seems beautiful to me; I can repeat over to men and women, You have done such good to me, I would do the same to you. I will recruit for myself and you as I go; I will scatter myself among men and women as I go; I will toss the new gladness and roughness among them; Whoever denies me, it shall not trouble me; Whoever accepts me, he or she shall be blessed, and shall bless me.
Read this line from "Song of the Open Road." Afoot and light-hearted, I take to the open road,
How do the words afoot and light-hearted affect the tone of the poem?
They add irony to the poem.
They make the poem more serious.

Explanation

because afoot is like having a pep in your step and light hearted is like your not weighed down by many troubles. you feel content and free

The words "Afoot and light-hearted" gives the poem an upbeat tone.

Walt Whitman's poem "Song of the Open Road" is part of his "Leaves of Grass" collection. The poem in particular is a long poem of 15 parts where the speaker/poet declares that he is in control of his own life and that nothing can come in the way.

In the given poem, the speaker/writer used the words like "afoot and light-hearted" which are all suggestive of an upbeat and positive attitude. There is no indication of irony in the poem, nor is it a serious one.

Read the excerpt from chapter 8 of the travels of Marco polo which statement best reflects the authors opinion about dates and salt fish

Answers

Answer:

Dates and salt fish are not high-quality foods

Explanation:

Answer:

"They are small creatures and very pretty."

Explanation:

refers to how a person's judgements are shaped by their personal experiences and feelings. It is often used as opposed to objectivity, which is the use of pure facts, with no personal bias.

In this case, the first option (sheep that have no ears) is stated as a fact that we can objectively examine. Either the sheep have ears, or not, but it is not subject to personal opinion. The third and fourth options are similar to the first one, in that they only state a fact, with no bias of opinion from Marco Polo.

However, the second one states that the sheep are "small" and "pretty," which are not easy to define objectively. Marco Polo might think the animals are small and pretty because he is comparing it to his previous experience with similar animals in Europe. However, someone from a different culture might think of them as large and ugly. Because this is open to debate, and the answer can change based on personal bias, this is a good example of subjectivity.

What information did Van Lew relay to Union army
commanders? Check all that apply.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

When the Civil War erupted in 1861, Union and Confederate officers could never have predicted the role women would play in gathering information about the enemy. But as Northern and Southern women began providing critical intelligence on everything from the enemy’s movements to its military strategy, both sides began to actively recruit them as operatives. Over the course of the war, hundreds of women acted as undercover agents, willing to risk their lives to help their cause.

One of the most effective was Union spy Elizabeth Van Lew—a prominent member of Richmond, Virginia, society. The 43-year-old lived with her widowed mother in a three-story mansion in the Confederate capital. Educated in the North, Van Lew took pride in her Richmond roots, but she fervently opposed slavery and secession, writing her thoughts in a secret diary she kept buried in her backyard and whose existence she would reveal only on her deathbed.

But your answers would be:

2. Where the prisoners had been.

3. Who commanded which rebel armies.

4. The morale of rebel troops .

5. Where the rebel troops were headed.

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

From White Fang

By Jack London

Breakfast eaten and the slim camp-outfit lashed to the sled, the men turned their backs on the cheery fire and launched out into the darkness. At once began to rise the cries that were fiercely sad—cries that called through the darkness and cold to one another and answered back. Conversation ceased. Daylight came at nine o'clock. At midday the sky to the south warmed to rose-colour, and marked where the bulge of the earth intervened between the meridian sun and the northern world. But the rose-colour swiftly faded. The grey light of day that remained lasted until three o'clock, when it, too, faded, and the pall of the Arctic night descended upon the lone and silent land.

As darkness came on, the hunting-cries to right and left and rear drew closer—so close that more than once they sent surges of fear through the toiling dogs, throwing them into short-lived panics.

At the conclusion of one such panic, when he and Henry had got the dogs back in the traces, Bill said:

"I wisht they'd strike game somewheres, an' go away an' leave us alone."

"They do get on the nerves horrible," Henry sympathized.

They spoke no more until camp was made.

What aspects of the developing story would you emphasize in a summary of this section of the text? Why would you emphasize them? Please respond in three to five complete sentences.

Answer and Explanation:

The aspect of this story that I would emphasize in a summary of this section of text would be the noises that terrified the characters. I would emphasize this element, as I believe it is the most important part of the narrative, since this fear is what motivates the characters' action, in addition to imposing suspense, tension and gripping the narrative, leaving the reader anxious for the facts that are will develop ahead.

Answers

Explanation:

The author's purpose is to inform readers about a fascinating and intelligent person, as shown in the last answer option.

We can arrive at this answer because:

"A Drop in the Bucket" is a book of poems.In this book, author Melissa Brown shows her thoughts and the challenges of living with depression.In front of the poems, we can see that Brown wants to talk about herself, showing how even with the disease she remains an admirable and intelligent person, even if there are days when she doesn't believe in it.

At first reading, we might think that Brown is meant to explore the illness she has, but she aims to expose the person behind the illness and show how that person is relevant.

How does Inman’s view of the war differ from Lee? Why does he fear Lee’s logic towards fighting?

Answers

Answer:

1. Lee liked fighting and thought that war was a good way of showing what God's will is, or identifying who was favored by God.  Inman felt that we fought so many wars and the idea did not appeal to him.

2. Inman feared Lee's logic that war was most sacred after prayer and bible reading because if his thoughts were true, then every victor in all wars and squabbles would be identified as the chosen one from God.

Explanation:

In the book, Cold Mountain, Inman was characterized as an injured man at the war who had a conversation with a man who was born blind. In the conversation, the blind man asked him to tell of a time when he wished that he was born blind. That led him to begin his recollection of a fight that was done under a General named Lee. To spur his subordinates to fight, Lee sold them the idea that war was a sacred thing and that it was used by God to identify his chosen ones or reveal his hidden will.

Inman did not view the war in the same light as Lee as the idea of war was not appealing to him.
