The beginning of the twentieth century was marked by the beginning of the world war which, in addition to changing the life and customs of the population, served as inspiration for the artistic production of the countries involved in the conflict.
The war, its dangers, and its consequences can be seen in literature, music, paintings, sculptures and even cinema. Regarding literature, we can see influences of war in all types of text, including poetry.
Poets used to talk about the dangers of war. It is very common to see poetry where physical dangers serve as inspiration. In these poems it is possible to see the description of all the destruction, deaths and misery that the war brought.
However, some poets preferred to create poetry portraying the psychological and emotional dangers that war caused. In these poems it is possible to see the description of loneliness, fear and hopelessness in waiting for better days where the conflict would no longer exist.

In "Sympathy" Paul Laurence Dunbar uses the image of a bird in a cage to suggest
O restricted freedom
O jealousy and betrayal
O natural beauty
O nostalgia for one's youth
Answer:
Restricted movement
Explanation:
In the poem Sympathy by Paul Laurence Dunbar, the image of a bird in a cage suggest restricted freedom.
The caged bird has wings to fly just like every other bird but it couldn't because its movement has been restricted.
Sympathy is a poem by Paul Laurence Dunbar
I know what the caged bird feels, alas!
When the sun is bright on the upland slopes;
When the wind stirs soft through the springing grass,
And the river flows like a stream of glass;
When the first bird sings and the first bud opes,
And the faint perfume from its chalice steals—
I know what the caged bird feels!
I know why the caged bird beats his wing
Till its blood is red on the cruel bars;
For he must fly back to his perch and cling
When he fain would be on the bough a-swing;
And a pain still throbs in the old, old scars
And they pulse again with a keener sting—
I know why he beats his wing!
I know why the caged bird sings, ah me,
When his wing is bruised and his bosom sore,—
When he beats his bars and he would be free;
It is not a carol of joy or glee,
But a prayer that he sends from his heart’s deep core,
But a plea, that upward to Heaven he flings—
I know why the caged bird sings!
Answer:
restricted freedom

Answers and Explanations:
1. In these lines, Friar Lawrence is essentially scolding Romeo for forgetting about Rosalind so soon. Lawrence thinks Romeo is moving on too quickly, which isn't the most proper. We can tell from the lines that say "Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here?" that Lawrence is quite shocked by this sudden change of heart of Romeo, and we can infer from the situation that he's likely a little bit disappointed in Romeo's fleeting love. In fact, it's possible that the friar doesn't believe Romeo understands deep, real love.
2. Friar Lawrence only agrees because he thinks the marriage of Romeo from the Montagues and Juliet from the Capulets will convince the two warring families to settle their differences and actually achieve peace. We can see this from the lines that say: "For this alliance may so happy prove / To turn your households' rancor to pure love". In other words, Lawrence hopes that Romeo and Juliet's love will change the two patriarchs' minds about each other and each other's families.
3. Usually the relationship between a father and a son is quite good. The fact that the friar and Romeo refer to each other as such indicates that the two are very close: Romeo knows he can rely on the friar for wise, fatherly advice, and the friar thinks fondly of Romeo.

Explanation:
Explain whether her friends’ zombie trick helped the main character feel mentally prepared for the “Zombie 5K.” Use evidence from the text to support your answer.
Answer:
Her friends’ zombie trick did help the main character feel more mentally prepared for the “Zombie 5K.” Before her friends helped her out, she did not know what it would feel like to run while being chased by zombies. At the end of the story, she knows that she can complete the physical tasks of the race even while panicking and being chased. The text indicates this when Kristen says the main character “owned” the obstacle course while under pressure; the main character agrees and says she is not nervous about the race anymore. The fact that she says “anymore” indicates that she was nervous about the race before the zombie chase, but not now. This shows that she feels mentally prepared. The main character also starts laughing after she realizes how well she handled the obstacle course, even though she had been scared in the moment—this too indicates mental preparedness.

Explanation:
Nights and Dragons—
From the memoir of author Abigail Prynne
1
I sit at my desk listening to thunder growl outside my window. Flashes of light burst through the darkness, and wind races past my window. The thrilling combination of sight and sound conjures up visions of dragons roaring proudly, breathing fire, and soaring across the midnight sky. Dragons first fascinated me when I was a little girl. They have followed me ever since. The magnificent creatures appeared in storybooks I read in the library, paintings I saw in museums, movies I watched in the theater, and the dreams I had in my sleep. By the time I was thirteen, one question consumed me. I wanted to know if dragons ever existed, so I set out on a quest for facts.
2
As I started my research, I discovered many skeptics. Scientists presented evidence to show why dragons could not—and did not—exist. They explained that it would be impossible for dragons to fly because they would be too big. They laughed at the idea of dragons breathing fire. They pointed out that no other animal has ever done this. They said that if dragons had lived, someone would have found remains somewhere in the world. No bones about it, there were plenty of logical explanations. It would have been easy for me to accept that the only place dragons ever existed was in the imaginations of those who believed.
3
I could have given up, but I thought about my grandmother. She always told me that "people who believe that science is the answer to everything are missing out on everything else." With her words in mind, I searched some more. There were many facts that hinted that dragons may not be fictional. I noticed that cultures across the world all described dragons in similar ways. This was odd because they had no way to communicate with each other. I found dragons mentioned in more than just stories. They appeared in old legal papers, in the travel logs of Marco Polo, and in the Bible. I saw that the Chinese calendar uses a different animal each year. Dragons are included along with eleven real animals. I began to believe it was a real possibility that all of these people were talking about a creature that actually existed.
4
With renewed hope that there was some truth to the legends, I looked for new research. I found that some experts disagreed with popular arguments against dragons. They suggested that a dragon could have four stomachs like a cow. If it created stomach gases like birds, it might create enough to lift itself off the ground. This would give it the ability to fly. If it forced out air when diving toward the earth, it might release gases which could ignite into flame. When the animal died, the stomachs would release strong acids that would dissolve its dead body over time. Biologists backed up these ideas with sketches and models based on known animals. Not everyone agreed with these ideas, but many of the things we accept about dinosaurs and other extinct species started the same way.
5
I doubt we will ever truly know whether dragons existed. There may always be two sides to the fiery debate. Some will say the stories come from active imaginations. Some will believe with all their hearts that the legendary creatures roamed our ancient world. I don't know for certain which side to believe, but the sound and fury of a night like this makes me smile. It rekindles my childhood dreams and keeps the exciting possibility alive.
Which best states the main idea of the text?
I have found no proof that dragons ever existed.
I have found some proof that dragons may have existed.
I have always wondered if dragons existed, and I hope they did.
I have not been able to decide if dragons ever existed or not.

6. What happened to the young man from Warsaw? Why?
7. How did Elie say the soup tasted the night the pipel (young servant boy) was hanged?
Answer:
The answer is D or number 4
Explanation:
The soup, according to Elie, tasted better than before. He claimed that the soup tasted like corpses following the hanging of the young pipel.
What were the only things in which Elie took an interest?After the first hanging, he was relieved to still be alive, which is why the soup tasted better than before. The soup tasted like dead bodies since he was so depressed following the hanging of the young pipel.
They had just witnessed a terrible event, so they were unable to enjoy the delight of eating. The reader can see how rapidly his tone deteriorated, which helps with tone.
A young man from Warsaw who is physically fit and strong is hung for stealing.
