How to Triumph Like a Girl

By Ada Limón

I like the lady horses best,
how they make it all look easy,
like running 40 miles per hour
is as fun as taking a nap, or grass.
I like their lady horse swagger,
after winning. Ears up, girls, ears up!
But mainly, let’s be honest, I like
that they’re ladies. As if this big
dangerous animal is also a part of me,
that somewhere inside the delicate
skin of my body, there pumps
an 8-pound female horse heart,
giant with power, heavy with blood.
Don’t you want to believe it?
Don’t you want to lift my shirt and see
the huge beating genius machine
that thinks, no, it knows,
it’s going to come in first.


What is the poet's message about power?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Limon is saying, if a female racehorse can do it, so can she. She wrote the poem to encourage “anyone who's in need of a reason to fight their way across that finish line”. While there is a big difference between horse and human, Limon, gives you a sense of hope.

Hope it helps

Answer: "the real feelings behind exams"

what is an exam? an exam is an offical test that shows a students knowledge or ability in a particular subject. In a school classof 25 students five of them may be struggling with depression, anxiety, substance abuse and more. We all know that since the pandemic started alot more students are falling behind on assignment so adding alot of exams to a course can stress a student out. Exams are necessary but should be limited. It is good to test your knowledge however continuously stacking on exams on after another can seriously affect the mental health of students.

Which of the following lines foreshadows Juliet’s fate?

JULIET
I have a faint cold fear thrills through my veins,
That almost freezes up the heat of life:
I'll call them back again to comfort me:
Nurse! What should she do here?
My dismal scene I needs must act alone.
Come, vial.
What if this mixture do not work at all?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?
No, no: this shall forbid it: lie thou there.
What if it be a poison, which the friar
Subtly hath minister'd to have me dead,
Lest in this marriage he should be dishonour'd,
Because he married me before to Romeo?
I fear it is: and yet, methinks, it should not,
For he hath still been tried a holy man.
How if, when I am laid into the tomb,
I wake before the time that Romeo
Come to redeem me? there's a fearful point!
Shall I not, then, be stifled in the vault,
To whose foul mouth no healthsome air breathes in,
And there die strangled ere my Romeo comes?
Or, if I live, is it not very like,
The horrible conceit of death and night,
Together with the terror of the place,—
As in a vault, an ancient receptacle,
Where, for these many hundred years, the bones
Of all my buried ancestors are packed:
Where bloody Tybalt, yet but green in earth,
Lies festering in his shroud; where, as they say,
At some hours in the night spirits resort;—
Alack, alack, is it not like that I,
So early waking, what with loathsome smells,
And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth,
That living mortals, hearing them, run mad:—
O, if I wake, shall I not be distraught,
Environed with all these hideous fears?
And madly play with my forefather's joints?
And pluck the mangled Tybalt from his shroud?
And, in this rage, with some great kinsman's bone,
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
O, look! methinks I see my cousin's ghost
Seeking out Romeo, that did spit his body
Upon a rapier's point: stay, Tybalt, stay!
Romeo, I come! this do I drink to thee.

Nurse! What should she do here?
For he hath still been tried a holy man.
As with a club, dash out my desperate brains?
Shall I be married then to-morrow morning?

Answers

Answer:” How if, when i am laid into the tomb,”

Typical North Americans carry around with
them an air space of about two feet in any
direction. They feel uncomfortable when they
are bumped or when this air space is
penetrated in any way. When they are required
to make some sort of physical contact with
other North Americans they do so by
extending their hand rather tentatively out
through their air space to join another hand
that has reached out through another air
space in what is known as a handshake. The
hands are then immediately withdrawn and
there is rarely another physical contact

Answers

The correct answer is C. Typical North Americans do not like to interact with each other at all.

Explanation

The text mainly talks about the conception that North Americans have about the air space that surrounds them, which is popularly known as personal space. Regarding this, the author clarifies that "Typical North Americans carry around with them an air space of about two feet in any direction". Complementarily, he refers to the feeling of North Americans once this space is violated by another person, saying that "They feel uncomfortable when they are bumped or when this air space is penetrated in any way". According to the above, it is possible to infer that the correct answer is C. Typical North Americans do not like to interact with each other at all.

Choose 2-3 anime characters that remind you of the main characters (Steve, Charlie, Les Goodman, Pete Van Horn) in The Monsters are Due on Maple Street. Write a paragraph for each anime character telling readers why you chose them and how they are like a certain character in the play. Remember, you must be descriptive! give a picture of your anime character.

Answers

Answer:

The Monsters are Due on Maple Street

(not sure whether you’re supposed to put an introduction paragraph so ill just cut to the information)

In The Monsters Are Due On Maple Street, Steve Brand is the main person to control the mob and act calmly in their situation. In addition to being open minded, listening to Tommy in the beginning of the story and continuing to listen to others' claims, he has a calming influence that puts everyone at bay for most of the story. Another character that is known for being a strong leader and handling situations efficiently is Tōshirō Hitsugaya. Tōshirō Hitsugaya is a fictional character from Tite Kubo's manga and anime series Bleach. Hitsugaya is a captain of the Gotei 13's 10th division or squad, a group of Soul Reapers that oversee the flow of souls and protect Soul Society, an afterlife realm, in the anime. Toshiro has a very mature and headstrong personality. He is a leader who believes in hard work and handling situations properly and efficiently, much like Steve Brand. This leads me to believe that they have similar character dynamics.

The second character I will be discussing is Charlie. Charlie is a very paranoid character who is very quick to point fingers and accuse people of being the imposter among them. The anime character that reminds me of Charlie is Seiya Ryuuguuin, from the anime Cautious Hero. Seiya’s entire character dynamic is that he is cautious and paranoid about every situation. Like Charlie, he is quick to look at a situation and becomes paranoid of it, most of the time over preparing and thinking of every possible outcome. Charlie, everytime something peculiar happened in the neighborhood, immediately came to the worst conclusion, that they were the imposter. As a result, seeing that paranoid personality immediately reminded me of the main heroine of Cautious Hero, Seiya Ryuuguuin.

In a well-constructed essay of 400-450 words, discuss whether you believe Abigail Williams is the catalyst for the witch-hunts trials of 1692 that devastated the Salem community of Massachusetts.​

Answers

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, I believe Abigail Williams is the catalyst for the witch-hunts trials of 1692 that devastated the Salem community of Massachusetts because of Abigail Williams accusation of their neighbors in the act of witchcraft. About one to two hundred people in the Salem area have been imprisoned, twenty-four were executed and fifty-five falsely admitted to the act of witchcraft so we can conclude that Abigail Williams was considered the catalyst in witch hunt trials.

Future continous is used when we need to express an action that we know that will be happening at a certain time in the future....we know this action will be happening.

The structure is very easy:

SUBJECT (I, you, he....) + WILL + BE + VERB +ING

Remember....verb to be is always used with Continous tenses.

So the sentences always follow this structure.

Differentiate between cyberbullying,cyber wellness and cyber cyber safety​

Answers

Cyberbullying is done with the use of the internet or texting, which can be done in-person or not. Non-cyberbullying is done without the use of the internet or texting and can also be done in-person or not. Either can involve speaking directly to the victim or targeting him/her through others. It’s essentially a more technological way of doing what some have been doing for decades. Instead of targeting him/her verbally or on paper, the perpetrator does it with a computer or phone. Instead of getting a rumor going throughout the school that so-and-so said/did such-and-such, the perpetrator posts it online or sends it by phone, whether under his/her own name or through a fake page under the victim’s name.

Answers

Answer:

the answer is option 4

Pride and anger

Pride and anger motivates Odysseus to reveal his true name to the Cyclops.

What is Cyclops?

A chorus of satyrs provides comedic relief in Euripides' Cyclops, a play from the fifth century BC that is based on the encounter between Odysseus and Polyphemus.

The Hesiodic Cyclopes are described as the helpers of the smith-god Hephaestus by the third-century BC poet Callimachus, and Virgil makes a similar claim in the Latin epic poem Aeneid, where he appears to equate the Hesiodic with Homeric Cyclopes.

Cyclopes have been connected to Sicily and the lava-filled Aeolian Islands since at least the fifth century BC.

Therefore, Pride and anger motivates Odysseus to reveal his true name to the Cyclops.
