Read the excerpt from “The Caged Bird.”

But a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams
his shadow shouts on a nightmare scream
his wings are clipped and his feet are tied
so he opens his throat to sing.

What is the figurative meaning of the excerpt?

The bird’s cage has been placed so that it overlooks a cemetery.
The bird’s cage is so small that it cramps his wings and feet.
The caged bird has had his hope destroyed.
The caged bird is thinking very serious thoughts.

Answers

Answer 1
The answer to this question is C
Answer 2
Answer: The caged bird has had his hope destroyed

The easiest way to answer this question is to think logically not poetically. Let’s be real here, the first two and last options don’t even sound figurative so it’s obviously the third option “c”.

If do want a real answer from me, “a caged bird stands on the grave of dreams” pretty much sums up the fact that the birds dreams were shattered and his hope was destroyed. His wings were also clipped and feet were tied meaning that he lost his freedom and hope because he couldn’t fly.

Anyways I hope this helps :)

Favourite book: The Merchant Of Venice

Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice takes place in Italy where Antonio (a merchant) is sad and can't understand why. His friend Bassanio is broke and feels that the girl he loves is out of his league because of his financial status. Antoinio wants to loan his friend some money but all of his capital is tied up at the moment. He takes out a loan with a Jewish money lender named Shylock (who hates Antonio because he's prejudiced). Shylock tells him that the loan has to be repaid in three month's or Antonia will owe him a pound of flesh.

Meanwhile, Portia's father (the rich girl that Bassanio loves) has a condition for all suitors to his daughter. They have to all choose from one of three caskets that he has displayed. One has a portrait of her in it. If the suitor chooses it, then he can marry her. But, if he chooses the other caskets then they must leave the area and never marry another. Bassanio's friend Larenzo elopes with Shylocks daughter, and Bassanio chooses the right casket with Portia's picture. Portia agrees to marry him on the spot.

Antonio's finances are in a bad way because his ships have been wrecked and lost at sea. He is afraid that he will have no way to repay Shylock. Bassanio hears about what Antoino has done and he hurries back to his friend, leaving Portia behind to wait. However, Portia doesn't listen and follows him disguised as her nurse, Nerissa. Bassanio offers to pay double what Antonio owes but shylock won't hear of it. He's ticked that his daughter has eloped with a Christian. The Duke intervenes and says that shylock can have his pound of flesh as long as it doesn't draw blood. Furthermore things turn against shylock when all of his money is taken from him for making such a bargain and half is given to venice and half is given to Antonio, who gives it back to shylock on the condition that shylock make peace with his daughter. Finally, Antonio hears that his other ships have made it safely to port. Everyone is happy.

[tex]\\ \qquad\quad{\underbrace{\boxed{\Large{\mathbb{ Civil\:rights\:have\:never\:been\:popular}}}}}[/tex]

Civil rights are the rights of a ordinary citizen which is necessary for his life to stay alive or very much precious for him.There are many kinds of civil rights such as Right of Independence,Right of saying ,Right to protest,Right to study ,Right to Enquire,Right to objection etc.

But these rights are not be given to all citizens or nit given properly .Some Democratic Superpowers like India ,France,US etc tells that they obey the civil rights of their citizens ,But in real they don't give full .

Some countries even don't give any civil rights to their citizens such as Iraq,Lebanon,China etc.These countries are not obliged to their citizens.

People or citizens try to protest against the taken back rights of themselves but most of the time it don't reveal.The global organisations like Unite nations or UN shows the world that they are protecting the civil rights but its not true.

Citizens suffer on their civil rights to be hunted but they are poor in these cases .They can't do anything .

So it should be told that civil rights of the people have never been popular and may be not in future.

How can a society balance individualism with responsibility to community?

Answers

Society balances individualism and communal responsibility on its own, unless its government chooses those responsibilities for them. Individualism is a responsibility, also on its own, unless it's personally guided through "sloth" actions, in which that behavior isn't rewarded by society anyway as it is useless to the being of it. Naturally, there is no higher intervention that would choose otherwise unless it is strictly dictated.

2. It helps to enhance their communication and listening skills..
