Free verse
Theme in Yellow
by Carl Sandburg

I spot the hills
With yellow balls in autumn.
I light the prairie cornfields
Orange and tawny gold clusters
And I am called pumpkins.
On the last of October
When dusk is fallen
Children join hands
And circle round me
Singing ghost songs
And love to the harvest moon;
I am a jack-o'-lantern
With terrible teeth
And the children know
I am fooling.

Set Verse
America
by Claude McKay

Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger’s tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth.
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate,
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet, as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time’s unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

In my opinion...

1) The free verse structure of Sandburg's poem affects its reading it by making you think more about what is being said by how the words are placed.

2) The poem that has a faster reading to me is "America" by Claude McKay.

3) It reads faster to me because the words are not spaced out as much and it flows much nicer than the other poem.

I hope this helps!! :)

Answer 2

Answer: The free verse in the poem “Theme in Yellow” forces readers to pause and consider each line of the poem. The poem also sounds more chaotic because of its form.

On the other hand, in a sonnet such as “America,” the reader is likely to read the whole poem quickly. “America” also seems more harmonious. Because of its ababcdcdefefgg rhyme scheme, it has a more lyrical quality, and it is more predictable in form, so the reader can read the poem fluidly and rhythmically.

Answer:

The Great Depression was the worst economic downturn in US history. It began in 1929 and did not abate until the end of the 1930s.

The stock market crash of October 1929 signaled the beginning of the Great Depression. By 1933, unemployment was at 25 percent and more than 5,000 banks had gone out of business.

Although President Herbert Hoover attempted to spark growth in the economy through measures like the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, these measures did little to solve the crisis.

Franklin Roosevelt was elected president in November 1932. Inaugurated as president in March 1933, Roosevelt’s New Deal offered a new approach to the Great Depression.

Read the lines from Act I of Julius Caesar.

Cassius: For once upon a raw and gusty day, Caesar
said to me,"Darest thou, Cassius, now leap in with
me into this angry flood, and swim to yonder
point?" Upon the word, I plunged in and bade him
follow. So indeed he did. But Caesar cried, "Help
me, Cassius, or I sink!" (With a jealous sneer, he
points at Caesar's statue.) And this man is now be­-
come a god.

In this excerpt from Act I of Julius Caesar, Cassius tells the story of a past interaction he had with Caesar.

How does this interaction develop a conflict in the play?


Caesar had made an impression on Brutus and Cassius believes this will weaken Brutus's loyalty to him.

Caesar owes Cassius his life for saving him from drowning, but Caesar refuses to reward Cassius for his help.

Explanation: I did the test and got it right.

Cassius feels Caesar has made a fool of him by ignoring the Soothsayer's warnings when Cassius brings him forward to speak. These lines are taken from the Act I of Julius Cesar. Hence, option D is appropriate.

Who is Julius Cesar?

Roman general and statesman Gaius Julius Caesar. Caesar, a member of the First Triumvirate, commanded the Roman legions throughout the Gallic Wars, vanquished Pompey in a civil war, and then ruled the Roman Empire from 49 BC until he died in 44 BC.

With the help of bold political changes, Julius Caesar turned Rome from a republic into an empire. Together with his military and political prowess, Julius Caesar was renowned for his passionate union with Cleopatra.

Julius Caesar used his influence to reduce Rome's debt, increase the size of the senate, and institute other necessary changes. He supported the construction of the Forum Iulium and the reconstruction of Carthage and Corinth at the same time. Foreigners were also given citizenship by him.

Hence, option D is correct.

Writing an Argument that Supports the Characteristics of a Role Model

Answers

Answer:

A claim must be arguable but stated as a fact. It must be debatable with inquiry and evidence; it is not a personal opinion or feeling.

A claim defines your writing's goals, direction, and scope.

A good claim is specific and asserts a focused argument.

An assertion must be debatable but presented as fact. It cannot only be a matter of feeling or opinion; it must be subject to examination and support from facts. Your writing's objectives, focus, and range are all outlined in a claim. A strong claim is specific and makes a clear case.

What is a Role Model?

A person who, especially among younger people, can or ought to inspire others through their actions, example, or accomplishment. A person who is content, calm, and confident is a good role model. You don't want a person who tries to make you feel bad or is depressed. Everyone respects someone who is happy with their accomplishments but yet striving for more.

Good role models have the greatest expectations for both themselves and their profession. They constantly look for ways to improve while respecting others' time, work, and limits.

A role model is someone you can look up to, like your favorite teacher or a famous person who is nice. In that it communicates an aspirational ideal, a role is comparable to a model.

Thus, An assertion must be debatable but presented as fact.

Look back through the of The Diary of a Young Girl and find an incident that you think is particularly meaningful,then write about the incident. 1 paragraph maximum

Answers

Answer:

N/A

Explanation:

I have 2 good incidents. I will put them both here and you can pick whichever you like. I am using quotes to say the incident and then I explain with a paragraph.

1A. "I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, the bad part on the outside and the good part on the inside, and keep trying to find a way to become what I’d like to be and what I could be if . . . if only there were no other people in the world."

1B. This statement ends Anne Frank’s last diary entry, written on August 1, 1944. Anne does not intend to end her diary at this point: to her, it is just the end of a regular day of hiding in the annex. However, this turns out to be her last entry because the Nazis arrested her and her family just three days later. It serves as a fitting conclusion to Anne’s development and personal growth during her time in the annex. Since her time in hiding coincides with puberty, Anne constantly struggles with her identity and her evolving sense of self. She tries to figure out her role within the annex and how she fits into the war and suffering in the outside world. Anne believes that she is a good person, but she also realizes that because of her confinement, she is unable to reach her true potential until she is released back to her normal life after the war. Anne’s words resonate even more profoundly because we know that within months these “other people” kill her in the concentration camp. Anne is never allowed to reach her full potential and never gets the chance to become the good person she has in mind.

2A. "It’s difficult in times like these: ideals, dreams and cherished hopes rise within us, only to be crushed by grim reality. It’s a wonder I haven’t abandoned all my ideals, they seem so absurd and impractical. Yet I cling to them because I still believe, in spite of everything, that people are truly good at heart."

2B. Anne writes this on July 15, 1944, less than one month before the Nazis arrested her and her family, sending them all to the concentration camps. This is perhaps the most well-known quotation from Anne’s diary because it is a brazen expression of optimism in the face of imminent and incomprehensible cruelty. The passage also provides a brief glimpse into Anne’s mind during her last days in the annex and demonstrates how much she has changed from when her family first went into hiding. At the beginning of her diary, Anne would likely never have had the self-insight to make such a sweeping statement. After two years of growth while living in extremely difficult circumstances, however, she is able to find within herself a core of hope and optimism. This passage is an example of Anne’s occasional and brilliant glimpses of lucidity and insight into her horrific situation.
