What rhetorical device does Twain use by referencing this well-known proverb

Answers

Answer 1

Even though the proverb was not posted here, this question is still perfectly answerable.

Answer:

The rhetorical device Twain uses by referencing a well-known proverb is allusion.

Explanation:

Allusion is a figure of speech in which a reference is made to something or someone that has significance. The author does not explain much, since he/she assumes the audience knows who or what he/she refers to.

For instance, if someone says a woman is as beautiful as Helen of Troy, we would understand he/she means that woman is extremely beautiful. Helen of Troy is a famous character from the Iliad, by Homer, and she was the most beautiful woman in the world. The person making the allusion will not explain this fact, since it is well know.

Therefore, if Twain is referring to a well-known proverb, he is making an allusion to it.

what is the theme of Childhood and poetry by Pablo Neruda?

Answers

Answer:

The theme of Childhood and Poetry by Pablo Neruda is sharing Love.

Explanation:

Love or compassion, given or received, enlarges a person's perspective in life.  When it is clear that we have some persons looking after us, we truly believe that life is beyond what we now know.  Love keeps the world in one piece.  Sharing love is the central theme of "Childhood and Poetry" (1950) by Pablo Neruda.  This poem narrated Pablo's personal encounter when he exchanged some gifts with a stranger.

3) Which type of retail business is Thabiso operating?​

Answers

Answer: Small scale Retailer with a Mobile shop

Explanation:

Like most retailers, Thabiso runs a Small scale business, because he has little capital invested and a low sales volume. Like many Small scale businesses, his is a one-man’s operation.

The use of free or low-cost work from family members is usual in this scale of business. In this example, Thabiso doesn´t have his family working for him, but he does use his aunt´s motor van.

That van moving from town to town makes his business a Mobile shop.

Many literary scholars have argued that John is the clear villain of "The Yellow Wallpaper." Not only does he confine the narrator to the nursery for the "rest cure" treatment, he will not allow her to express her creativity or have any say in her life. However, at the same time, it is apparent that John loves his wife very much and truly wants her to be happy and healthy again. An argument can be made for either side. Choose a clear side and argue whether or not John is a clear villain in the story, Be sure to use and cite specific textual evidence.

1. PART A: What does the phrase
"eternal sleep" most closely mean as it
is used in line 2?

Answers

Answer:

A. Death.

Explanation:

Gary Soto's poem "The Tempest 4.1.156-8" is a reference to William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest". But Soto used this play and gave it a slight twist, with the poem leaning towards the theme of death.

The use of the phrase "eternal sleep" in the second line of the poem is suggestive of death, the eternal sleep of a person. Soto, like Shakespeare, believes that we are not to be in this world forever. He states "We are such stuff... rounded with a sleep". Then he continues with the line "but before this eternal sleep", suggesting the scene where "our loved ones look away" to not see us die before their eyes.

Thus, the correct answer is option A.

1. Are you a part-time student?

2. Does your sister go out a lot?

3. Do your parents live near here?

4. Do you have any sisters?

Explanation:

In the given question, you need to create questions in the present simple tense. The present simple tense is a type of present tense we use to describe habits, unchanging situations, general truths, and fixed arrangements.

This is one of the most basic tenses in English. Most regular verbs use the root form, except in the third-person singular, which ends in -s. For example:

Your sister goes out a lot.

When we want to ask a question in the present simple tense, we need to add the verb to be and put it before the subject of the sentence. Often, this is the beginning of the sentence. We could transform the sentence I wrote above and then turn it into a question:

Your sister does go out a lot.Does your sister go out a lot?

You need to keep this in mind when arranging the words you were given. A form of the verb to be will come first, the subject will come second, and the predicate containing the main verb will come last.

How dose the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?

Answers

This question is incomplete. Here is the complete question:

How does the detail of the children on the spirit’s legs contribute to the overall text?

A. They represent Ignorance and Want, which the spirit warns Scrooge to beware of.

B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

C. They represent Ignorance and Want, two of Scrooge’s faults that hopefully have been corrected by the spirit’s visit.

D. The author likely includes these children to remind readers to care for those in need during Christmas time.

Answer:

The correct answer is option B. They symbolize two of society’s ills which cling to Christmas: the desire to receive instead of to give, and the failure to acknowledge suffering.

Explanation:

   Undoubtedly two of the society's ills wich cling to Christmas is the desire to receive, and never think about those who have the least.

This is exactly what the children represent in the spirit's legs. Children with deprivation and poverty while others have everything, and still want more.

This story tells the life of a selfish and sullen man who changes his way of being during a cold Christmas due to the visit of three ghosts, and it is precisely about symbolizing this problem in society, and trying to change it.

Explanation:

SOURCE 1: From the Rock Creek Police Department newsletter:The results are in. Rock Creek's crime has plummeted ever since Chief Rick Mendez took office. His strong leadership and no-nonsense approach to police work have proven to be a successful combination. In particular, fines for loitering are down 7 percent, and reported traffic violations have dropped a whopping 20 percent. Clearly, Rock Creek's violators are getting the message that crime doesn't pay.

SOURCE 2: From an editorial in the Rock Creek Herald: As predicted, newly elected Police Chief Rick Mendez has wasted no time in manipulating police statistics to make himself look good. By ordering his officers to ease off on giving out traffic tickets, he has decreased the number of reports – but not the number of actual violations - by 20 percent. Moreover, while there is a confirmed 7 percent decrease in loitering, this is only because of a policy implemented by his predecessor, Chief Cheryl Williams.

Which claim do the two sources most clearly disagree on?

A. The actual amount of loitering has gone down by 7 percent.
B. Loitering has decreased because of Police Chief Rick Mandez.
C. Reported traffic violations have decreased by 20 percent.
