[5]How many loved your moments of glad grace,

And loved your beauty with love false or true,

But one man loved the pilgrim1 soul in you,

And loved the sorrows of your changing face;

And bending down beside the glowing bars,

[10]Murmur, a little sadly, how Love fled

And paced upon the mountains overhead

And hid his face amid a crowd of stars.

I swore it sounded like Margaret. It turned out it was Margaret, and she wanted me to sit next to her.

"Ok . . . thanks," I said and took a seat, probably with a confused look on my face. "I love the way you arrange your toppings, in perfect order from ice cream to fudge and chocolate sprinkles. You're a great sundae builder," said Margaret. "Look at mine. I can't even keep it together."

A theme is the central idea or the main message which the writer if a written piece wants his readers to learn or "take away" from his article.

With this in mind, we are aware that themes in a poem are not very different from those in works of prose as they make use of the stanzas, the lines, rhymes, diction, etc to develop the theme.

Some examples of themes which can be used in a poem include:

Theme of loveTheme of betrayalTheme of anger, etc

I liked the way my mother’s hairdresser teased me about boyfriends and dances. Not anymore, though.

Tablets are the ultimate shortcut tools: Unlike a mother reading a story to a child, for example, a smartphone-told story spoon-feeds images, words, and pictures all at once to a young reader. Rather than having to take the time to process a mother’s voice into words, visualize complete pictures and exert a mental effort to follow a story line, kids who follow stories on their smartphones get lazy. The device does the thinking for them, and as a result, their own cognitive muscles remain weak.

Read the following selection carefully, paying close attention to detail.

She was thirty–eight or thirty–nine. She lived in a small frame house with her invalid mother and a thin, sallow, unflagging aunt, where each morning between ten and eleven she would appear on the porch in a lace–trimmed boudoir cap, to sit swinging in the porch swing until noon. After dinner she lay down for a while, until the afternoon began to cool. Then, in one of the three or four new voile dresses which she had each summer, she would go downtown to spend the afternoon in the stores with the other ladies, where they would handle the goods and haggle over the prices in cold, immediate voices, without any intention of buying.She was of comfortable people — not the best in Jefferson, but good people enough — and she was still on the slender side of ordinary looking, with a bright faintly haggard manner and dress. When she was young she had a slender, nervous body and a sort of hard vivacity which had enabled her for a time to ride upon the crest of the town's social life as exemplified by the high school party and church social period of her contemporaries while still children enough to be unclassconscious. She was the last to realize that she was losing ground; that those among whom she had been a little brighter and louder flame than any other were beginning to learn the pleasure of snobbery–male–and–retaliation–female. That was when her face began to wear that bright, haggard look. She still carried it to parties on shadowy porticoes and summer lawns, like a mask or a flag, with that bafflement of furious repudiation of truth in her eyes. One evening at a party she heard a boy and two girls, all schoolmates, talking. She never accepted another invitation.

Answers

Answer:

2-show the development of steam engines over time

Explanation:

The author of "The Early History of the Generation and Use of Steam", Babcock Wilcox, highlighted the development of steam engines overtime tracing the use of the device down to 150 B.C.E. He was able to infer this from a treatise written around that time period known as the Pneumatica, wherein Hero, of Alexander explained that his predecessors as well as his contemporaries used devices that raised steam above its natural level, a mechanism of action employed by the steam engine.

The author further noted that writers from, 1571 to 1629 wrote treatises explaining the working of the steam engine. His chronology lasted up to 1800 when Richard Trevithick and Oliver Evans invented a non-condensing, high pressure steam engine. He also explained that steam engines are still in use till date.
