They saw him marching out of camp, but they did not see the instant and terrible transformation which took place as soon as he was within the secrecy of the forest. He no longer marched. At once he became a thing of the wild, stealing along softly, cat-footed, a passing shadow that appeared and disappeared among the shadows. He knew how to take advantage of every cover, to crawl on his belly like a snake, and like a snake to leap and strike. He could take a ptarmigan from its nest, kill a rabbit as it slept, and snap in mid air the little chipmunks fleeing a second too late for the trees. Fish, in open pools, were not too quick for him; nor were beaver, mending their dams, too wary. He killed to eat, not from wantonness; but he preferred to eat what he killed himself. So a lurking humor ran through his deeds, and it was his delight to steal upon the squirrels, and, when he all but had them, to let them go, chattering in mortal fear to the treetops.
Which theme does this passage illustrate?
A. A good leader is strong and intelligent and treats his followers well.
B. Only the strong survive in the wilderness.
C. The desire to fight for power is an instinct.
D. The only way to learn something is to try it.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The desire to fight for power is an instinct.

Explanation: This is the answer because he is killing many things for not very good reasons. Therefore he is just killing for power.

WHITE QUEEN: Well, yes, if you call that a-dressing. It isn’t my notion of the thing, at all. ALICE: If your Majesty will only tell me the right way to begin, I’ll do it as well as I can. WHITE QUEEN: But I don’t want it done at all. I’ve been a-dressing myself for the last two hours. ALICE: Every single thing’s crooked, and you’re all over pins; may I put your shawl straight for you? WHITE QUEEN: I don’t know what’s the matter with it! It’s out of temper. I’ve pinned it here, and I’ve pinned it there, but there’s no pleasing it. ALICE: It can’t go straight, you know, if you pin it all on one side, and dear me, what a state your hair is in! WHITE QUEEN: The brush has got entangled in it! And I lost the comb yesterday.

What is the summary of stanza 17 in the raven?

Answers

Answer:

The Raven: 17-18

Rhyme Scheme

Stanza 18

And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting,still is sitting DD

On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; B

Analysis of Stanza 18

And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming EE

And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; B EE

And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor B

Rhyme Scheme

The raven has not moved from its place on the statue of Athena outside of his chamber. The raven scares Poe with its eyes that seem to be in a fixated trance. The raven sits under a lamp that casts its shadow on the floor, which symbolizes its inherently evil quality. Like the shadow on the floor, Poe's spirit and hope for a better future will never be lifted or consoled. His hope will remain on the floor.

Stanza 17

Shall be lifted - nevermore! B

"Be that word our sign in parting, bird or fiend!" I shrieked upstarting- CC

"Get the back into the tempest and the Night's Plutonian shore! B

Leave no black plume as a token of that lie thy soul hath spoke! D

Leave my loneliness unbroken- quit the bust above my door! B D

Allusions

Take thy beak from out of my heart, and take thy form from off my door!" B

Analysis of Stanza 17

Quoth the Raven - nevermore! B

Night's Plutonian Shore - This is an allusion to the Roman god, Pluto. The narrator uses this phrase as a metaphor for hell where Plutonian is an adjective meaning dark and evil, alluding to the vile nature of the mythical Pluto.

Pallas - This is another allusion to Greek mythology. This allused to a very well-known and revered godess from Greek culture, Pallas Athena.

Poe is upset that the bird keeps repeating, "Nevermore," thus he says that the conversation should end and Poe starts to lose control of his anger. Poe condemns the raven and tells it to go back to the violent storm and eerie night it came from. Poe tells the raven to not leave any trace of its visit and he is fed up with its lies. Poe implores the raven to leave his presence and to stop playing with his emotions, however, the raven will not move.

Foreign Words

Analytical Questions

Upstarting - To jump up (as to one's feet) suddenly.

Tempest - A violent storm.

Plutonian - Of, relating to, or characteristic of Pluto or the lower world.

How do you think the Roaring Twenties (1920-1929) compare with the last decade, especially this year-2020?

Answers

The crazy 1920s were marked by an extreme consumerism presented by the population, where various products were created at all times, making people want them hard, buying them all the time and without worrying about possible disadvantages. All this consumerism ended with the end of that decade when the great depression occurred, an unprecedented crisis that strongly changed the economic life of countless people in the country.

Similarly, the last decade in which we live has been marked by consumerism generated from technological advances. We started to buy devices as they were launched without worrying about the disadvantages that this causes us and the waste of money. Similar to the late 1920s, our last decade has also seen an unprecedented crisis, the crisis generated by the coranavirus that has drastically affected life and the economy of many people around the world.

Answers

Answer:

Four score1 and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this

continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the

proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war2

, testing whether that nation, or

any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on

a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that

field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that

nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate—we can not consecrate3

—we

can not hallow—this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who

struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or

detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here,

but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to

be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have

thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the

great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take

increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure

of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have

died in vain4

—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of

freedom—and that government of the people, by the people, for the

people, shall not perish from the earth.

I would ask my parents to read the story to me every night—and I always demanded that they use different voices for each character. Sometimes I would make up my own dialogue to supplement the story. When I got older, I even wrote my own stories. They were full of larger-than-life characters and magical events, just like the story of Cinderella. My dream is to one day work in the film industry bringing exciting stories to life."

Luka the Cat
Mark made it sound more attractive than it was. He called and said, "We've got some kitties over here that need homes. Why don't you come look at 'em?" Really, they were grown cats. The neighbors had moved suddenly and left them behind. The one he had in mind for me was a big longhaired yellow male. He was insistently friendly, which was sort of charming, but I became interested in the other one. She wasn't as obviously friendly as the yellow guy, and she was clearly a "talker." She played with sticks or pieces of grass and let herself be petted. I thought that maybe, because she was shorthaired, my sister might not be allergic to her.

We didn't have a box for her to travel in, so we used a stretchy cord to attach a sheet of cardboard onto a plastic crate. She got out about five times before it worked. Each time she escaped, she became madder. I don't know how Mark managed to get her back in the last time, and she screamed as if she were being tortured all the way to my house.

I think I made a good choice, but I do have an unusual cat. She makes my sister sneeze like crazy, so the short-hair idea didn't work. She's pretty—nice black and tan markings with a white stomach and paws. But she's about the loudest domestic cat in the world. Whenever she wants to go inside or outside—about every ten minutes—I have to listen to these huge meows until I give her what she wants. I had to learn that sometimes those meows mean "pick me up and pet my ears" and that the "please" is always silent. It's been over seven years now. I think I'll keep on keeping her. She's really quite sweet under the growly voice.

Explanation:

Successful people have clear-cut goals. Instead of vague goals like “become rich,” their goals will be specific, like “expand from one to three stores within the next two years.”

By gaining clarity on their goals, they actually make attaining them far more possible. First, the goals become specific motivating factors, which keep them going when times get tough. Second, these goals provide a blueprint for their career. They have something specific to work toward. With their idea of success is defined, they can break down the goals into more manageable milestones which can be worked toward incrementally.

When someone says your ''successful'' it means that you did something that made you very rich or started a company and that got you famous, something you DID to become rich, famous and etc.

Answers

Answer:

One of the greatest speakers for the black civil rights movement was Martin Luther King, Jr.

Two of his pieces that stand out the most, are the “Letter from Birmingham Jail” and “I Have a Dream”.

The Letter From Birmingham Jail is a letter that King had wrote while he was in jail, to a group of clergy members who disapproved of his action inside Birmingham City.  I Have a Dream was speech was delivered in Washington, DC at Lincoln Memorial on August 28, 1963.

written to inspire people to look beyond themselves and also demanded the country unity focusing on equality for all without focusing on the color of their skin..King also wanted the people to take a stand in a nonviolence manner. The Letter from Birmingham Jail and I Have a Dream, have many similarities and differences between the two pieces.

There are many similarities between I Have a Dream and the Letter from Birmingham Jail. Both of the pieces have many rhetorical appeals in common, maybe its pathos, logos, ethos or  repetition.

In the speech, “I Have a Dream”, one pathos part that had stand out was, “ I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character”.

This quote is so emotional because it was not about what King wanted for himself but for his children, it also stand out because it make the audience think about their children and how they wouldn’t want their kids going through what they been going through. which makes it even more important to put end to racism.

In the “Letter from Birmingham Jail”, one pathos part that stand out was when King said, “For there is the more excellent way...
