Read the following speech excerpt and then select the correct answer to the question below:

President George W. Bush’s speech to the troops on the USS Abraham Lincoln
Our mission continues. Al-Qaida is wounded, not destroyed. The scattered cells of the terrorist network still operate in many nations, and we know from daily intelligence that they continue to plot against free people. The proliferation of deadly weapons remains a serious danger. The enemies of freedom are not idle, and neither are we. Our government has taken unprecedented measures to defend the homeland — and we will continue to hunt down the enemy before he can strike.

The war on terror is not over, yet it is not endless. We do not know the day of final victory, but we have seen the turning of the tide. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate. Their cause is lost. Free nations will press on to victory.

Other nations in history have fought in foreign lands and remained to occupy and exploit. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home. And that is your direction tonight. After service in the Afghan and Iraqi theaters of war — after 100,000 miles, on the longest carrier deployment in recent history — you are homeward bound. Some of you will see new family members for the first time — 150 babies were born while their fathers were on the Lincoln. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.

Which line from the text suggests it is important to let service men and women know their sacrifices are valued?

A. Your families are proud of you, and your nation will welcome you.
B. Americans, following a battle, want nothing more than to return home.
C. No act of the terrorists will change our purpose, or weaken our resolve, or alter their fate.

Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a literary analyst’s dream come true, and American writers have tried over and over to write a novel of equally important thematic magnitude. Twain was not satisfied to merely include a dynamic setting, vibrant, problematic characters, and a suspenseful plot. Themes that touch the human spirit, challenge our ideas of right and wrong, and make us question the world around us reverberate with each richly developed chapter.

In this lesson, you will finish reading the novel and identify themes. You will also prepare your final draft of your character analysis project.

can someone explain this to me?

Answers

The literary theme is the central subject or topic of a piece of writing and it refers to what the story is about. For example, the theme of a novel can be love, death and deception. A story can have several themes, too.

Look at the underlined section marked number (15). There may be a mistake in the way the sentence is written. If you find a mistake, choose the answer that corrects the mistake. If there is no mistake, choose ‘Correct as is.’ A) Correct as is. B) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded and died from grief, and the earth grew stiff and cold.

D) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves were falling from the sorrowing trees, the flowers were fading and died from grief, and the earth grew stiff and cold.

Answers

The correct answer that corrects the mistake found in the sentence presented is B) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded and died from grief, and the earth grew stiff and cold.

The sentence narrates a series of events that happened all together, in a sequence. The last event numbered "and the earth stiff and cold" (in the original) is incomplete because a verb is missing after the word "earth". All of the other verbs in the sentence are in the Simple Past ("wept", "wailed", "fell", "faded" and "died"), so, the missing verb would have to be in Simple Past too. Therefore, the option that best corrects the sentence, by adding a verb in its Simple Past tense where it was missing, is option B.

Answer A couldn't be correct because the sentence is not correct as is, a verb is missing at the end. Answer C couldn't be correct because the verb added "was growing" is in Past Continuous tense, not following the pattern established by the other verbs in the sentence and breaking their sequence. Answer D couldn't be correct because it changes the verbs in "the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded (...)" from Simple Past to Past Continuous tense, without changing the other ones and adding the missing verb in its Simple Past tense too, which creates disagreement between verbal tenses' use.

the answer is B) Then all the gods wept, the summer breeze wailed, the leaves fell from the sorrowing trees, the flowers faded and died from grief, and the earth grew stiff and cold.

Why element appears in widens missed Ed beaux arts but is excluded in Williams landscape with the fall of Icarus

Answers

If the question means the difference betweent two poems 'Landscape with the fall of Icarus' by Williams and 'Musee des Beaux Arts' by Auden the answer is :

The element which appears in Auden's poem but is not present in the poem by Williams is the reference to a ship which was sailing close by. The poet infers that the sailors on the ship probably saw 'something amazing' i.e. a man falling from the sky. Nevertheless, they did absolutely nothing, they did not try to help but continued to sail calmly as they had probably something more important to do. Auden uses the image of the ship which sails calmly without paying attention to this dramatic fact, to pinpoint the indifference of the people.

He does not know that the man he was trying to hunt, a man who had killed his father and married his own mother, was himself. He had been set aside from his parents at a very early age, so he knew none of them.

a. the narrator challenges tradition

b.the narrator is unreliable

c.the narrator is conservative

d.the narrator questions reality

Answers

Your answer would be A. Why? Reason behind this is in a traditional story the prince would come in and save the princess from the dragon but not in this case. In this case the princess befriends the dragon instead of the prince. The author/narrator put a twist on a classic tale therefore he/she is challenging tradition. Hope this helps!

Answer:

A. The narrator challenges tradition.

Explanation:

A challenge of tradition in literature indicates that an author chooses to change what would normally be expected in the plot climax, as the element of surprise makes for a uniqueness factor in the story.

Regarding the example, the princess would normally be glad the prince saved from the clutches of the dragon, but the author chooses to change that old tradition in their story, so the princess might react differently in this one.

How does the author of “A Modern Love Letter” create surprise? Cite examles of how the author’s choices in structuring the passage and the use of foreshadowing develop the element of surprise. Your response should be at least two complete paragraphs.
IF need the story I can post it just let me know

Answers

Final answer:

The author of 'A Modern Love Letter' creates surprise via careful structuring and foreshadowing that manipulates reader expectations and employs narrative hooks to generate impactful revelations.

Explanation:

In discussing how the author of “A Modern Love Letter” creates surprise, it is crucial to look at the story's structure and use of foreshadowing. The author's strategic placement of certain events and information can set the stage for unexpected turns in the narrative, thereby enhancing the surprise element. For example, the author might end a chapter on a subtle note that seems innocuous but later plays a significant role in an unforeseen twist. Such a technique piques the reader's curiosity and manipulates expectations, preparing them for a revelation that defies those expectations. The use of foreshadowing is also instrumental in building surprise. By planting subtle clues throughout the text, the author lures the reader into a false sense of knowing what will happen next, only to reveal a reality that is quite different, making the surprise more impactful because it contradicts the predictions that the foreshadowing had encouraged the reader to make.

The use of narrative hooks at the beginning or end of chapters is another effective way authors generate surprise. These hooks can pose questions or introduce curious scenarios that seem peripheral at the time but are later revealed to be integral to the story's climax or resolution. This not only maintains engagement but creates a satisfying moment of realization when the earlier details click into place. Paying close attention to how a text is divided, such as in an epistolary novel where the timing and content of the letters can be critical for surprises in the plot, is essential. When certain characters reveal or withhold information through their letters, this can have a profound impact on how the story unfolds and provides surprises for the reader as they piece together the underlying truths of the narrative.

Read the sentence. Marileta is staying with friends until she finds an apartment. What type of clause do the underlined words form? a noun clause a relative clause an adverbial clause an independent clause

Answers

adverbial clause

The adverbial clause in this sentence is "until she finds an apartment". This clause has it's own subject (she) and verb (finds), but it is dependent upon the rest of the sentence because of the subordinating conjunction "until". This clause also tells how long Marileta is staying with friends. Adverb clauses answer usually answer one of many questions including how long?

From the sentence, Marileta is staying with friends until she finds an apartment, it is seen that until she finds an apartment, the second clause is where one can find the adverbial clause.

Adverbial Clause

An adverbial clause is a group of words that form a dependent clause and also act as adverbs in a sentence. Adverb clause modifies the main verb in the independent clause.

The first part of the clause Marileta is staying with friends is an independent clause, supporting the dependent clause until she finds an apartment, which is the second clause.

Therefore, the correct answer is Adverbial clause.

The line 'With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls' is an example of a metaphor.

The line 'With love's light wings did I o'erperch these walls' is an example of a metaphor. A metaphor is a figure of speech that directly compares two unlike things without using 'like' or 'as'. In this case, love is being compared to wings, implying that love has the ability to make someone fly or overcome obstacles.

A metaphor is a figure of speech that involves making a direct comparison between two unrelated things, suggesting that they are alike in some way. Unlike a simile, which uses "like" or "as" to make comparisons, a metaphor asserts that one thing is another. Metaphors are often used to convey complex ideas, evoke emotions, or provide vivid imagery in language.

For example, the metaphor "time is a thief" suggests that time, like a thief, steals moments from our lives. In this case, time is not literally a thief, but the comparison helps convey the idea that time takes away moments in a way similar to how a thief takes possessions. Metaphors are powerful tools in literature, poetry, and everyday language, enriching communication by creating imaginative connections between different concepts.

What is with Mr. Hooper's sad or melancholy smile? Hawthorne mentions this many times. Why is he smiling like this and so frequently?

Answers

In Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Minister's Black Veil", Minister Hooper's sad or melancholic smile possesses many interpretations due to the nature of the story and the time it was written, so it doesn't hold a sole or exclusive signification. Among the different alternatives, there is:  

1. The sadness of being misunderstood on the message that he was trying to get across the people of the town (The idea was that everyone wears a veil - hiding behind a facade - to keep a secret or sin from society). The difference is that he did it on the outside instead that on the inside.

2. How people opted to fear, avoid or question him as soon as he started to wear the veil.

3. While he tried several times to explain the motives behind his veil wearing, the attempts were unsuccessful and after a while, he just chose to smile instead of trying to make his parishes understand his actions.

Final answer:

Mr. Hooper's melancholy smile symbolizes his inner turmoil and the recognition of life's pervasive sorrow, representing a deeper understanding of human struggles and imperfection as often depicted in works by Hawthorne.

Explanation:

In the context of the references provided, Mr. Hooper's melancholy smile represents a deep and pervasive sorrow or sadness that is present beneath the surface of the characters' experiences. This type of smile, which is mentioned repeatedly in works by Hawthorne and others, signifies a recognition of life's underlying struggles and the complexities of the human condition. The smile is not one of joy, but rather a telling sign of inner turmoil, a grim acknowledgment of imperfection, or perhaps a quiet resignation to the tragic aspects of existence.

Characters in literature who exhibit a melancholy smile are often carrying a heavy emotional or psychological burden, which affects their perception of the world and those around them. This smile can suggest an intimate understanding of the sadness that exists in life, a wisdom that comes from experience, or the cost of knowledge that they have acquired which separates them from others who might not be as aware or affected.
