It was on July 4, 1855, when Walt Whitman self-published his epic volume, Leaves of Grass, inspired by an essay by R.W. Emerson- The Poet. Despite Whitman’s enormous anticipation for his book, there were unfavorable criticism and sales were insignificant. However, everything turned over on July 21, the same year. Emerson puts down an informal letter for Whitman. This was extra-special because Emerson was not the muse for the book but was also one of the best literary tastemakers in American history.
What he expressed in the letter is clearly described in the paragraph below.
In the starting paragraph, Emerson thanks Whitman for his wonderful contribution to literature and America calling the tome ‘piece of wisdom and wit’. He then ridicules the lazy nature of the writers that lacks temperament and style while comparatively appreciating Walt. Finally, in this para, he states that he enjoyed the ‘incomparatively well’ creation and is delighted to see some inspiration for the future generation.
Moreover, in the second part of the letter, he appreciates the authors for his hard years of learning and wishes him a great career ahead. He then uses a metaphorical expression to celebrate Whitman’s success which claimed Ralph’s excitement for the new book. In support of this, he quotes different adjectives for clean-cut analysis of the work, namely, ‘solid sense’, ‘sober certainty’. He also says that the work has an intrinsic worth of invigorating and cheering the readers.
Moving on with the last section of the letter, we see the use of personal and interactive statements, like, “I didn’t ... until I.” He also suggests meeting the man in New York.
Overall, R.W. Emerson was highly influenced by the writings of W. Whitman and wanted to pay respect to a great piece of art. Personally, I feel that his other motives must have been the inclusion and involvement of other denizens in American literature.

Read the following passage. In 4–5 sentences, identify who wrote it. Support your choice with details about the content or style of the passage. Be sure to include at least three words or phrases (in quotation marks) from the passage to support your conclusions. (4 points)
"One day, when all our people were gone out to their works as usual, and only I and my dear sister were left to mind the house, two men and a woman got over our walls, and in a moment seized us both, and, without giving us time to cry out, or make resistance, they stopped our mouths, and ran off with us into the nearest wood. Here they tied our hands, and continued to carry us as far as they could, till night came on, when we reached a small house, where the robbers halted for refreshment, and spent the night. We were then unbound, but were unable to take any food; and, being quite overpowered by fatigue and grief, our only relief was some sleep, which allayed our misfortune for a short time. The next morning we left the house, and continued travelling all the day. For a long time we had kept the woods, but at last we came into a road which I believed I knew. I had now some hopes of being delivered; for we had advanced but a little way before I discovered some people at a distance, on which I began to cry out for their assistance; but my cries had no other effect than to make them tie me faster and stop my mouth, and then they put me into a large sack."
This passage makes us think of the story of an African slave for several reasons:
First, the fact that the person was kidnapped ("two men and a woman got over our walls, and in a moment seized us both, and, without giving us time to cry out, or make resistance, they stopped our mouths, and ran off with us into the nearest wood"). While kidnappings occur all over the world in various circumstances, the slave trade used them systematically in order to separate families and capture people that could be sold as slaves.
Also, slaves were often forced to walk long distances after being captured ("The next morning we left the house, and continued travelling all the day") because they had to get from their native region to the coast, where they could board ships to Europe and America.
Finally, the fact that he sees people at the end of his journey, but they do not help him makes us think that the practice is normalized, which was the case with slavery ("I began to cry out for their assistance; but my cries had no other effect than to make them tie me faster and stop my mouth").

10. Which sentence is punctuated correctly? “I have soccer practice first.” Evan thought, “then my violin lesson.” “I have soccer practice first,” Evan thought “then my violin lesson.” “I have soccer practice first,” Evan thought, “then my violin lesson.” “I have soccer practice first,” Evan thought. “then my violin lesson.”
“I have soccer practice first,” Evan thought, “then my violin lesson.”
Hope this helps:)The commas have to be there no matter what!!!
“I have soccer practice first,” Evan thought, “then my violin lesson.”
If the direct speech is placed at the beginning of the sentence, you have to put a comma before the final quotation mark. You don’t have to use a full stop here in this place. Example: “I have soccer practice first,”
Besides, you have to use a comma after the reporting clause. Example: Evan thought,
The terminal full stop (.) is used before the closing speech mark. Example: “then my violin lesson.”
It is important to state that quotation starts with a capital letter, except when it is interrupted by a reporting clause; in this case the first letter of the continuation (or second quotation) is not capitalised: “I have soccer practice first,” Evan thought, “then my violin lesson.”

Which two sentences best summarize this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "Dr. Heidegger's Experiment"?
His guests shivered again. A strange chillness, whether of the body or spirit they could not tell, was creeping gradually over them all. They gazed at one another, and fancied that each fleeting moment snatched away a charm, and left a deepening furrow where none had been before. Was it an illusion? Had the changes of a lifetime been crowded into so brief a space, and were they now four aged people, sitting with their old friend, Dr. Heidegger?
"Are we grown old again, so soon?" cried they, dolefully.
In truth they had. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine. The delirium which it created had effervesced away. Yes! they were old again. With a shuddering impulse, that showed her a woman still, the widow clasped her skinny hands before her face, and wished that the coffin-lid were over it, since it could be no longer beautiful.
"Yes, friends, ye are old again," said Dr. Heidegger, "and lo! the Water of Youth is all lavished on the ground. Well, I bemoan it not; for if the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments."
Answer:
The two answers are:
1. The Water of Youth possessed merely a virtue more transient than that of wine. The delirium which it created had effervesced away.
2. Well, I bemoan it not; for if the fountain gushed at my very doorstep, I would not stoop to bathe my lips in it; no, though its delirium were for years instead of moments."
Explanation:
The guests realize they have reverted to their old age after the effects of the Water of Youth fade. Dr. Heidegger, unfazed, maintains he wouldn't use the Water of Youth, signifying that beauty and vitality aren't a function of age.
Explanation:The two sentences that best summarize this excerpt from Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story 'Dr. Heidegger's Experiment' could be: 'The guests realize that the effects of the Water of Youth, which had made them temporarily young, have faded away, and they have returned to their old age. Dr. Heidegger reaffirms this and expresses his indifference towards the Water of Youth, stating he would not use it even if it were readily accessible.'
Through this scenario, Hawthorne presents a poignant exploration of the transient nature of youth and the inevitable reality of aging.
Dr. Heidegger's Experiment underscores the theme that true beauty and vitality come from within and not from transient physical youth. This summary encapsulates the eerie realization by the guests and Dr. Heidegger's indifference to the 'miraculous' Water of Youth.
