Can this poem be read backwards and make sense?
My Dear Mother
You’re appreciated
I just wanted to say
You’ve precisely demonstrated patience and
Renovated my life because
You challenged me with unabated love, you
Loved me before I knew you
You communicated with regal biddings and
Withdrew fleshly indulgences to bear witness in my life
You pay a costly price for you
Willingly choose to sacrifice iniquity for godly devices
You are loved, and appreciated because you
Speak with wisdom and
Maintain a household in an orderly system, you
Instruct faithfully as you work, you
Are slow to shirk your authorities and
You do not eat the bread of idleness; you’re among the prudent minority, and you,
I just wanted to say
You. Are. Appreciated.
The poem provided does not appear to make sense when read backwards.
The lines of the poem are structured to convey a message of appreciation and admiration for the mother's qualities and actions, and they build upon each other to create a coherent and heartfelt tribute. Reading the poem in reverse would disrupt the logical flow of ideas and the emotional impact that the poem aims to achieve.When reading a poem, the order of the lines is crucial for understanding the intended meaning and the poetic devices used, such as rhyme, rhythm, and metaphor. The poem is a unidirectional expression of gratitude and respect, with each line contributing to the overall message.To illustrate why the poem does not make sense when read backwards, let's consider the last few lines when reversed:
You are appreciated, and loved because you speak with wisdom and Maintain a household in an orderly system, you Instruct faithfully as you work. Are slow to shirk your authorities and You do not eat the bread of idleness; you're among the prudent minority, and you, I just wanted to say You. Are. Appreciated. If we reverse these lines, the expressions of appreciation and the qualities being praised would be presented before the statement of intent I just wanted to say , which would confuse the reader and obscure the poem's message. The poem's structure and the sequence of its ideas are intentional and contribute to its overall impact.
In conclusion, the poem is meant to be read forwards to convey the message of appreciation and love for the mother figure. Reading it backwards would not only disrupt the poetic structure but also the emotional and logical coherence of the tribute.

Read the passage and answer the question that follows.
No matter what people say, every act of kindness is in fact purely selfish. Even large gifts to charity feel good to the giver. Whatever beneficial effects to others these gifts produce, it is the personal satisfaction that motivates them. However, this does not mean that charity does no good. On the contrary, selfishly motivated giving has done a lot of good in the world.
Which word or phrase from the passage signals a contrasting thought?
"No matter"
"Whatever"
"However"
"On the contrary"
The correct answer is on the contrary.
If something is contrary, it means that it is the opposite, completely different from something else. If you want to show a contrasting (opposing, different) thought, then you can use the phrase on the contrary. You can state one thing, add on the contrary, and then explain something completely different.
Answer:
"On the contrary"
Explanation:
In this passage, the expression "on the contrary" indicates the introduction of a contrasting thought. This is because the phrase signals that the previous idea will be in opposition to the idea that is about to be presented. In this case, the first idea states that charity does no good because it is selfish. However, the second statement introduces the contrasting thought that selfishly motivated giving actually does a lot of good in the world.

when evaluating an adaptation, the reader should whether the adaptation matches both the meaning and the (blank) or attitude or the original
Final answer:
Evaluating an adaptation involves assessing whether it accurately captures the original work's meaning and tone while considering the reader's interaction with the text and ensuring relevance to contemporary contexts.
Explanation:
When evaluating an adaptation, the consideration of whether the adaptation accurately captures both the meaning and the tone or attitude of the original is essential. Tone, often influenced by specific language choices and stylistic nuances, should align with the source material to ensure that the reader-response criticism, which focuses on the interaction between reader and text, is respected. An adaptation might involve modifying the text to introduce contemporary cultural elements or design while still maintaining the original's cultural significance. Questions of fidelity to the original's intent, preservation of the original's attitude, and whether the adaptation is suited to the intended audience are all important for the adapter to consider.
It is also important to note that adaptations can occur in many forms, such as film, theater, literary rewrites, or even translations. The key concerns include maintaining the spirit and message of the original while making it accessible and relevant to the new context. Careful evaluation of adaptations often requires a deep understanding of the original work as well as the context of the adaptation.

For this kind of commodity will not bear exportation, and flesh being of too tender a consistence, to admit a long continuance in salt, although perhaps I could name a country, which would be glad to eat up our whole nation without it.

In the story "The Black Cat," how does the narrator use foreshadowing to create suspense? A.He never explains where the first black cat came from. B.He tells the events in chronological order and with a lot of detail. C.He mentions his wife's comment that black cats are believed to be witches in disguise. D.He explains that he loves animals and compares that with his wife's feelings.
The correct response is “B. He tells the events in chronological order and with a lot of detail.”
The story begins with the words “Tomorrow I die! Tomorrow I die, and today I want to tell the world what happened...” This creates suspense because it intrigues readers to want to know why he will die. Because he is violent, it can be assumed that he will be punished, by death, for some crime; however, the reason is not disclosed until the almost the very end of the story. Thus, because events are told in chronological order and with a lot of detail, it makes this short story seem much longer than it really is because of the anticipation (and suspense) caused by the Poe’s use of foreshadowing.
Answer:
C. He mentions his wife's comment that black cats are believed to be witches in disguise

Which example supports the idea that Maya resembles her mother? A. Maya hardly remembers directions. B. Maya is bold and fearless like her. C. Maya likes to listen to the radio. D. Maya sings and talks to herself.The Summer of Rain by A. Gautam Maya looked at the overcast sky and hesitated before stepping out. She looked back to the bed where her little brother lay sleeping. Mihir had been in bed for the last two days. The fever had gone down, but he still appeared pale as buffalo's milk. His eyes were the color of turmeric powder. Although Mihir was eating and keeping his food down, Maya knew that he needed another dosage of medicine. The city doctor was far away, and Maya vaguely remembered his address. Maya rushed to the bed to feel Mihir's forehead one last time and decided to leave for the city. She had been unable to make up her mind the whole morning. I have to go now if I want to be home by sunset, Maya thought to herself and ordered her mind to be calm. After leaving several notes explaining the whereabouts of the food, juice, and herself all over Mihir's room, Maya wrapped the shawl tightly around her arms. She locked the house from the outside and left. After walking a few blocks, Maya remembered that she needed her rubber boots and umbrella. Maya said a few inaudible words of anger at her lack of attention, rushed back to the porch where she had left the umbrella and her boots, and resumed her journey with quicker steps. Maya had no idea that she could almost run in those awkward boots when she needed to. The whole time she was walking toward the city, Maya fretted over the important things she might have forgotten to do. Her feet mechanically moved in the direction of her destination. She failed to notice that not even stray dogs were out in this weather. It doesn't even feel like summer, Maya thought, wishing she had worn a jacket instead of her mother's shawl. The sun was nowhere to be seen among the grey clouds, and Maya had already lost the track of time. "In the monsoon months It rains to make me wet How to I console My one lonely heart?" Maya started singing so she would not feel alone. Now, she had understood why her mother always sang while doing chores. She would sing while doing dishes, cooking, or cleaning the house. Wow! Ma sings all the time, Maya realized. Because her mother sang so much, her house had felt unusually quiet without her. If I had brought along the radio, I would have at least known when they unblocked the roads! Maya laughed thinking of all the things she planned on carrying for one trip she was taking to the city. "Like I am going on a voyage!" she said out loud and thought about her mother who often spoke to herself—accidentally. "Take care of each other, we'll be back in two days," Maya remembered her mother's words. Two days have turned into four long ones, Ma! she thought and realized that her feet had carried her to the city. She found herself standing near the auto rickshaw stop and talking to several drivers. Only one driver agreed to take her all the way to Dr. Ram's clinic. Maya asked about the auto rickshaw fare in advance because she had to spare enough money for the medicine. She also asked him if he was certain about the location of the clinic. "The doctor Ram's clinic? Forty Rupees," the driver said and looked curiously at her. "And, I know about every street in Kathmandu." Only at that moment did she realize that it was not a good idea for a girl to get in an auto rickshaw alone. "No thanks! But, can you give me directions to go there?" she asked. "How about you split the fare with another customer going that way? It will take you at least two hours to get there on foot. I will make sure you share the seat with a lady," the driver said. Maya contemplated about the offer when an elderly woman approached the driver and asked him if he could take her to Thimi. "Hey, girl, the clinic is on the way to Thimi! I won't even charge you for the fare if the lady agrees. I will try to find a customer coming back this way so I can drop you here when you are done at the clinic. You can split the fare again. I am not this kind every day so hop in before it rains," the driver said, smiling. "Yeah. I don't mind, but you have to hurry up. It will rain soon," the woman persuaded Maya. "Will you put on the radio while we go there? I have to hear the news about the landslide," Maya asked the driver and climbed in to the auto rickshaw. "I didn't know people in the city are also nice like us." "Sure," the driver said as he started the engine and turned on the radio. "I am also from the countryside, though. Why is a young girl like you out alone in this weather anyway?" "My brother is sick. I have to get him medicine," Maya replied. As she carefully listened to the news on the radio, she smiled. The blockade was over. Now, her parents could be home by tonight. She hoped to be home before they did so she could give Mihir one more dose of the medicine.
The passage suggests that Maya is bold and fearless like her mother, as she decides to go out alone to get medicine for her brother.
Explanation:Based on the provided passage from "The Summer of Rain" by A. Gautam, the example that supports the idea that Maya resembles her mother is B. Maya is bold and fearless like her. While the text does mention that Maya sings and talks to herself, like her mother, it is her boldness and fearlessness in venturing out alone to get medicine for her brother that is a clear indication of her similarity to her mother. This trait is essential in the context of the story as it demonstrates Maya taking on a significant responsibility and showing courage, much like her mother likely would.
In at least one hundred words, how does the analogy help the reader to understand the meaning of the word arable in this excerpt?
Answer & Explanation:
This excerpt is from George Orwell's Animal Farm.
An analogy is a comparison of two words on one side to two words on another side. An analogy has to be consistent. So if one side says dead is to alive the other must match, with two words that are opposites, or antonyms. Clouded and vague are synonyms, which means that arable and fertile also have to be synonyms. Since the reader knows fertile means good land to plant crops on, we can say that arable means fertile, or good for planting crops on.

Which line in this excerpt from Richard Connell's “The Most Dangerous Game” uses personification?
"The old charts call it `Ship-Trap Island,"' Whitney replied. “A suggestive name, isn't it? Sailors have a curious dread of the place. I don't know why. Some superstition—-"
"Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.
"You've good eyes," said Whitney, with a laugh, "andI've seen you pick off a moose moving in the brown fall bush at four hundred yards, but even you can't see four miles or so through a moonless Caribbean night."
"Nor four yards," admitted Rainsford. "Ugh! It's like moist black velvet."
Answer: B) "Can't see it," remarked Rainsford, trying to peer through the dank tropical night that was palpable as it pressed its thick warm blackness in upon the yacht.
Explanation: personification is a figure of speech that consists in giving human characteristics to non human objects (or animals), in order to give an example of something or to create an image. From the given lines of "The Most Dangerous Game" the one that uses personification is the corresponding to option B, because it says that the night (non human object) was palpable and was pressing its blackness in upon the yacht (human characteristics).
what advantages do images have over printed text in journalistic reporting?
Images in journalistic reporting process faster than text, transcend language barriers, and effectively convey powerful messages, making them a vital aspect of modern journalism that can communicate complex stories quickly and universally.
Images in journalistic reporting have several advantages over printed text. One significant benefit is the rapid speed at which humans can process visual information. Studies indicate that visual images are processed thousands of times faster than text, making the delivery of news through images much more efficient and immediate. Moreover, images possess a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers, facilitating broader understanding and appeal.
Photographs and other visuals in journalism are not only effective in conveying powerful messages and emotions but also in aiding memory and retention of information. They can also initiate empathy and draw attention to important issues, as demonstrated by their impact on global news stories such as natural disasters and political events. Finally, visuals support metacognition and can easily span cultures and languages, unlike text that may require translation and is influenced by cultural contexts.
However, it's essential to approach news images critically, understanding they can be manipulated or present a biased perspective. Journalistic visuals must also be interpreted within context, as they may not always convey the full story or may emphasize certain aspects over others.
