Spring
BY EDNA ST. VINCENT MILLAY
To what purpose, April, do you return again?
Beauty is not enough.
You can no longer quiet me with the redness
Of little leaves opening stickily.
I know what I know.
The sun is hot on my neck as I observe
The spikes of the crocus.
The smell of the earth is good.
It is apparent that there is no death.
But what does that signify?
Not only under ground are the brains of men
Eaten by maggots.
Life in itself
Is nothing,
An empty cup, a flight of uncarpeted stairs.
It is not enough that yearly, down this hill,
April
Comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers.

Answers

Answer 1

   Spring by Edna St. Vincent Millay is a poem about April spring, its a comedic take on her own experience with spring. Edna writes in this poem about how behind the beauty of the world, there is disgustingness; but making art out of the bad of the world, generates new beauty.

Hope this was good enough :)

PARAPHRASE THE POEM

Two Butterflies went out at Noon–
And waltzed above a Farm-
Then stepped straight through the
Firmament
And rested on a Beam-
And then-together bore away
Upon a shining Sea-
Though never yet, in any Port-
Their coming mentioned-be-
If spoken by the distant Bird
If met in Ether Sea
By Frigate, or by Merchantman-
No notice-was-to me

-capture the literal meaning of words not an analysis or figurative language representation of the poem! I’m really struggling with this!!!

Answers

Answer:

This poem describes two butterflies that went out at noon, And waltzed above a stream. Thereafter, they took an upward motion and headed towards the “shining sea,” a metaphorical reference to heaven. While reading this section, it seems that the description is some kind of dream vision the poet had. However, in the last section of the poem, Dickinson broods over where they had gone. She thinks a distant bird or a merchantman had seen them. But, she was not reported about their location.

D i believe if not d then possibly b

From the Salvation excerpt, the imagery in this passage to communicate about Hughe is like that It highlights the pressure he felt to make a decision. Thus, option D is correct.

What is the Salvation?

The concept of being saved or shielded from harm or a catastrophic circumstance is known as salvation. In religion and psychology, salvation often refers to the release of the soul from the penalties of sin.

Soteriology is the academic study of salvation. Deliverance from essentially negative situations, such as pain, evil, death, or moksha, or the restoration or exaltation of the natural world to a higher, better state, as defined in religion.

Langston Hughes writes in “Salvation” on his experience of losing trust in Jesus Christ and the Christian conception of deliverance when he was twelve years old.

Therefore, option D is correct, that the imagery in this section to explain about Hughe is similar to that in the Salvation extract. It emphasizes the pressure he felt to make a choice.

Answer:

i dont know sorry

Explanation:

Select the two correct answers to this please!

Answers

After reading the options, we can select the following two to support the main idea that there were fewer opportunities for African Americans to receive an education and find good jobs when Katherine was young:

2. Though Katherine graduated with honors with a math degree in 1937, she was not hired to work for NACA until 1953.

3. Katherine and her siblings had to move 120 miles away in order to attend high school.

We are looking for evidence that supports the idea that African Americans did not have plenty of education and job opportunities.

We can readily eliminate options 1 and 4 since they do not directly relate to the idea we are trying to support.

Option 2 is correct because it shows that, despite graduating with honors, being an African American prevented Katherine Johnson from getting the job for a long time.

Option 3 is also correct because it shows that, in order to receive an education, an African American family such as Katherine's would often have to relocate to far away.

With that in mind, we can choose numbers 2 and 3 as the best options.

Which phrase in passage 1 tell us the most about lonnie's character how he approaches new experiences?

Answers

The phrase in passage 1 that tells us the most about Lonnie's character and how he approaches new experiences is:

A. "When Celeste had emailed to ask him to meet her train, his first instinct had been to say no." (paragraph 1)

The fact that Lonnie is hesitant about meeting Celeste at the station reveals a lot about his character. The two were friends when they were kids, but have only kept in touch via email after growing up. Now that Celeste wants to see him again, Lonnie thinks of saying no.That shows Lonnie prefers to avoid new experiences. He most likely enjoys sticking to what he already knows well, to events and people that he can predict.Since he cannot predict what will happen when he finally meets Celeste after so long, Lonnie feels reluctant.With that in mind, we choose letter A as the best option.

The answer choices for this question are the following:

A. "When Celeste had emailed to ask him to meet her train, his first instinct had been to say no." (paragraph 1)

B. "So here he was, waiting." (paragraph 1)

C. "Instead, he was waiting for someone he hadn't seen in years." (paragraph 1)

D. "Plus, all his friends had gone to this awesome film festival downtown, and he'd to skip it." (paragraph 1)

What is the essay’s thesis? Is it explicit or implied? How could the thesis be stated more effectively? Does it have a Rogerian thesis, which states the opposing view first and then the author’s argument and position?



Is the Rogerian theory used in the essay? Does the essay mention the opposing viewpoint along with an unbiased restatement of that view and enough detail to show the reader both sides of the issue? If not, what does the author need to add for support?





What purpose does the essay serve—to inform, to evaluate, to persuade readers to accept a viewpoint, to eliminate misconceptions, or to call them to action?


What are the main points supporting the thesis? List the points. Is each supporting point developed sufficiently in the body paragraphs? If not, where is more support needed? Which points, subject, or paragraphs need more support?




Does the essay have Logos? Is it a sound, reasonable, logical argument, which is supported by facts, statistics etc.? If not, what does the author need to add?


Does the essay use Pathos? Do they use it well and is it effective? Or over-the-top? Is it appropriate for the audience? If not, what do they need to do?


Does the essay show Ethos? Is the author reliable and credible? If not, tell the author what they need to add into their essay or take out, which help make them more credible.


Does each paragraph have a topic sentence that tells the reader what point will be talked about next. If not, point out where they were weak and offer a suggestion.

Where would signal devices (also, likewise, in contrast) make it easier to see similarities and differences between the subjects being discussed?

Are there transitions within the topic sentences? Are they redundant or confusing? If so, where and how should they fix them?

What is the tone? Does the essay come off as condescending, sexist, or racist? If so, which sentences and words convey this tone? Offer suggestions on how to adjust the tone of the essay.



Could the Introduction or Conclusion paragraphs be strengthened? If so, what is your suggestion? Is there an anecdote, fact, or statistic in the paper that could be moved to the conclusion?

Did you notice glaring misspellings, misplaced modifiers, fragments, run-ons, or punctuation mistakes? If so, circle them on their essay.

What are some of the strengths of this essay? What did this author do well?

Answers

Answer:

What is a thesis? • The thesis is a statement (usually a single sentence) that expresses the central idea or main argument of the

essay and reflects the writer’s purpose for writing it.

• It typically appears at the end of the introduction as the last sentence (though it may appear elsewhere).

• The thesis may be implied or explicitly stated, but it should always be evident to the reader.

• The thesis may differ in form depending on the type of writing (argumentative, persuasive, informative,

narrative, etc.).

• The thesis should be restated in a new and interesting way in the conclusion.

Explicit vs. Implied • An explicit thesis directly states the writer’s main idea/position and provides a clear direction for the essay.

 Example: The most significant problems facing Africa are poverty, political corruption, and poor

healthcare.

• An implied thesis is not directly stated, but rather suggested through the writer’s ideas and supporting

points. Nonetheless, it should still provide an obvious focus for the reader.

 Example: There are several serious problems facing Africa today that require attention.

Parts of a thesis (claim + road map): • Claim or main idea: This part states the main idea of the essay.

 Example: Being a vegetarian is better than eating meat . . .

• Road map: This part lists the major supporting reason(s) discussed in the body of the essay. Note

that not all instructors require this part; always consult your professor’s instructions.

 Example: . . . because it is healthier, less expensive, and doesn’t harm animals.

• Claim + Road Map = Entire Thesis Statement

 Example: Being a vegetarian is better than eating meat because it is healthier, less expensive,

and doesn’t harm animals.

Things to Avoid • Don’t announce your thesis: In this essay, I am going to tell you about vegetarianism and why everyone

should adopt this lifestyle.

 Note: Some instructors may, however, encourage this type of first-person statement; always refer

to your professor’s instructions.

• Don’t confuse your readers: The thesis should be clear and focus on ONE main idea.

• Don’t write the thesis as a fact: This doesn’t allow the writer to develop their ideas or prove anything

because the statement is already factual and does not require additional explanation.

• Don’t write the thesis as a question: This allows readers, rather than the writer, to determine the meaning

of the essay. For example, Don’t you think eating meat is inhumane? may be more effectively restated as

Eating meat is inhumane because . . .

Types of Thesis Statements

The purpose and form of a thesis may depend on the genre of writing.

Argumentative Thesis

• The argumentative thesis takes a clear position on a debatable issue/topic and suggests or states the

supporting reason(s) for that stance, which will be discussed further in the body of the essay.

 Example: A vegetarian diet is better than a diet that includes meat because a vegetarian diet is

healthier, less expensive, and more humane toward animals.
