Read the excerpt from "How I Learned English.”

So it was not impossible that I,
Banished to the outfield and daydreaming
Of water, or a hotel in the mountains,
Would suddenly find myself in the path
Of a ball stung by Joe Barone.
I watched it closing in
Clean and untouched, transfixed
By its easy arc before it hit
My forehead with a thud.

How is this excerpt important to the poem as a whole?

It introduces the problem the speaker has playing his baseball position.
It shows why the speaker does not like playing baseball.
It shows how the speaker’s feelings about himself begin to change.
It develops the idea that the speaker feels like an outsider with the other boys.

What is considered good or bad propaganda?

Answers

Answer:

The objectives of the propagandist are sometimes positive. The Smokey Bear Wildfire Prevention campaign is a form of propaganda. These advertisements make an emotional plea – don’t be careless with fire or cute woodland creatures may be harmed. The campaign was incredibly successful in preventing forest fires, but it may also have contributed to the public’s aversion to controlled burning.

No matter how harmless it appears, propaganda should always be scrutinized, as it promotes decision making and action based on limited, sometimes false, information and emotional appeal. Propaganda targets and manipulates our emotions without the benefit of two-way communication or fact-based debate.

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,


C. And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

In this unit, you analyzed how authors develop characters within their stories. Authors often try to create characters that readers will find relatable. These characters often have qualities that readers may already have or wish they had. Imagine that you're writing a novel in your favorite genre (for example, adventure, science fiction, mystery). Describe the characters, setting, and plot of the novel. Who would be the protagonist, or main character, of your story? What qualities would this character have? Do you possess any of these qualities? Do you wish you had any of these qualities.

Answers

I don’t really know the format for this but I’ll try to give some ideas.
The genre could be whatever you like but for me it’s fantasy.
The plot is about demons conquering the realm and the character is a very powerful magic holder.
The character that I always dreamt of is someone who is kind, brave and always puts others first. They are calm and rarely gets angry. When they are angry they would be very quiet, almost not saying a word. They are also very funny when they are with their friends. They are good listeners and they are smart. They are diligent students and respectful.
I know it’s not much but I hope I donated some ideas to you

Answers

Answer:

The theme of "The Queen Bee"by Carl Ewald was on Hardwork. This is because, the other bees wanted not to work for the farmer but to go out there in the field for other things but was called back by the Queen bee.

The theme of a story is what the author is trying to convey — in other words, the central idea of the story. Short stories often have just one theme, whereas novels usually have multiple themes.

The Secret Life of Bees demonstrates the irrationality of racism by not only portraying black and white characters with dignity and humanity but by also demonstrating how Lily struggles with—and ultimately overcomes—her own racism.
