There are two elements that go to the composition of friendship, each so sovereign, that I can detect no superiority in either, no reason why either should be first named. One is Truth. A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere. Before him, I may think aloud. I am arrived at last in the presence of a man so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought, which men never put off, and may deal with him with the simplicity and wholeness, with which one chemical atom meets another. Sincerity is the luxury allowed, but diadems and authority, only to the highest rank, that being permitted to speak truth as having none above it to court or conform unto. Every man alone is sincere. At the entrance of a second person, hypocrisy begins. We parry and fend the approach of our fellow-man by compliments, by gossip, by amusements, by affairs. We cover up our thought from him under a hundred folds. I knew a man who, under a certain religious frenzy, cast off this drapery, and omitting all compliments and commonplace, spoke to the conscience of every person he encountered, and that with great insight and beauty.

What is a central idea of the passage?

A.
Sacrifice and support are important to preserve true friendships.
B.
Mutual admiration and loyalty form the bond of real friendships.
C.
Integrity and compliments form trust required in real friendships.
D.
Honesty and authenticity are the foundation for true friendships.

Read the following poem, Dreams, by Langston Hughes. Can you identify a metaphor in the poem?

Dreams by Langston Hughes

x

Hold fast to dreams

For if dreams die

Life is a broken-winged bird

That cannot fly.

x

Hold fast to dreams

For when dreams go

Life is a barren field

Frozen with snow.

x

The poem contains structurally simple metaphors which follow the formula a is b. These can be found in both stanzas. The first contains this line:
Life is a broken-winged bird
While the second stanza contains the following line:
Life is a barren field

x

1. What is this metaphor referring to in this poem?

2. How do these metaphors work in relation to the poem's title, "Dreams?"

3. How is this description different from saying simply that when dreams are unfulfilled life is difficult?

4. How is it different from saying that a life without dreams is like a broken-winged bird? Would using a simile rather than a metaphor negate or weaken Hughes' poem?

5. What makes this an effective metaphor and why?

how can education build good personality?
(good answer pls)

Answers

education builds a good personality because you are more intelligent and that makes you more likable and when you have more friends you are happy and a happy person almost always has a good personality.

Explanation:

(My ELA teach gave us this for an idea make it better tho)

Answer:

By learning more and becoming more educated you can help with the whole arrogance problem around today. . Everyone thinks they know what they do and in all actuality they don't. so if you get more education you can learn to solve more problems and can think critically. you also become more social while being with people for your education .

I think personally that school helps build you it not only teaches you how to become better but it also helps you learn how to react to people. sorry if im jumping around but honestly i can see how it would make you a better person but not necessarily with a good personality.

question to reted you​

Answers

Explanation:

Parallelism is important in writing because it allows a writer to achieve a sense of rhythm and order. When sentence structures are not parallel, writing sounds awkward and choppy.

analyze tone and syntax "With flying fingers, he wove a rough carpet of weeds and branches, and with it, he covered the mouth of the pit. Then, wet with sweat and aching with tiredness, he crouched behind the stump of a lightning-charred tree. He knew his pursuer was coming; he heard the padding sound of feet on the soft earth, and the night breeze brought him the perfume of the general’s cigarette. It seemed to Rainsford that the general was coming with unusual swiftness; he was not feeling his way along, foot by foot. Rainsford, crouching there, could not see the general, nor could he see the pit. He lived a year in a minute." Pg. 72

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The text shown above presents a suspense tone, as it narrates a moment of learning where Rainford could be found and killed by the general at any time. This suspense is evidenced by the syntactic structure that the author decided to present in the text.

This is because the syntax refers to the construction of sentences with the correct use of words that are positioned in a logical way to represent a feeling for the reader.

The syntax of the text above, can convey fear and apprehension, because it uses words that make the reader perceive the general approaching his prey more and more, making the text totally unpredictable and exciting.

In at least one hundred words, discuss Orwell’s use of foreshadowing in Animal Farm. Use instances from the text to support your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Animal Farm makes heavy use of foreshadowing. Most of the plot’s main events are foreshadowed in the opening chapter. This foreshadowing emphasizes the inevitability of what happens, suggesting that violent revolution is doomed to fail, and that power always corrupts. Animal Farm’s foreshadowing also serves to place particular emphasis on the events Orwell saw as central to the failure of the Russian Revolution, and revolutions generally. The events most heavily foreshadowed are the different stages of the farm’s collapse into violence. Boxer’s death is foreshadowed in Chapter 7, when Napoleon’s dogs “go quite mad” and attack Boxer. Although Boxer is unharmed, this incident foreshadows Napoleon’s decision to have Boxer killed. Boxer’s death is also foreshadowed by the novella’s many references to the pasture that will be set apart for retired animals. As the pigs’ treachery unfolds, it becomes clear to the reader that the retirement pasture will never exist. As a result, every reference to Boxer’s retirement becomes an ironic foreshadowing of his betrayal and death. When Boxer himself looks forward to retiring, he is unwittingly foreshadowing that Napoleon will betray him, which emphasizes the cruelty of Napoleon’s deception.

Elements of Literature tone theme setting character plot point of View conflict When you have finished proofreading your essay, submit it to one of your peers for peer review. Make sure you use the rubric in order to complete your evaluation.

Answers

Answer:

Throughout each story, the characters try to prove something to themselves or other people. In Maureen Daly's short story "Sixteen" the narrator is clearly trying to prove to the reader that she is smart and popular. A very clear example of this occurs at the beginning of the story when the narrator is describing herself. Daly writes, "I mean, I want you to understand from the beginning that I'm not really so dumb. I know what a girl should do and what she shouldn't. I get around." When she says, "I want you to understand," she is clearly directing the statement at us, the reader. As she goes on to say that she is not really that dumb, her message clearly becomes an attempt to convince us that she is smart. Finally, when she says, "I get around," it appears as though she is trying to tell the reader that she is popular. Combining what has just been learned from the narrator's statements, She is trying to prove to someone her ethos: that she is smart enough and popular enough to be telling us a story about a boy.

he first dish was supposed to be creamy tomato soup; however, it was being prepared astoundingly slow in a kitchen supposedly renowned for excellent food and service. Today of all days, the restaurant decided to work at a snail’s pace to create any entrée. By the time the soup came out, it was already cold. The dish had great potential with its tomato base, but it was executed very poorly. The soup was just bland. The second course was grilled salmon with steamed vegetables. Again, this unremarkable dish was served cold and was under seasoned. The dessert course was unimpressive and lacked flavor. Overall, the experience at Le Pleut proved to be disappointing because its courses lacked all of the components to make a great meal.
