Everywhere was a shadow of death. The farmers spoke of much illness among their families. In the town the doctors had become more and more puzzled by new kinds of sickness appearing among their patients. There had been several sudden and unexplained deaths, not only among adults but even among children, who would be stricken suddenly while at play and die within a few hours.

—Silent Spring,
Rachel Carson

describe the effect of blank verse in the poem how would the poem be different if frost had used a rhyming form?

Answers

Answer:

^^^^^^^^The use of blank verse makes the poem sound like everyday speech. Blank verse’s regular meter gives the poem a sense of structure and stability. If the poem had a rhyme scheme, it would not sound like people were talking normally. If the poem had a rhyme scheme, the rhyme might be distracting to the reader. Rhyme schemes can sound artificial.

Can anyone pls tell me if this sentence is correct "The ghost vanished before me" I would appreciate if u could answer me soon thankyou :)

Answers

Answer:

the sentence could possibly be correct in a very specific set of circumstances.

but in general terms it does not quite seem right

Details from the speech:

1) Dr. King’s life teaches many lessons.

2) Dr. King knew that he would probably not survive his struggle.

Meaning of the details:

1) The lessons of Dr. King will help people “truly be free at last.”

2) Heroes must accept that enormous sacrifices will be made in the name of justice.

Based on the meanings of the important details, what is most likely a theme of Chavez’s speech?
A hero in Dr. King’s time was different from a hero in Cesar Chavez’s time.
A hero knows when he has made enough progress and will call it quits.
A hero knows that fighting for justice is never easy but that making a difference is worth it.
A hero should make sacrifices for other people, but he should also stay safe.

What word best describes the tone of this excerpt from "The Fall of the House of Usher" by Edgar Allan Poe?
I looked upon the scene before me-upon the mere house, and the simple landscape features of the domain-upon the bleak walls-upon
the vacant eye-like windows-upon a few rank sedges-and upon a few white trunks of decayed trees-with an utter depression of soul
which I can compare to no earthly sensation more properly than to the after-dream of the reveller upon oplum--the bitter lapse into
everyday life—the hideous dropping off of the vell. There was an iciness, a sinking, a sickening of the heart-an unredeemed dreariness of
thought which no goading of the Imagination could torture into aught of the sublime. What was it-I paused to think-what was it that so
unnerved me in the contemplation of the House of Usher? It was a mystery all Insoluble; nor could I grapple with the shadowy fancies that
crowded upon me as I pondered. I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are
combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still, the analysis of this power lies among
considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the
details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilate its capacity for sorrowful Impression; and, acting upon this
idea, I reined my horse to the precipitous brink of a black and lurid tarn that lay in unruffled lustre by the dwelling, and gazed down-but
with a shudder even more thrilling than before-upon the remodelled and Inverted Images of the gray sedge, and the ghastly tree-stems,
and the vacant and eye-like windows.

Two independent sentences should be separated by a period or a semicolon. The second independent clause could also begin with a coordinating conjunction, such as "and," as long as a comma is placed before the coordinating conjunction, like in option D.

Around is an adverb of place, meaning that it indicates where something happens. In this example, the adverb also acts as a preposition followed by the noun "the country."
