What connection does the author draw between poetry and the ability for people to understand the world around them?
Answer:
They use figurative language.
Explanation:
Figurative language can create a connection between words on the page and the world around them by linking the senses to concrete ideas. For example: simile, metaphor, personification.
What argument is Susan B. Anthony making in the passage?
In what way does personification require empathy in the poet?
A. Personification means writing directly about feelings rather than
things.
O B. Personification requires the poet to imagine how something else
might feel.
C. Personification inspires the reader to have more emotion toward
other people.
D. Personification is more emotional than other types of figurative
language.
Answer: B
Personification is giving human attributes to an object. In order to do that, the poet must have an idea of how they want to portray an object by indirectly comparing it using a human action. The poet must create a mood with the personification and stir some emotion or understanding in the reader which is why they need to have a good idea of how the object would feel or act
I gave my parents such a hard time.
I wish I ______.
Answer:
hh
Explanation:
The complete sentence would be: "I wish I hadn't." In this context, "hadn't" is a contraction of "had not." It indicates that the speaker regrets their past actions of giving their parents a hard time and wishes that they had not done so.
The past perfect tense, which is created by combining the auxiliary verb "had" with the past tense of the main verb, is where the term "hadn't" appears. Although the main verb is missing in this instance, it is clear that it refers to the previously in the context described action or behaviour.
When someone says, "I wish I hadn't," they are expressing their desire to amend or reverse their behaviour of being difficult to their parents. They express sorrow for the problems they brought about and a desire to have done things differently in the past.
The term "hadn't" in this sentence emphasises how speculative or hypothetical the assertion is. It implies that the speaker is thinking back on their past deeds and expressing a desire for things to have been different.

2 thoroughly analyzed quotes analyzed by showing elements of transcendentalism and romanticism.
Name of Lit. Movement: Philosophy of individualism, conformity, and self reliance
The author introduces that Chris went from living a normal and safe life back in West Virginia, he decides to do something out of his comfort zone and leave his home and hitchhike his way all the way to Alaska
“Chris admitted that the only food in his pack was a ten-pound bag of rice. His gear seemed exceedingly minimal for the harsh conditions of the interior which in April still lay buried under the winter snowpack. Chris’ cheap leather hiking boots were neither waterproof nor well insulated.” (5)
Chris is not too sure of what lies ahead or what to expect he know that he has to take a leap in order to do what he wants. Traveling alone and with minimal supplies, he figures that it will teach him how to work independently in a certain situation. He wanted to experience something new even if it went against what others said.
Name of Lit. Movement: A call to the individual to seek spiritual, not material, greatness
In this section, we find out Chris had already been going out in nature to hopefully one day go to Alaska on his expedition. After Chris’s parents got him a new Car that’s when Chris was at his peak and just decided to leave home.
“It was the first present she had received from her son in more than two years, since he had announced to his parents, on principle, he would no longer give or accept gifs...In the years since, he’d been in the habit of taking extended solo road trips his exact words were “I think I’m going to disappear for awhile’” (20-21)
Chris later went on to tell his parents that he would be disappearing for a whole and his parents did not make much of it. Although his family was good financially, Chris did not want to travel around the country and immerse himself in nature. He wanted to learn more about himself and so he out himself into challenging situations.

Which key idea does Zitkala-Sa develop in “School Days of an Indian Girl”?
1. Zitkala-Sa is shunned by members of the Dakota community for adopting the language and behaviors of another culture.
2. Acts of rebellion help Zitkala-Sa maintain her pride in who she is as a person and as a member of the Dakota nation.
3. Once Zitkala-Sa returns home, she realizes she misses the life she led as a student at the school run by white people.
4. The continual disrespect Zitkala-Sa experiences weakens her spirit, so she chooses to conform rather than resist.
Question 2
Part B
Which details from the text best help to develop the key idea in Part A?
Select the two correct answers.
1. “Within a week I was again actively testing the chains which tightly bound my individuality like a mummy for burial.”
2. "'No, I will not submit! I will struggle first!' I answered."
3. “Though I was sullen in all my little troubles, as soon as I felt better I was ready again to smile upon the cruel woman.”
4. “At these gatherings they talked English. I could speak English almost as well as my brother, but I was not properly dressed to be taken along.”
The main idea developed in the text is that the continued disrespect that Zitkala-sa suffered weakened her spirit and caused her to conform instead of giving up, as shown in option 4.
This answer is supported by the following sentences:
“Within a week I was again actively testing the chains which tightly bound my individuality like a mummy for burial.” “Though I was sullen in all my little troubles, as soon as I felt better I was ready again to smile upon the cruel woman.”We can arrive at these answers because:
“School Days of an Indian Girl” is Zitkala-Sa's memoir, where she shows the abuse and disrespect she suffered when she was taken to an English boarding school for Native Americans.Zitkala-Sa claims that she and the other natives were forced to abandon their customs, culture, religion, and language to adopt English customs and concepts.When Zitkala-Sa refuses to abandon her culture, she is heavily punished, which causes her to conform and give in to the pressure of cultural suppression.An example of this can be seen at the time when Zitkala-Sa was forced to cut her long hair, as it was not common in English children. Zitkala-Sa resisted this and was punished to the point of yielding.
Her haircut made her feel that her spirit was weak and that she couldn't register the disrespect she was experiencing.

The Gifts Of Feodor Himkoff Summery
Answer:
(Hope this helps can I pls have brainlist (crown)☺️)
Explanation:
"The Gifts of Feodor Himkoff", is a very heart touching story by Arthur Quiller. It is narrated in the first person. The narrator is a frequent visitor to a coastal area called Zoze Point. It is a difficult place to reach. He recalls of one of his visits in cold December.
He had been walking continuously for four days and was totally worn out. He wanted a cup of warm milk to keep him alive when he chanced upon a small cottage with a fire burning. As he knocked at the door shyly he was greeted by a poorly clad old lady. The woman invited him inside and offered him a cup of tea. There was an old deaf man slouched in a chair. He was Isaac, the woman’s ailing husband.
The woman served him a very high quality tea complemented with rich dainties. When the narrator asked from where the gourmet came she narrated the story of the gifts of Feodor Himkoff.
Long ago Isaac had lost his only son. He was a soldier brutally killed by the Russians. Ever since, Isaac had vowed that he would slew every Russian he saw to avenge his son’s death. Some years later a Russian soldier with the middle finger of his hand missing, had knocked at his door in search of shelter. He and fifteen soldiers were badly injured and had been shipwrecked. Isaac cruelly refused shelter and all the Russians perished. Next day onwards Isaac went to the shore and buried the bodies that floated ashore.
A few years letter Feodor Himkoff, the brother of the soldier with the missing finger came to meet Isaac. He had come to thank him for giving his brother and his crew a peaceful burial. Ever since he had been sending the rich gifts to Isaac. As a deed of redemption Isaac and his wife did not touch the gifts but served them to all the weary travellers who sought shelter in their warm cottage. They no longer refused any one shelter.
