Answer:

<em>he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth </em>

<em>the Moon rose big and full over the water</em>

Explanation:

Imagery is a method, or should we say a literary device, that uses figurative language filled with descriptions in order to help us create mental images of the text. It helps us, not just to read the text, but to experience it with all our senses. Imagery vividly describes how something looks like, sounds like, feels like, tastes like or smells like (uses our senses to describe something).

So, knowing this, best fitting answers would be:

- he breathed upon the great rocks and lumps of earth

- the Moon rose big and full over the water

Match the elements of analyzing a speech to the information about franklin d. Roosevelt’s “day of infamy” speech
jeka57 [31]

The Infamy Speech given by the United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt to the US Congress. The date was December 8, 1941, on the day after the Empire of Japan's attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

Taking into consideration the most important elements of analyzing a speech we can start by identifying the speaker's objectives:

What is the speaker’s goal and the primary message being delivered? This particular speech sets up examples of Japanese attacks not only to U.S. but also at other parts of the world, it quotes the names of the cities.  It's objective is to inform, to persuade and justify U.S. actions upon Japan's attack.

Other important things to take into account when analyzing a speech is the audience and the context for the Speech, where and when is the speech being delivered. And the key demographic features of the audience; which in this case are the american citizens. In addition to the live audience there was an external target audience: the mass world media.

For a good speech structure, In the speech opening there must be  a controversial statement; by saying: "A date which will live in infamy" that goal is accomplished.The body of the speech is organized logically as it follows bullets. He supported his arguments by providing examples of cities that where also under Japanese attacks.  

The conclusion of the speech is appropriate, as there is a call-to-action when he requested the Congress to declasre a state of war. The language is enthusiastic and connected to the audience because in general the language was appropriate for the audience, the speaker articulated clearly and the sentences were short and easy to understand.

Answer:

They may have inspired the author to make August's character strong enough to face the challenges of a new school with the loving support of his family.

Explanation:

The children's novel <em>Wonder </em>by Raquel Jaramillo tells the story of a physically deformed boy August "Auggie" Pullman. The whole plot revolves around his deformity and how he began to accept what he really is, despite the deformity. The story also delves into his relationship with his best friend Jack and his sister Olivia's frustration in having to sacrifice her needs to her brother's needs.

In Natalie Merchant's song <em>Wonder</em>, she sings about a girl who will make her way <em>"with love, with patience, and with faith"</em>. These very words may have inspired the author to make the young boy Auggie's character strong enough to be able to overcome the challenges that he will face in the new school. Added to that, the support of his loving family members, even his own sister Olivia will also help him face the challenges.
