<span>But O heart! heart! heart!
   O the bleeding drops of red,
      Where on the deck my Captain lies,
         Fallen cold and dead.</span>

<span>The sailor calls out again, but this time it isn’t for the captain.He belts out the word “heart,” and this could mean that he is shouting out a) to his captain to keep heart, as in not to give up, or b) to his own heart, as if in pain. <span>We think you can read this either way. If you read it the first way, with the heart representing the captain’s will, then you’re dealing with a symbol, as some part of the captain is used to represent an abstract quality (his will or courage).</span><span>If you read it the second way, though, and think the speaker is calling out to his own heart, then you’ve got an apostrophe on your hands, friend-o. This is a call to an abstract thing that can’t possibly answer back. It’s a cliché to speak from the heart, but, really, hearts have no mouths, so they don’t speak very well.</span>When you think heart, though, you do think blood. It turns out that there is a lot of it here.<span>All of a sudden, drops of blood are on the deck of the ship, and the speaker notices that his captain is dead. </span></span>

I would sell ice-scream in the Arctic by focusing more about the taste of the ice-scream, instead of the temperature of the ice-scream. And persuading them into wanting to taste what I’m talking about.

Compare how Chesterton and the author of “The Instinct that Makes People Rich” interpret the Midas myth. How do these different
leva [86]
The writer of "The Instinct that Makes People Rich" interprets the Midas myth as the story of a man who could not fail.

Chesterton, however, says that Midas DID fail. He starved because he could not eat gold.

Chesterton says that success always comes at the sacrifice of something else, something "domestic." (By this he means that, yes, a millionaire has money but will lack something else, like love or friendship, etc.) He says that people who think Midas succeeded are just like the author of the article -- both worship money.

Chesterton says that worshipping money has nothing to do with success and everything to do with snobbery.

<span>1)The words from the passage above which indicate best that the passage has been written to engage the reader are D. “Waking,” “ambled,” and “gather”. You have to weigh up the semantic load of each option and you will see that option D contains semantic sequence which brings an image to a reader, you can understand the action of event by the keywords as it has the verb, part of relative clause and an adjective. 2) The reason which an author would most likely have for using description in a literary work is B. I and III. Basically, description is an essential point of every literary work as authors represents an event or character in detailed and particular way. That makes reader understand the mood of a story. Obviously, most of description contain author’s opinion about it as he represents things in the way he understands them. 3) The satirical element which is most dominant in the passage above is B.innuendo. Innuendo is a form of satire that mostly has a shape of criticism and reflects negative, disparaging or salacious tone. As you can see, the character that tells about his wife totally neglects her, and the tone of passage is derogatory. 4) The information about the Luggnaggians which the narrator (Gulliver) provides to his audience (English people) is B.their traditional customs. At some point of the story, Gulliver gives his opinion towards points of views of Luggnaggians by describing it in order to make his audience learn the possible mistakes of others and not to repeat them. 5) The phrase which defines “understatement” best is B.the presentation of something as less significant than it is. As a matter of fact, understatement is a figure of speech which authors use to make reader think that some things are less important that they actually are. It is actually a key to further unexpected twist, but it is well-hidden, so a reader will be surprised as he read a story. 6) The way how the passage above reflects the typical plot that appears in travel narratives is A. A quick summary of the history of an event is a common plot element of travel narratives. An author usually includes many events summed-up, as travel narratives contain many stories and they shouldn’t heap up a reader.</span>
