What deprivation does Robinson Crusoe complain about most often during his stay on the island?
ElenaW [278]
<span>Crusoe is deprived of his fortune while nevertheless retaining his faith in Providence. This passage also showcases Crusoe’s characteristic neutral tone—the detached, deadpan style in which he narrates even thrilling events. Although he reports that the emotional effects make his heart flutter, he displays very little emotion in the passage, certainly not the joy expected of someone who suddenly becomes wealthy. </span>

In at least 150 words, describe how the style and technique of "Grass" contribute to its overall meaning.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The author uses anaphoras, free verse and personification

Explanation:

The style and technique used by Carl Salsburg in this poem is a free verse style, using anaphoras to create emphasis and personification.

To use free verse means that within the poem, there is no regular rhyme scheme or meter.

Also, anaphoras are a form of creating emphasis in the poem, by repeating certain verses like "Shovel them under and let me work, I am the grass; I cover all."  Similarly, the author enlists some battlefields across Europe, using the same format. "Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. And pile them high at Gettysburg, And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. " Without the constant repetition, the reader may overlook the focal point of the poem.

Last, the personification of the grass in the poem. By talking like a person and acting out, the grass creates symbolism with emotional meaning.  It is about life after death, the constant change of life and the forgetfulness.

Without all these elements the poem wouldn't have the meaning that it does, the depth that the author communicates.

Match the fallacy with its name. Your grandfather died in World War II; you of all people should support veterans.
RoseWind [281]

Answer:

The fallacy is that veterans should be supported.

Explanation:

Fallacies are mistaken beliefs. Things that people believe in that don't make sense. In this passage, the narrator is saying to another person that all people should support veterans(people who were in a war) because their grandfather was killed in World war 2. But, that means that the grandfather was <em>killed by a veteran</em>! This doesn't make sense. The fallacy is that veterans should be supported.
