Answer:
The best answer to the question: Clara chose this excerpt to help support her interpretation of "The Caged Bird" because it has an extended metaphor that examines:___, would be: suffering.
Explanation:
"I Sit and Look Out" is a poem that was written by Walt Whitman and which makes part of the larger collection Leaves of Grass, published in 1900. This text speaks about the sufferings that the speaker sees in the world, as he does nothing more than observe such misery. "The Caged Bird", on the other hand, is a poem that was written by Maya Angelou, and it describes the life of a caged bird, its sadness and misery, the suffering the caged animal goes through, in comparisson with its counterpart that lives free. In both cases, we see one common denominator, and that is suffering, on one side, the suffering of so many people, and in the second, the silent suffering of a small bird that lives in a cage. This is why Clara could use Walt Whitman´s poem, and especially an excerpt of it, to analyzse Maya Angelou´s own poem; because both are related by the topic of suffering.
I believe my greates skill is drawing. Throughout my life, I have gone from a young child who scribbles with crayons to an artist interesting in the sketches of M.C. Esher and other artists. I think it hit me, that I loved drawing, when my lower school art teacher, (insert name), taught me about Henri Matisse. She had read us one of his books and I was enamored with the illustrations! I just couldnt get over it. I later came over to her and asked if I could borrow the book. She told me I had to take special care of it and return it the next day. Oh! How I was excited! I spent the rest of the day turning the pages and looking at the drawings, watching them come alive in my mind. My mother found me with the book later that night and promptly signed me up for a drawing class. Yes, that was the day a started my drawing career. I wish I remembered the book title! (Teachers name) really changed the way I viewed art and gave me the inpiration to improve my drawing.
Good luck and vote me brainiest!
The writer that greatly influenced Jane Austens's work was Samuel Johnson, which is known for his witty works. Like him, her novels are concerned with issues pertaining to morality. Also, Austen's work are known to make fun with cliches such as love at first sight, primacy of passion, etc.
The correct answers are
[<u>(b.) And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;]
</u>
<u>Thou know'st that this cannot be said</u>
and
[(d.) And pampered swells with one blood made of two;
And this, alas, is more than we would do.]
In this poem, the flea clearly symbolizes their love.
In the answer (b.), their bloods are mixed in this flea and this could metaphorically signify mixing their bodily fluids while engaging in intercourse.
In the answer (d.), it is clear that the speaker is denied intercourse with this woman and extends his argument from the sentence (b.) that their bloods mixed in the flee signify their physical union and that, despite what the society might suggest about her loss of virginity, there is nothing shameful about this act.
In the short story "An Uncomfortable Bed" by Guy de Maupassant, the speaker is greeted by his friends who are known for pranks, and their behavior was suspicious to him. He was so certain that they were going to prank him, that he anticipated it the entire day, taking so many precautions that it led to the comedic end; by avoiding the prank, he fell for it.
