In the Michio Kaku's book, Visions, he states that we are continuing to rush ahead. To prove that, he says “In the past decade more scientific knowledge has been created than in all of human history.” Since we are so advance, we don't need to be observers "of the dance of Nature". We have moved “from being passive observers of Nature to being active choreographers of Nature.” We are no longer discovering, now we are creating. Conserning future predictions Kaku says to listen to "those who create it".
Answer:
"she expressed<em> them </em>imperfectly”
Explanation:
The speaker is not complying with concord. Her reference is ,realised by <em>them</em>, ambiguous. <em>Them</em> lacks any reference if we move backwards in the excerpt. We may assume <em>them</em> refers to what she had to say,but <em>it</em> shoudl have been used , instead. However, <em>them</em> may refer to <em>thoughts</em> that comes later in the excerpt:"She expressed<em> them</em> imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.", in these sentences ,which are not coherently linked , we infer that <em>them</em> is referring to <em>thoughts.</em>
Answer: the tone is irony.
Explanation:the tone in this excerpt, seen above, can be identified as ironic. this is because the passage above is using the characteristics by using irony.
Irony: the expression of one's meaning by using language that normally signifies the opposite, typically for humorous or emphatic effect.
Angelou uses the tone irony all throughout the excerpt, "In cotton-picking time the late afternoons revealed the harshness of Black Southern life, which in the early morning had been softened by nature’s blessing of grogginess, forgetfulness and the soft lamplight." This tone relates to her individual experience and personal perspective because in the excerpt she makes pitty on the harshness of Black Sothern Life. meaning that she doesn't like the life that black people that lived in the south lived, she didn't like it because it was harsh and unfair.
Answer:
The comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding sheet is burial preparations for after death
Explanation:
The question is not complete since it does not provide the excerpt, here is the complete question:
During the picking season my grandmother would get out of bed at four o'clock and creak down to her knees and chant in a sleep-filled voice, "our father, you for letting me see this new day. you that you didn't allow the bed I lay on last night to be my cooling board, nor my blanket my winding sheet." in this excerpt use context clues to identify what comparison Angelou is making with the metaphors of bed as cooling board and blanket as winding sheet.
* bed linens at a resort
* a rack for hot food and a dish towel
* burial preparations for after death
* ironing equipment
These lines describe how the character's grandmother is grateful to good to be alive one more day, and she prays to him after having open her eyes another morning, the words cooling board and winding-sheet refer to the place where the body would rest after death, being the body and the coffin a cold since there is no life in there anymore, and the winding-sheet is the one that it is used to wrapped corpses to burial.
