Answer and Explanation:

"The Turtle" is a poem by author Mary Oliver in which a beautiful and sacred action is described. The speaker is delighted by a turtle laying her eggs in the sand, patiently, full of a drive no one - not even the turtle herself - knows where it comes from. T<u>he speaker also draws attention to the fact that the turtle is unaware of itself as an individual. She sees herself as the world, and world as herself, all things converging to keep life going:</u>

<em>she is a part of the pond she lives in, </em>

<em>the tall trees are her children, </em>

<em>the birds that swim above her </em>

<em>are tied to her by an unbreakable string.</em>

<u>The word choice in this stanza is particularly interesting. The author chose to say that the birds "swim" above the turtle. That serves to enhance the sense of connectedness. There is no difference between the turtle and the birds. They all fly; they all swim; they are all a part of the world, and the world itself. Even though they may appear different, they belong together in nature, completing the gorgeous mosaic of life. "Swim" only helps convey this beautiful idea that the turtle "can't see herself apart from the rest of the world."</u>

Which excerpt from Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost a Man" best supports the inference that Dave and his father do not have a cl
lesya692 [45]

The correct answer is A.

In Wright's "The Man Who Was Almost a Man," a seventeen year old, wants to buy a gun to get the respect he feels he deserves and to show that he is no longer a child.

However, when he has to ask money to buy the gun, he decides to ask his mother instead of his father because he knows his father will immediately say no.

This reflects that Dave and his father do not have a close relationship since Dave doesn't feel that his father would listen to him and consider his request.

Read the poem "Grass" and answer the question that follows.
Katarina [22]

Answer:

The phrase suggests that people quickly forget the past.

Explanation:

We can immediately strike out "The phrase stresses that grass needs time to do its work." since it is clear that there is a deeper meaning to the poem. We can strike out "The phrase implies that time helps people heal their emotional wounds. " under the explaination that there is no emotional aspect to the poem. It is from the grass's POV. There have been no emotional connections said outright to allow us to draw this conclusion. Finally, we can strike "The phrase describes the intervals between the wars. " Although places such as Austerlitz, Waterloo, Gettysburg, Ypres, and Verdun are mentioned, it doesn't seem as though this is what the poem is mainly about. It is about how the grass is working for years and years. It can be assumed that as many people forget about grass, people can quickly forget the past.
