Answer:

A- "Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..."

Explanation:

Foreshadowing is a literary device that writers employ as a way of giving some hints about what is to happen later on in the story. Foreshadowing usually brings upon a negative connotation to it.

The line "Weak as the doe who beds down her fawns / in the mighty lion's den..." was said by Menelaus to Telemachus when he hears of the suitors in the palace. By using a metaphor, he means to say that Odysseus is the lion who owns the place and the suitors are just 'fawns', who will all be killed when the master of the house returns. He is comparing Odysseus with a lion who comes back to his palace full of fawns, weaklings. This event foreshadows the fate of these suitors who were trying to force Penelope into marrying one of them, for her husband Odysseus is no more and the kingdom needs a new king.

Answer:

Body Paragraph 2

Topic: The lack of understanding from the protesters

Example: "These protesters couldn’t have known what Areliss felt as they shouted and waved pamphlets in our faces like tattered flags. But, I know their words were bullets to Areliss’s heart. I wanted to fire back to the protestors: Where are your ancestors from?"

Explanation: They way the protesters are shouting at Brittany friend was so brutal and so harsh. They wouldn't understand the way she felt, and for that reason right there she wanted to say something that would been detrimental to them rednecks. 

Example: "But, those who oppose DACA, who wield protest signs and who want to build walls, have never felt the dreaded doom of deportation. They forget that our long and colorful history has been built by many immigrants—including the immigrants who fought for and founded our country. They forget that Lady Liberty stands as a beacon, asking for the tired, the poor, and the huddled masses yearning to breathe free. We have a responsibility to them"

Explanation: All her letter was basely saying she is trying to remind the people who oppose DACA and haven't felt the dread or the worry of discrimination. Some of them rednecks forgot that the immigrants built up the country. Since they forgot now the world is built up with hatred.

Part 2:

In this story, Martin Luther King shows how they treated horribly and how he wants a change. In this story, Martin Luther King writes a letter on how he and his friends are treated rudely. Dr King and his friends come off a bus and see protesters telling them to leave. People telling them to go home where they are from. The reason they are being treated so bad is that his friend did not come to the united states legally. Their parents came looking for a better lifestyle but didn't do it the right way. When she got off the bus and saw how they treated her it hurt her very much.

schepotkina [342]

Your question is missing the options. I've found the complete question online. It is as follows:

Anne Bradstreet was a Puritan who lived during Colonial America. Her poems reflected elements of her personal life. In this poem, her house has burned and she has lost all of her possessions. Read the last two stanzas (lines 43-54). How do these lines reflect aspects of her Puritan beliefs?

A) She relies on her own work ethic to build her another house.

B) She is so distraught that she wishes she had died in the fire.

C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

D) She prays for an architect from town to come build her a new home.

Answer:

The correct answer is letter C) She knows that her permanent home is waiting for her in heaven.

Explanation:

In the last two stanzas of her poem "Verses upon the Burning of our House, July 10th, 1666", author Anne Bradstreet calls God the mighty Architect. She does not seem to repine over the house she has lost to the fire. Quite the contrary, she is faithful to the belief that her permanent home is the spiritual one waiting for her in heaven. That is a reflection of her Puritan beliefs. This world is nothing but a passageway for the next and most important one. She does not need to suffer over material losses because what truly matters is the spirit. As she says in the last line of the poem, "My hope and treasure lies above."
