In "Song of Myself" written by Walt Whitman it presents a slow, but pleasant and cozy rhythm, the author uses long lines that establish a complete thought and promote a simple interpretation, which does not require much effort from the reader to understand it. The configuration of the lines and the establishment of the rhythm of this poem, together with the words that compose it, allows the reader to savor a feeling of physical and mental relaxation, as if he were in an activity that provides leisure and rest and not a storm of emotions. and reflections, as poems can do.

The rhythm and long lines allow the reader to read the poem patiently, promoting the same rest and relaxation that the speaker of the poem seems to be having, without unpredictability and without furor in the soul.

How does the second passage develop Kaku’s idea that humans have become active choreographers of nature?
dybincka [34]

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".

Read the excerpt below and answer the question. “Ah’m too honest and hard-workin’ for anybody in yo’ family, dat’s de reason you
Ostrovityanka [42]

The right answer is the second option. Logan is expressing his opinion about Janie’s rejection feelings. Based on his speech and the conversation context, Logan seems to be a working class person, whose education may not seem enough for Janie’s parents or whole family’s standards. Also, his exclamation in the second part, when crying, it can be noticed that he implies to be upset with someone, in this case Janie. So more than hating her family, his feelings on her rejection due to his social status wins over. Just to add this fragment comes from the book The Assertive Woman in Zora Neale Hurston's Fiction, Folklore, and Drama by Pearlie Mae Fisher Peter, in which she relates the struggle of African American society and how wrong assumptions on social classes caused Logan and Janie relationship not to be acceptable at that time.
