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.

Which TWO lines in this excerpt suggest the physical union of the lovers?
Anestetic [448]

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.

One interpretation of the story “The Lightning-Rod Man” is that Melville is criticizing certain Christian missionaries of the ti
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Explanation:

Melville’s story is an allegory that conveys his criticism of Christian missionaries. Melville uses several biblical, scientific, mythological, and historical allusions to build his allegory. The lightning-rod man represents Christian missionaries, while the narrator represents Melville’s beliefs. According to him, missionaries are displacing and destroying the cultures they are attempting to convert rather than bringing them true spirituality. Although the narrator isn’t influenced by the lightning-rod man, he is saddened and worried to see his neighbors fall prey to the missionaries' trap. The narrator tries to dissuade his neighbors from believing in the lightning-rod man, who continues to thrive as he “trades with the fears of men.” Unlike many others of the time period, Melville believes in being God-loving, not God-fearing. :) Hope this helped.
