Answer:
The narrator's intention for "unnaming" the animals is: to become one with nature and have equality rather than showing domination over the creatures by labeling them with a name.
Explanation:
In author Ursula K. Le Guin's short story "She Unnames Them" the narrator is Eve, the first woman created by God according to the Bible. As we know, according to the book of Genesis, Adam named the animals God created to be his companions. In the story, however, Eve realizes the need to take those names back. She even gives back her own name. Her purpose for doing that is to free herself and the animals of the labels that distinguish them. By remaining unnamed, they become the same. There is nothing separating their existence and sense of self any longer:
<em>They seemed far closer than when their names had stood between myself and them like a clear barrier: so close that my fear of them and their fear of me became one same fear. And the attraction that many of us felt, the desire to feel or rub or caress one another’s scales or skin or feathers or fur, taste one another’s blood or flesh, keep one another warm -- that attraction was now all one with the fear, and the hunter could not be told from the hunted, nor the eater from the food.

Robert Hayden was born on August 4, 1913 and died on February 25, 1980. He was an American poet, essayist, and educator. He served as Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress from 1976 to 1978, a role today known as US Poet Laureate. He was the first African-American writer to hold the office.
Robert Hayden was born in Detroit, Michigan, son of Ruth and Asa Sheffey. The couple separated before his birth. He was taken in by a foster family next door, Sue Ellen Westerfield and William Hayden, and grew up in a Detroit ghetto nicknamed "Paradise Valley". The Haydens' eternally belligerent marriage, coupled with Ruth Sheffey’s competition for her son's affections, made for a traumatic childhood. Witnessing fights and suffering beatings, Hayden lived in a house troubled with chronic anger. His childhood traumas resulted in debilitating bouts of depression that he later called "my dark nights of the soul".
Before answering the question, I would like to mention what we call free verse poetry. It is poetry that is free from limitations of regular meter or rhythm, and does not rhyme with fixed forms. Such poems are without rhythm and rhyme schemes, do not follow regular rhyme scheme rules, yet still provide artistic expression.
We can conclude that the present poem is written in free verse because:
There is no rhyme scheme.
The lines are unequal in length.
<em>The other options present limitations or patterns which are the opposite characteristics of free verse.</em>
Answer:
The metaphor "were a coat of armor"highlights the protection black students needed during the school integration
Explanation:
A metaphor typically is used as a figure of speech to pass expression in a statement. Such expressions when considered on the surface do not speak to the issue on ground but do have implied meanings and can be easily interpreted.
An example used alot by teenagers in school is "the test was a breeze". Breeze and test obviously don't go hand in hand, but breeze in this instance gives expression to '"ease, simple, not a problem" about the test.
And in this question, we see the 70s and periods before then was a tense one for black integration. The opposition against the integration of the Blacks was obvious thus the court demanded some level of protection. The Police being drafted in to take on that responsibility was a great confidence booster that minimized the fear faced by Black students; hence that protective layer from the police can be described as a coat of armor. Remember a coat of armor is steel and Iron, it repels pellets, sword attacks and rocks hauled at it.
The story evoked many emotions amongst the lead characters. Lizabeth used to be a careless girl that had matured because of the events happening around her. She had been angry at what she had done to Mrs. Lottie's perfect garden when poverty had hit them. She was confused why her strong father had cried.
Lizabeth realized in the end that life is never perfect and that she has to learn to understand and live it with what she has.
From Chaucer's The Canterbury Tales excerpt that contradicts the claim made in the third line that the prioress speaks fluent French is "For French of Paris was not hers to know."
In the General prologue, Chaucer satirizes several characters from various classes and professions. Beginning with the highest class to lower. The first character whom Chaucer introduces is the Prioress who is a nun. She is the first among the female to be described, the first question that evokes in the reader's mind is that such higher religious clergy doesn't take a vow of leading a simple life? Hence, Chaucer satirizes the church, as the members of the church belonged from the upper class. The prioress took advantage from the poor for her own good. She was very well '<em>dainty</em>' and was well-dressed. Being known as <em>"Madame Eglantyne"</em>, she was so pretentious that she hardly knew any words of French.
