Answer:

Unacceptable.

Explanation:

The word "taboo" usually refers to anything that is deemed illegal, prohibited, repulsive, unacceptable, etc. It is used to talk of things that are not openly discussed, or accepted, and are secretive.

In the given scenario, Ron's refusal to talk about his salary shows he finds the topic unacceptable to be talked about openly. He seems to take the topic as something that is not openly talked about, and needs not do it. To him, his salary is something that is 'unacceptable' to be revealed.

<h3><u>A three paragraph essay about the best and worst times in Vincent Van Gogh’s life: </u></h3>

Vincent Van Gogh was one of the greatest artists of the 20th century. For him, colours were the medium of expression. Born in Holland in March, 1853, this son of a pastor was very emotional, had zero self-confidence and always faced a struggle with his own identity and direction. He believed that preaching the gospel was the aim of his life but it took him years to realise the true calling – that he would be an artist. During this phase, he had experienced two unhappy romances and had worked as a clerk in a bookstore, an art salesman unsuccessfully. He even worked as a preacher in the Borinage where he was dismissed for being fanatical.

He stayed in Belgium and studied art, his aim being delivering happiness through the creation of beauty. His early works are sharply lit, sombre-toned, genre paintings. The most famous is "The Potato Eaters" (1885). Two years later, he went to South Arles along with Gauguin to establish a school of art but the results are disastrous. Van’s nervous temperament and his night-long discussions along with painting all day affected his health. At the end of the year, Van pursued Gauguin with an open razor and a portion of his own ear lobe was cut off. Due to his fits of madness and lucidity, he was sent to Saint-Remy for treatment. In May 1890, he was better and went to live in Auvers-sur-Oise under the watchful eye of Dr. Gachet. Two months later, he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

Vincent Van Gogh had a brief career where he sold only one painting. He was poor, malnourished and overworked. Whatever money he got from his brother was spent on art supplies, coffee and cigarettes. His finest work was produced in less than three years in a technique which was a powerful fusion of form and content. It had the dramatic elements which were lyrically rhythmic, emotional and imaginative. Either Vincent wanted to explain his struggle against madness or wanted to show the spiritual essence of man and nature. Though his success was short-lived, his legacy still has an impact in the arena of art .

How does the speaker’s description of flowers develop the meaning of the poem
vagabundo [1.1K]

This question is incomplete, here´s the complete question

Read Identity, by Julio Noboa

How does the speaker’s description of flowers develop the meaning of the poem?

The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.  

The speaker views the existence of flowers as more free than the life of a weed.

The speaker views the existence of flowers as an appreciation to humans.

The speaker views the existence of flowers as an inconvenience to humans.

Answer: The speaker views the existence of flowers as more limited than the life of a weed.  

Explanation:

As the title indicates, identity is the main theme of this poem, as well as the freedom of maintaining one´s individuality.

Polanco presents the life of flowers as limited in the sense that they are bound to a pot that restrains them, and they grow surrounded by other identical flowers. This could be a metaphor about those who obey the commands of a constraining society.

Unlike flowers, a weed, although ugly and foul-smelling, grows free, such as a person who preserves individual freedoms.

Identify the themes that are at work in Sylvia Plath’s “Mirror.” Select all that apply.
nadezda [96]

The themes that are at work in Sylvia Plath's "Mirror" are truth and dishonesty and the waning of beauty over time.

"Mirror" is a short poem written by Plath in 1961, a time in her life when she dreaded the idea of getting old. The poem reflects this fear and her emotional state.

There is a line in the poem that says "I am not cruel, only truthful". What she means is that<u> the mirror never lies and, as "a little god", it is capable of see it all.</u> In this sense,<u> the mirror is omniscient, as opposed to the "liars": the candles and the moon.</u> Furthermore, there is a line in the poem that says "Faces and darkness separate us over and over" where <u>she refers to the passing of time and how fast a young girl can become an old woman</u>. Over the course of the poem, there are several lines that reflect the fear of growing old and the fading of beauty.
