"Song of the Open Road." This was originally called "Poem of the Open Road" when it first appeared in the 1856 edition of Leaves of Grass, but Whitman kept tinkering with this, and the other poems in the collection, for the rest of his life. The gist, however, remains the same: Whitman's speaker is off for the open road, to experience the freedom and expansiveness it promises. Along the way, he finds lots of people and sees lots of the country—all of which he loves, and all of which he invites us to appreciate in his own particular Whitmanian way.


Like the bumper sticker says: life's not about the destination; it's about the journey. And good luck finding a more generous, enthusiastic tour guide than ol' Walt.

Elden [556K]

The correct answer is Jerry.

Since Kevin and Mark eat carpool with the manager, that means that neither of them is the manager.

That leaves two options: Jerry and Tom. But later on, we are told that Tom watches TV with the manager.

Therefore, the only possible answer is Jerry.

In a complex behavior, such as reading and interpreting a poem, how many brain systems are typically involved?
aalyn [17]

Answer:

The hippocampus inside our brain consists of two “horns” that curve back from the amygdala. The hippocampus is important in storing information in long-term memory. If the hippocampus is damaged, a person cannot build new memories, living instead in a strange world where everything he or she experiences just fades away, even while older memories from the time before the damage are untouched. In this way it can help in reading and interpreting a poem.

Read this sentence.
Maslowich

It creates the feeling that New York is a living being.

Personification is giving nonhuman things human-like traits. In the sentence New York is described as having pockets and breathing. It's also described as having a morning and a night. These are all things a living being has. There are no noises besides breathing described, and this is not noisy. The conditions are also not described as being crowded. The tone is not predatory or negative so this also eliminates option B.
