The answer is A: a group of writers and thinkers centered in Greenwich Village, New York City, in the mid-1950s.

Literary figures like Jack Kerouac and Allen Ginsberg, who would later add other writers to their literary movement, like William Burroughs, started sharing a living and creative space in Greenwich Village, New York, were they would explore the senselessness of the American way of life in search for higher spiritual and bodily ideals of liberation and ecstasy. They would later become strong influences of various social movements in the 1960´s and 70´s, though their influence can still be perceived in contemporary literature and society.

liberstina [14]

Answer:

C)This metaphor is significant because water is a symbol of youth and beauty, which the mirror reflects.

Explanation:

Metaphor is a figure of speech widely used in poems, because it is a figure of expressive content. Through the use of metaphor, the author can produce phrases of figurative meanings, through comparisons between two things that will bring a poetic and expressive meaning to a given phrase.

We can see an example of this, in the question above, where the author uses the metaphor to compare a mirror with a lake, in a very poetic way. This is because the mirror has the ability to reflect the image that is placed in front of you, when the woman places herself in front of the mirror she sees her young and beautiful image. Youth and beauty can be symbolized through the water of a lake that remains youthful for eternity and owner of a beauty reflected in its waters.

What do the phrases "made man" and "making of a man" mean in the context of the story? Use evidence from the text to explain you
alekssr [168]
The phrase "making of a man" refers to the process by which a man becomes successful or prosperous, while the phrase "made man" refers to actually being successful. 
The phrase "making of a man" is used when Henry discusses Harris’s "humble feeding house." He says, "I was the making of Harris. The fact had gone all abroad that the foreign crank who carried million-pound bills in his vest pocket was the patron saint of the place.” When people find out that Henry, already known for having a million-pound bank note, breakfasts at Harris’s eating house, the restaurant’s popularity skyrockets. Earlier, Harris’s eating house had been "poor, struggling," but it became "celebrated, and overcrowded with customers" after London society hears that Henry eats there. 
The phrase "made man" is used when Henry is caricatured in Punch. He says, "Punch caricatured me! Yes, I was a made man now; my place was established. I might be joked about still, but reverently, not hilariously, not rudely; I could be smiled at, but not laughed at." Because he was mimicked so publicly, Henry becomes famous, and his good reputation is solidified.
