Read the passage from Initiation. Millicent brushed back a strand of hair. It was stiff and sticky from the egg that they had br

oken on her head as she knelt blindfolded at the sorority altar a short while before.

The best answer is 
<span>The author uses indirect characterization to describe how Millicent feels.

While the author's description of the ceremony gives the idea that Millicent probably looks pretty gross, with egg on her head and whatnot, the passage mainly gives the reader an empathetic view into Millicent's experience. 
The scene is described as sounds and sensations from Millicent's point of view. She feels her stiff hair, and the cold egg on her back, hears the stifled laughter and crunch of the egg breaking. We can imagine the intensity of the experience, blindfolded and hearing, feeling, and probably smelling the unpleasant experiences during this initiation.
In the end, the passage concludes with: "</span><span>It was all part of the ceremony." This final sentence may relay how Millicent is processing the unpleasant initiation, rationalizing that this is just a step on her way to being part of the group. </span>

The line which is an irregular line of blank verse is the first one - <span>“He only says, ‘Good fences make good neighbours.’”
A blank verse is a type of a line that consists of 10 syllables, where each second syllable is stressed ( = iambic pentameter that Shakespeare always used). The second, third, and fourth line are all good examples of blank verse, whereas the first line has 11, instead of 10 syllables.

Ineffective communicators mindlessly or thoughtlessly say and do things that they may later regret,they are ignoring which funda
Nikolay [14]

Effective communication implies a process where an understanding of a message between a sender and a receiver takes place.

Effective communication requires the sender to know the purpose of the message. This is what we know as <em>principle of objective</em>. The sender must know what he wants to transmit and what he's going to get with it, as a final result. That's the reason why mindlessly communicators regret what they say, because they didn't think it through. They didn't have a <em>clear purpose</em> or <em>objective</em> when they sent their message.

Read Shakespeares sonnet 130 what is the best paraphrase of line 12
tiny-mole [99]

The best paraphrase of line 12 is "like everyone,she walks on the ground"

Throughout the sonnet the speaker is portraying his beloved as someone ordinary. He highlights the common characteristics and beauty of his lover using the conventional comparisons of the Shakespeare's days  for love poetry but in a negative way.

The love poetry of the those days was mainly based on metaphors comparing nature with the beauty of the loved women. In this sonnet Shakespeare reversed those conventions.

In line 12 and in the previous one the speaker states that he has never seen a goddess walking but he's sure that her mistress walks like everyone else.
