Answer: A. It inspires readers to appreciate the joys of the present.

Due to the constant changes the author experienced throughout his life, and the uncertainty regarding his future, it is likely he developed a heightened appreciation for the small pleasures of everyday life. This appreciation of the present is displayed in the poem, in which eating peaches by an orchard is presented as such a special and wonderful experience.

Which of the following best summarizes the circumstances Chief Red Cloud and his people were facing before they were placed on r
vitfil [10]

The right answer is "B Red Cloud describes the situation as bleak; with little food and fading traditions, they felt one of their only choices was to agree to reservation life and adopt white American ways."

In 1871, the government established the Red Cloud Agency on the Platte River, downstream from Fort Laramie. As outlined in the 1868 Treaty, the agency staff were responsible for issuing weekly rations to the Oglala, as well as providing the annually distributed supply of cash and annuity goods. The agent and Washington officials would determine how much of the annuity was to be paid in cash or goods, and sometimes the supplies were late, in poor condition, inadequate in amount, or never arrived at all. Red Cloud took his band to the agency (a predecessor of the Native American reservation) and tried to help them in the transition to a different way of life. In the fall of 1873, the agency was removed to the upper White River in northwestern Nebraska.

What is the persona asking the reader to bring?coup de grace
Mademuasel [1]

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached, we can say the following.

What the persona is asking the reader to bring, according to one of the verses of the poem is "more promises, contrived images, false hopes when in truth you’re thinking  how to butcher us even more."

Indeed, the final part of the poem ends with the following verse: <em>"The next time we meet & you find us restless speak to us of your visions. Regale us with More promises, contrived images, false hopes when in truth you’re thinking  how to butcher us even more."</em>

We are talking about the poem "Coup De Gracé," written by Noel Moratilla. Coupe de Grace is a Frech expression that can be translated into English as "Final Stroke." The poem reflects the pain, destruction, and desolation that many poor people live after people have "blind eyes" for not noticing the problems and needs of the desperate ones.

Read the counterclaim from an argumentative essay.
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

The counterclaim given is as follows: Albel Bob Dylan's lyrics are just as effective without musical accompaniment.

The best repudiation for the counterclaim is A) which states that it is impossible to separate song lyrics from the music that accompanies them.

Explanation:

The counterclaim tries to throw weight behind the lyrics to Dylan's songs. There is no problem with this as his songs are incomplete without the lyrics.  

However, to say they (the lyrics that is,) are just as effective without musical accompaniment is to assert that anybody can pick up those lyrics and express how they want (like a poem for instance) and still achieve the same effects they had with the musical accompaniment. This, of course, is impracticable as it in a way diminishes the musical aspect of Dylan's work.  

Some of the awards that Albel Bob Dylan has received include the Presidential Medal of Freedom, ten Grammy Awards, a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award. As far as history has it, no award has been given to him for the best poem or work of literature.

Awards are recognition of one's efforts. It's away of saying one's efforts meets a certain degree of perfection/standard. The more recognised an award is globally, the more authoritative it is considered to be.

Therefore, to agree with the statement from the counterclaim is to invariably assert that the bodies responsible for recognising superior musical prowess globally (such as the Grammy, Golden Globe and the Academy awards) might have issued the awards to him in error.  Even if one of the bodies did issue him an award in error, it is impossible on, on the balance of probabilities, for same error to be repeated across various organisations several times, over the same constant - Bob Dylan's music.

Cheers!
