Read the passages, and then write two to three sentences comparing the authors’ approaches and purposes. Cite specific evidence

from the texts to support your claims.
The first part of my life was rather unlucky, as I was placed in a family who judged ignorance the best and only security for obedience.—A little reading and writing I got by unwearied application.—The latter part of my life has been—thro' God's blessing, truly fortunate, having spent it in the service of one of the best families in the kingdom.

–Letter from Ignatius Sancho
to Laurence Sterne

Thanks be to God, I was delivered from Grenada, and that horrid brutal slavery.—A gentleman coming to England, took me for his servant, and brought me away, where I soon found my situation become more agreeable. After coming to England, and seeing others write and read, I had a strong desire to learn . . .

Answer:

Explanation:

Both Sancho and Cugoano want to show that despite their difficult experiences as enslaved people, they were able to persevere and become accomplished writers. Both writers invoke God to demonstrate their religious convictions. However, Cugoano is much more explicit about the horrors of slavery, calling it “horrid” and “brutal,” while Sancho says only that he was “unlucky.”

In at least 150 words, describe how the style and technique of "Grass" contribute to its overall meaning.
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

The author uses anaphoras, free verse and personification

Explanation:

The style and technique used by Carl Salsburg in this poem is a free verse style, using anaphoras to create emphasis and personification.

To use free verse means that within the poem, there is no regular rhyme scheme or meter.

Also, anaphoras are a form of creating emphasis in the poem, by repeating certain verses like "Shovel them under and let me work, I am the grass; I cover all."  Similarly, the author enlists some battlefields across Europe, using the same format. "Pile the bodies high at Austerlitz and Waterloo. And pile them high at Gettysburg, And pile them high at Ypres and Verdun. " Without the constant repetition, the reader may overlook the focal point of the poem.

Last, the personification of the grass in the poem. By talking like a person and acting out, the grass creates symbolism with emotional meaning.  It is about life after death, the constant change of life and the forgetfulness.

Without all these elements the poem wouldn't have the meaning that it does, the depth that the author communicates.

What type of phrase is underlined in this sentence? The bond between my dog and me is unbreakable. A. Noun B. Adverbial C. Verb
dsp73

Answer:

The answer is option D.

Explanation:

A modifier expression is a gathering of words that depict a thing or pronoun in a sentence. The descriptive word in a modifier expression can show up toward the begin, end, or amidst the expression. The descriptive word expression can be set previously, or after, the thing or pronoun in the sentence. Lexicons for the most part mark "how" as a qualifier, however one gets into troubles when one needs to demonstrate that it is a verb modifier. Qualifiers adjust a few other word classes as verbs, descriptors, intensifiers, even sentences. The most straightforward meaning of a descriptor is that it is a word that portrays or illuminates a thing. Descriptors portray things by giving some data around a protest's size, shape, age, shading, inception or material. It's a major table.
